Wondering what to watch this weekend? Our contributor Shloka recommends Jawaani Jaaneman and Maska.
★★★½

A quiet, unassuming, undramatic piece that leaves you thinking, asking, evaluating, and ultimately, looking at life in a wholly altered way.
★★★½

Sparkling wit and an important core message, keeps you invested in Shubh Mangal Zyaada Saavdhan even if it doesn’t fully come out of its comfort zone as much as one would have hoped.
★★★½

Loaded with enough personality, humour and visuals, even if the end result isn’t entirely satisfying.
★★★

An enjoyable and wholesome family entertainer with breathtaking animation, ably aided by a quick-witted script and actors who have fun with the material.
★★★½

A sh-t show from start to finish that is so irredeemably bad, it will put you off going to the movies for weeks.
★

Deliciously dark and twisted in parts, with edgy characters, but too many conveniences and loopholes in its plot and contrived inconsistencies prevent it from being the gem it could have been.
★★½ 

A film that’s stylishly stupid, glamorously dumb and beautifully foolish and yet, somehow, works!
★★★½

An overlong, over-cooked, often cumbersome slog that occasionally fires up because of its glorious leads, but eventually peters out.
★★½

Sassy, spontaneous, sexy and stylish PC & Bebo were at their sizzling best in the finale of Koffee With Karan.

Madhuri Dixit and Anil Kapoor have fun with their parts, but that’s nowhere near enough to salvage this banal, tacky and lacklustre comedy.
★★ 

Zoya Akhtar’s film about a slum-dwelling youngster with big dreams who refuses to let his relatively bleak circumstances cripple the longings of his heart, is a triumph, thanks to a ‘rap’turous performance by Ranveer Singh.
★★★★½ 

An incredibly important film especially in an industry where depiction of same-sex couples on screen has almost unanimously been ridiculed and/or labelled as ‘artsy’.
★★★

Definitely a good tribute to Lakshmibai, but it sure as hell, could have been better, writes columnist An Josh.
★★★ 

The season opener ticked the prerequisite boxes and both Deepika and Alia individually were affable, but there was nothing really ground-breaking here that hasn’t been witnessed before.

An inaccurate but engrossing film for the most part, with show-stopping turns by Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal.
★★★

Do yourself a favour and keep well away from this complete and utter turd.
★

J.A. Bayona ticks off the pre-requisite disaster movie checkboxes with flair, and finally takes us off the island and into his comfort zone – gothic, claustrophobic horror – and the end result proves to be thoroughly entertaining.
★★★

Four spunky ladies all of whom are a riot in a breezy first act and deserved a climax like Thelma & Louise – but instead get saddled in a script that can’t quite decide what it wants to be.
★★★

An engaging, intelligent and well intentioned thriller with yet another riveting performance by Bhatt.
★★★★

A sombre, sullen, albeit spectacular, action-packed piece of filmmaking.
★★★★

An uneven yet welcome return to Wakanda.
★★★

Has the distinction of being that well intended venture that entertains and educates in equal measures, and one that dares to think outside the box and attempts to challenge an archaic mindset.
★★★

Keeps you invested and in awe of its beauty despite its many inconsistencies, with a show-stopping turn by Ranveer Singh, who gives us an antagonist for the ages. I'm not sure why they just didn't call it Khilji.
★★★½ 

A gem of a film with a sparkling turn by Vidya Balan.
★★★★

A blunder on almost every count that’s occasionally watchable and pretty to look at, but sadly, very little else.
★★

Forgettable, but an entirely entertaining one time watch.
★★★

Taika Waititi goes almost entirely for laughs, kicks and wit and by and large succeeds in creating a cheerful romp that expectedly looks dazzling and is as fun as it looks.
★★★★

An eminently likeable feature film, with a well crafted story that's peppered with wit and depth and one that will inevitably appeal to a universal audience.
★★★★

Despite its ridiculous and often offensive content, Varun makes 2.0 almost palpable.
★★★
