Haddi
Haddi treats its transgender protagonist with a great deal of dignity and has a wonderful love story. However, writer-director Akshat Ajay Sharma's writing is so devoid of meat that the film does not make us root for most of its characters.

Friday Night Plan
The set-up is cheesy and the scenarios are flimsy on paper, but writer Vatsal Neelakantan has a real feel for how teenagers talk. The film's deliberate use of half English and half Hindi makes the conversation seem urban, fun, and reasonably authentic.

Piyush Gupta's Tarla is a tad simplistic, but it benefits from the performances of its two leads and his assured direction. The movie about famous chef and food journalist Tarla Dalal contains pearls of wisdom about womanhood and family responsibilities.

The fights may be generic, and the plot may not be novel, but Bloody Daddy works solely based on the performances. For instance, Shahid Kapoor brings out a sense of chiseled intensity that works well for the movie.

Hamza writes engaging scenes and draws outstanding performances from the actors. There is a lovely scene where Ameen tells Haala that he does not know whether she prefers black coffee or black tea in the morning. It is a nice role reversal.
