Despite its minor flaws, lack of logic, and lecture-style moral narrative, Vettaiyan should be enjoyed in a theatre amid Rajini fans and their wolf whistles, endorses Divya Nair.

Zindaginama keeps its tone hopeful and steers away from making the stories tragic or depressing, observes Deepa Gahlot.

Between tons of sexual innuendo and Kapil Sharma brand of slapstick gags characterised in loud caricatures, moronic behaviour, flimsy wigs and cartoonish rhythm, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video's jarring notions of exuberance have nothing novel to offer, groans Sukanya Verma.

Raat Jawaan Hai is funny, sometimes intense, but most importantly it's so relatable, recommends Namrata Thakker.

Vasan Bala's ability to jolt our Bollywood conditioned brains into experiencing new forms of menace, turning a John Woo-style prison riot into a Chinese communist movement and showcasing Alia in a savage new light won Sukanya Verma's dil and jigra.

Citadel: Diana is fun to watch, in a popcorn entertainment way, observes Deepa Gahlot.

Adah Sharma, who seems to be holding back an eye roll, is the only half-way decent actor amidst the crowd of amateurs and a bored-looking Rahul Dev in Reeta Sanyal, observes Deepa Gahlot.

Bandaa Singh Chaudhary compromises on its hard realism to go after an easily digestible, mass, entertainer that ultimately undoes everything that the film had set out to say, sighs Mayur Sanap.

The Miranda Brothers is short on humour, romance and real drama, observes Deepa Gahlot.

Do Patti gives in to its basest impulses, but collapses like a house of cards when it aims to be clever, notes Sukanya Verma.

If Singham was a biryani, with all the flavours coming together seamlessly, Singham Again is a desi thaali, full of scrumptious dishes, but a tad in excess, discovers Sonil Dedhia who watched the film in New Zealand.

After Sita Raman, this is a Dulquer Salmaan film that has won Divya Nair's heart.

Mithya The Darker Chapter has a constant been-there-seen-that feeling. Everything is dialled to 11, be it the emotional rundown of the characters or dramatic moments that form their dynamic, notes Mayur Sanap.

A gleefully hammy Madhuri and Vidya's volley of death stares and evil laughs engage in a ruthless glamorous tug of war in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, notes Sukanya Verma.

Amaran is effective as a intimate, well researched piece of storytelling but does not try to break any new ground, observes Arjun Menon.

Singham Again is action heavy, so its appeal is limited to fans of the genre, observes Deepa Gahlot.
