The writing is not particularly remarkable in Kathal, but the film is consistently engaging and entertaining. Its highlight is the hilarious performances from a group of outstanding performers, most notably Rajpal Yadav, Sanya Malhotra, and Brijendra Kala.

Hansal Mehta's Faraaz is a heart-rending recount of the 2016 terrorist attack in Dhaka. The movie moves at a snail's pace but documents the real-life incident with aplomb. Mehta deserves credit for not fictionalizing a real-life incident and maintaining subtlety throughout.

Siddharth Anand's Pathaan has all the necessary ingredients as well as bells and whistles for an Indian action film. It has a solid plot that talks about the valor and patriotism of soldiers, a star who is making a big-screen comeback after a long time, and a nigh-indestructible villain.

As a spy thriller, Mission Majnu is hardly believable. This film is about an Indian spy trying to find out the whereabouts of a nuclear mission in Pakistan and stop it. Even the levels in a kid's video game would be more puzzling for the protagonist than the stages of the mission for the spy here.
