Director: Nitesh Tiwari

User Rating:
An ex-wrestler channels his ambition for an international gold medal through his daughters and he trains them to fight. A quintessential sports movie, where everyone laughs at Geeta and Babita Phogat when their father pits them against boys in local 'Dangal' - a wrestling match, then hold them high when the two sisters win state and national competitions. Brilliant biographical tale that is a must watch. Read Review
Aligarh (HINDI)
Manoj Bajpai , Rajkummar Rao , Aashish Vidyarthi Sumit Gulati
Director: Hansal Mehta
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
A professor of Marathi in Aligarh University is forced to resign after being humiliated for being gay. This is his story, sensitively told and brilliantly delivered by Manoj Bajpai and supported by Rajkummar Rao. Read Review
Fan (HINDI)
Shah Rukh Khan , Vaani Kapoor , Ileana Shriya Pilgaonkar
Director: Maneesh Sharma
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
They don't call them 'crazy fans' without reason! And who else but Shah Rukh Khan could show how horrendous it is to live a life that fans perceive as perfect. The film is taut and tense. And just when you think things could get predictable, you are shook by its madness. Read Review
Airlift (HINDI)
Akshay Kumar , Nimrat Kaur , Lena Ferena Wazeir
Director: Raja Krishna Menon
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
We like stories of unlikely ordinary men who obey the call of extraordinary circumstances and turn out to be heroes. The story of one of the largest rescues is nicely packaged here as a movie and presented with Akshay Kumar at his earnest best. It takes its own sweet time to set up, but when the story proceeds, it literally 'takes off'. Read Review
Neerja (HINDI)
Sonam Kapoor , Shabana Azmi , Shekhar Ravjiani Yogendra Tikku
Director: Ram Madhvani
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
The film is beautifully made and keeps the drama alive in the first half and then loses steam in the second half and ends on a high emotional note. Read Review
Nil Battey Sannata (HINDI)
Swara Bhaskar , Ratna Pathak , Pankaj Tripathi Ria Shukla
Director: Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
'If the son of a doctor becomes a doctor, the son of an engineer, an engineer, then won't the daughter of a domestic worker become a domestic worker?' A mother of a stubborn young girl who lives in a shanty town in Agra decides that she is going to prove her daughter's statement wrong. And we get to watch a delightful film on relationships, on tenacity, on education... Read Review
Kapoor & Sons (HINDI)
Sidharth Malhotra , Fawad Afzal Khan , Alia Bhatt Rishi Kapoor
Director: Shakun Batra

Critic Rating:
User Rating:
Is there any family without little cracks and big gaps? In a small town of Kunoor, inside a traditional bungalow, a family faces many struggles. Read Review
Saala Khadoos (HINDI)
R. Madhavan , Ritika Singh , Nassar Zakir Hussain
Director: Sudha Kongara
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
The movie deserves praise for sticking to the sports underdog-movie formula and offering us a decent watch. Madhavan as always is delicious on the screen, despite being given the instructions that he has to be Khadoos (crotchety) all the time. Once you get used to the even louder student (marvelously played by newcomer Ritika Singh), the film sort of grows on you. But the predictability of the story makes its 109 minutes feel like three hours. Read Review
Jugni (HINDI)
Sugandha Garg , Siddhant Behl , Anurita Jha SADHANA SINGH
Director: Shefali Bhushan
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
The beginning of the movie, the music, the hero's charming presence, the funny appealing dialog keeps you so happy, you sort of believe that the movie is going to be better than fabulous. But the predictable turns the story takes throw the whole movie down a cliff and it just crashes. Read Review
Anurag Kashyap delivers a gritty, grimy, gut-wrenching story of opposites in order to tell you that they're not really so. Takes a while to come to the point, but you understand why it is so difficult to edit out stuff that is so deliciously dark. The opposites played by Vicky Kaushal and Nawazuddin Siddiqui are so equally ugly, you know the director has made his point when you cannot swallow popcorn. Read Review
