43%
3/5
“In a very roundabout, over-simplistic way, the film is actually progressive. Thank you for small mercies. Plenty laughs are guaranteed.” –

Kedarnath (2018)
47%
2.5/5
“Kedarnath ultimately falls short of living up to its promise, but I was happy to visit its world. The imagery is overwhelming, even if the writing feels labored.” –

Pad Man (2018)
74%
“It's well-intended but let down by clunky execution. Which is a shame. Because PadMan deserves credit for addressing a subject that Indians find hard to talk about.” –

Tomb Raider (2018)
52%
2.5/5
“The key to becoming invested in the film -- despite its overall familiarity and lack of any genuine surprise or originality -- is Vikander's natural performance... She's the reason Tomb Raider isn't a complete waste of time.” –

Padmaavat (2018)

3.5/5
“The film belongs to Ranveer Singh whose delicious performance is its biggest strength. The actor keeps you invested in the film even when it plods on for over two-and-a-half hours.” –

Brahman Naman (2016)

2.5/5
“Perhaps if it was better fleshed out, the film could have been a sparkling comedy. But despite all the sexual suggestiveness and jokes, it just doesn't rise to the occasion.” –

Sultan (2016)
69%
3.5/5
“Sultan is predictable, no two questions about it. But it's powered by a riveting central performance that makes you overlook so many of its problems.” –

“Robbie, Waltz and Jackson add chutzpah, but occasionally slip into overacting, making this film a complete ham and cheese sandwich.” –

“Anyone who -- like me -- had grown tired and disappointed with Shah Rukh's unwillingness to step out of his comfort zone will have reason to be a fan again.” –

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

2/5
“Two films down and it would appear that Zack Snyder's most significant contribution to the superhero genre will be in reminding us just how much we miss Christopher Nolan's artistry from the Dark Knight movies.” –

Spectre (2015)
63%
3.5/5
“Like a satisfying masala Bollywood film, Spectre is strictly escapist fun. Nothing wrong with that. It's just that you know what they could've pulled off had they tried harder.” –

Titli (2014)

“It may not be everyone's cup of tea -- it's especially not for the squeamish -- but it's an unflinching study of family in the way that the movies rarely provide.” –

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015)
46%
3/5
“[Salman Khan] is in good form -- terrific in the comic scenes, and earnest in the emotional ones -- turning on the charm to help you survive, and even enjoy, this nearly 3 hour film that's crammed with songs, and over-styled to a fault.” –

“It's more engaging than such typical Salman Khan blockbusters as Bodyguard and Ready, if only because it has a sliver of a story, and its heart in the right place.” –
