Freddy
Writer Parveez Shaikh's script for Freddy has some clever one-liners and some juice for a mindlessly pulpy thriller. However, its treatment deprives us of any opportunity to get even some guilty pleasure.

An Action Hero
An Action Hero is an action-comedy film about the make-believe nature of show business. In it, director Anirudh Iyer and writer Neeraj Yadav convey high-concept ideas through a high-octane action film with plenty of hilarity.

Qala
Anvita Dutt's Qala is wonderfully shot and filled with terrific performers, but it stagnates after a point. To give credit where its due, however, the film addresses toxic motherhood in a way that Hindi showbiz hardly does these days.

Bhediya
Bhediya plays out as a werewolf film, but the real deal here is the material with an overarching message about deforestation. The film makes us wonder what the bigger sin is: the trial of blood that the werewolf leaves behind or the forest land that the contract workers pluck away?

With Monica, O My Darling, director Vasan Bala Indianizes Keigo Higashino's novel 'Burutasu No Shinzou' with a plethora of pop culture references. Here, Bala acknowledges many exponents of film noir from Indian cinema, including Sriram Raghavan.

Doctor G
If the first half of Doctor G seems dumb, it is intentional. You realize that the movie is not as dumb as it appears when a character questions the logic in describing the Gynecology Department as Streerog Vibhaag.

Vikram Vedha
Vikram Vedha is unlike your usual cop-gangster movie in that it has no conventional hero or villain. It is based on the idea that cops and gangsters are closely related, although they seem very different.

Brahmastra
Brahmastra: Part One - Shiva is the first in a series of three films. Given the bumper opening for the film, one wonders how many more of those rings of fire one would have to sit through. Nevertheless, the young at heart will have a good time watching it.

Laal Singh Chaddha
Laal Singh Chaddha appeals more to the heart and is a bit too long, but there is enough in it to leave you teary-eyed. The movie works like a warm blanket from head to toe on a cold Sunday morning.

Darlings
Darlings deals with a grim subject matter, but writer-director Reen mines moments of hilarity from it. There is a hiccup or two in the second half, but the actors keep it grounded and engaging throughout.

Jersey
As with most Hindi films about cricket, Jersey has its fair share of issues. It also does not quite meet its full potential. Nevertheless, it is an engaging watch thanks to the cricket bits, the performances and the music.

Dasvi
Tushar Jalota's Dasvi does not quite work as a satire but is always entertaining. It bats for a good cause and is enjoyable thanks mainly to the performance of Abhishek Bachchan.
