Beneath its dazzling veneer, this emperor has no clothes, says J Jagannath.

'I hope against hope that Indian film-makers don't take their future cue from the creator of this insufferable franchise,' says J Jagannath.

When a Hindi film does well in Chennai, it's time to sit up and take notice, says A Ganesh Nadar.

'Kaala's sin is not that it is presented as a mouthpiece for its director Pa Ranjith's political viewpoints, but that it makes a travesty of them.''Ranjith turns Marx into merchandise, all the while functioning as a hired hand for Brand Rajinikanth,' points out Sreehari Nair.

Both Raazi and Veere Di Wedding are interesting films that worked. There is no point reading a trend in them, says Vanita Kohli-Khandekar.

'Aaradhya is constantly singing and dancing at home, sometimes to my songs, sometimes to her father's and her grandfather's songs.''It's a normal household.''We're trying to keep the atmosphere around Aaradhya as normal as possible,' Ms Gorgeous tells Subhash K Jha.

'The very idea that Kamal Haasan would retire from active acting for active politics is as ridiculous as to suggest that Lataji would give up singing to weave handloom dupattas for destitute girls in Muzaffarpur,' declares Subhash K Jha.

Sreehari Nair introduces you to three promising movies coming up.

2018 will be Varun's weakest year at the box office, notes Subhash K Jha.

Politics, favouritism and poor taste in cinema have contributed to embarrassing choices for the Oscar race in the past.This little gem from India needs the love, emotional and financial support from the government as well as the Indian film industry, argues Aseem Chhabra.

Why do Hindi cinema superstars flounder in their fifties, asks Vanita Kohli-Khandekar.

While Pa Ranjith proved yet again to be the salt of the earth in his land mafia film, Zoya Akhtar took a haphazard route to make something that was hardly rooted in Asia's biggest slum, feels J Jagannath.

'Irrfan transcended celluloid and gave us a taste of his humility and humanity,' observes Sukanya Verma.

...The story is boring, feels Aarush S.

Khandaani Shafakhana neither enlightens nor entertains, feels Sukanya Verma.

Here's your chance to review Khandaani Shafakhana!

Khandaani Shafakhana is a original and socially important subject which had the best potential but unfortunately ends up leaving less emotional impact.

Pranaam leaves you even more disappointed, writes Karan Sanjay Shah.

There's no head or tails to anything that happens in Saaho, says Sukanya Verma.

Baadshah Pehlwaan comes out as a film is not only as a thorough entertainer but also a thought-provoker, feels Prasanna D Zore.

Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas squanders whatever potential it had, feels Sukanya Verma.

Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy is a larger-than-life spectacle that deserves a theatre viewing, feels Karan Sanjay Shah.

Laal Kaptaan deserves a watch just for Saif's spunk, raves Prasanna D Zore.

'I felt a constant gag in my throat, and emerged from the movie somewhat mugged,' confesses Sreehari Nair.

Rani Mukerji's presence makes you watch the trailer till the end and wait for the movie's release on December 13, says Namrata Thakker.

Nothing can salvage the Marjaavaan mess, declares Sukanya Verma.

'Yeh Saali Aashiqui held my attention purely for audacity,' says Sukanya Verma.

The Chhapaak trailer could have been a dark and depressing tale of a girl disfigured by a vicious attack but fortunately, it isn't, feels Moumita Bhattacharjee.

Mardaani 2 works best and better than its predecessor when it stays true to its slick catch-me-if-you-can potential, feels Sukanya Verma.

Bhangra Paa Le has a fairly ambitious if unoriginal premise let down by staid vision, spiritless writing, middling choreography and music, feels Sukanya Verma.

For those who like drama to have a good mix of thrills, action, fiction and realism, Rangbaaz Phir Se is an entertaining watch, feels Joginder Tuteja.

'Though it's a story of inspiration, Meghna Gulzar's Chhapaak is not the kind of film you walk out feeling entertained or ecstatic about,' says Sukanya Verma.

Jawaani Jaaneman, releasing on February 7, looks like a winner at the box office.

Chhapaak is a must watch for the script, the acting performances, and Meghna Gulzar's commitment to telling a real story, feels Rediff reader Sid.

Saif is a hoot, applauds Sukanya Verma.

'A poorly conceived reboot that's overlong, overdramatic and overdone, Love Aaj Kal simply cannot differentiate between pyaar and parody,' says Sukanya Verma.

<em>Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan</em> is not so much a homosexual romance as it is an exuberant appeal imploring conservative Indian parents to accept and respect their children's choices, gay or straight, notes Sukanya Verma.

Thappad aspires to be Arth-worthy. Unfortunately, it doesn't make the cut, feels Rediff reader Sumeet Nadkarni.

Kaamyaab makes you feel sad about the condition of character actors in the movies, but it won't hold you for too long, says Moumita Bhattacharjee.

Baaghi 3 is a senseless beast of a movie that solely exists to rupture the screen in images of broken, blasting, blaring men or machines flying mid-air and slow motion, feels Sukanya Verma.

Director Ahmed Khan could not do justice to the story. And this is the biggest weakness of the film, feels Deepak Mishra.