Sultan (HINDI)
Salman Khan , Anushka Sharma , Urvashi Rautela Randeep Hooda
Director: Ali Abbas Zafar
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
The most anticipated film of the year: Salman Khan's Eid release, Yash Raj films and the film has been directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. But what starts out to be a promising romance between sportspersons (both are wrestlers) soon dives headlong into a horribly predictable tale badly told. How you will hanker for Chak De! Read Review
Zubaan (HINDI)
Sarah Jane Dias , Vicky Kaushal , Manish Chaodhary Meghna Malik
Director: Mozez Singh
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
You come away with mixed feelings even though you really loved the idea of 'tumhari zubaan kuch keh rahi hai...'. Read Review
Traffic (HINDI)
Manoj Bajpai , Jimmy Shergill , Divya Dutta Parambrata Chatterjee
Director: Rajesh Pillai
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
For a remake of a Malayalam movie this one tells the tale based on a true story, but it becomes so tedious because it tries too hard to infuse the TV drama pace of Kiefer Sutherland's 24 and ends up being tedious. Read Review
Dishoom (HINDI)
Varun Dhawan , John Abraham , Jacqueline Fernandez Akshaye Khanna
Director: Rohit Dhawan
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
If you said Hindi comedy, it meant ghastly sex comedies or completely stupid comedies which are loud and labled 'leave your brains behind'. Thankfully Dishoom is nothing like either. It's pure fun. Silly, but fun. You'll laugh at the funny lines, and you'll like where the story is going. And everyone in the cast looks like they had a great time at the movies. Read Review
Udta Punjab (HINDI)
Shahid Kapoor , Alia Bhatt , Kareena Kapoor Diljit Dosanjh
Director: Abhishek Chaubey
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
Controversy's child makes an appearance on the big screen and you will find yourself involved with the characters. The storytelling is so good, you will want the good guys to win. You will take sides. You will despair at the bad guys. You will love the characters, hate them, and just be plain horrified and disturbed by them, but you will not come away untouched. Read Review
Happy Bhag Jayegi (HINDI)
Abhay Deol , Diana Penty , Ali Fazal Jimmy Shergill
Director: Mudassar Aziz
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
An India-Pakistan encounter that does not involve terrorists or silly politicians or bad-mouthing 'them'? Never thought it was possible. But writer-director Mudassar Aziz manages that and offers us a funny story on a runaway bride, harried cops, silly cops, ambitious fathers, arranged marriages, and so much more... Mostly predictable, but delightful nonetheless. Read Review
Akira (HINDI)
Sonakshi Sinha , Konkona Sen Sharma , Amit Sadh Mithun Chakraborty
Director: A. R. Murugadoss
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
Sonakshi Sinha plays Akira, a girl who has been taught to stand up to bullies from her childhood. She stands in the way of a bunch of crooked cops headed by Anurag Kashyap. What unfolds keeps you hooked for one hundred and thirty eight minutes. Read Review
Banjo (HINDI)
Ritesh Deshmukh , Nargis Fakhri , Mohan Kapoor Dharmesh Yelande
Director: Ravi Jadhav
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
We make good musicals, that everyone knows. This film is about a street music band, hugely popular at religious festivals, community celebratory gatherings like dandiyas, but get no respect because they're not posh 'rock' bands. This film brings their music and their lives on to cinema and tell us an engaging love story. Read Review
Budhia Singh - Born To Run (HINDI)
Manoj Bajpai , Mayur Patel , Tilotama Shome Shruti Marathe
Director: Soumendra Padhi
Trailer |
Critic Rating:
User Rating:
When a coach trains a five year old against all logic, is it for self publicity or has he really saved the boy from abject poverty and slavery? Does the government have any right over a young sportsperson's need to run or did they do a right thing? This movie tackles all this and more by telling us the story of a five year old marathon runner Budhia Singh and his devoted coach Birinchi Das. Will shake you up. Read Review
