It was a forgettable weekend for Bollywood as the two new releases -- 120 Bahadur and Mastiii 4 -- failed to get audiences.

Tanaav Season 2 is like any other espionage thriller with twists and a lot of tense and thrilling moments. What makes it interesting is that unlike season 1, this time, the plot unravels quickly without getting boring, observes Namrata Thakker.
The same bunch of people, doing the same things does not make for a satisfying sequel; the added subplots are hastily tacked on, and make no difference to the flow of the series.
Lal Salaam is not a movie A Ganesh Nadar would recommend.
Raat Jawaan Hai is funny, sometimes intense, but most importantly it's so relatable, recommends Namrata Thakker.
A lot of time is spent on giving us the background of the story and establishing the characters but the film is named Kalki and the man is not even born, notes A Ganesh Nadar.
Waack Girls, that captures the moods of Kolkata, follows an oft-used template. So there's not much novelty to look for in the plot, but the actors are excellent, applauds Deepa Gahlot.
Sector 36 goes for the gruesomeness and shock; watching it needs a tough heart or a quick averting of the eyes, warns Deepa Gahlot.
The Delhi high court on Thursday refused to entertain a public interest litigation seeking a stay on the release of the Bollywood movie The Taj Story, scheduled to hit the screens on Friday.
Riteish Deshmukh makes this medical drama watchable! exclaims Namrata Thakker.
The chemistry between the motley bunch of actors works in fits and starts but Akshay Kumar's gift of the gab, Taapsee's bumbling comedienne and Fardeen Khan's dry wit come out tops, notes Sukanya Verma.
120 Bahadur is not just a war movie. It is a tribute, a history lesson, and an emotional journey into the heart of military courage, states Lt Gen Devendra Pratap Pandey, Retd.
You will appreciate the Mammootty of this movie better if you do not take the servile reviews to heart, for this is a grand, broad, almost proudly comic performance, assures Sreehari Nair.
Nishanchi actor Aaishvary Thackeray has signed up to play one of the leads in Yash Raj's new film, directed by Ali Abbas Zafar.
Sharmajee Ki Beti's airy-fairy approach doesn't quite convince. It's like the women are all angels readily accepting any change or transgression while the men are either super supportive or super schmucks, notes Sukanya Verma.
The Hindi dubbed (badly) version of the Tamil hit Aranmanai is out, and it turns out to be lengthy, noisy and mostly tedious, observes Deepa Gahlot.
Singham Again is action heavy, so its appeal is limited to fans of the genre, observes Deepa Gahlot.
Rautu Ka Raaz is a dragged-out slow burner of a film that just fails to ignite, sighs Mayur Sanap.
Vedaa is realistic but also has the kind of mainstream elements and action sequences that make a film gripping, observes Deepa Gahlot.
Vinay Pathak, Divyenndu Sharma and Kusha Kapila are comfortable enough in their comic skins to play their parts with ease, observes Deepa Gahlot.
The action entertainer Marco is a well shot, gnarly bloodfest that packs some lackluster thrills, notes Arjun Menon.
Devara's self-appointed guardian of the sea unleashing violence as a means to end violence is purely Junior NTR fan-tasy, observes Sukanya Verma.
If there is any actor who emerges from this wreck with his talent unscathed, it is Vijay Raaz, observes Deepa Gahlot.

Six episodes are not enough, applauds Deepa Gahlot.
If a show about Gujaratis or Indians in the US had to be made, it could have been more authentic, sighs Deepa Gahlot.
Starring Kunal Nayyar, Christmas Karma is a present day take on Charles Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol, with its three ghosts played by Eva Longoria, Billy Porter and Boy George.
'Winning awards, everything, I don't think you can plan all these things. You don't go out there wanting to make a film saying, 'this film will win an award'. You can't do art with that intent.'
This is a film that should appear on every year-end 'Best of' list, recommends Mayur Sanap.
Divya Khossla does not have the magnetism to carry a film by herself. If it weren't for Anil Kapoor playing his part with far more gusto than required, Savi would have been tough to sit through, points out Deepa Gehlot.
If Singham was a biryani, with all the flavours coming together seamlessly, Singham Again is a desi thaali, full of scrumptious dishes, but a tad in excess, discovers Sonil Dedhia who watched the film in New Zealand.
Despite its horror movie momentum, what draws us to Aditya Sarpotdar's narrative is Bittu's homely universe and sweet struggle to confess his feelings to Bela, not Munjya's malevolent antics.
Kanguva is a mishmash of conceptually strong set pieces that feels bloated, as the central scaffolding holding together the core themes of love that heals over time and eternity, feels like an afterthought, observes Arjun Menon.
If approached with minimal expectations, Sikandar Ka Muqaddar offers enough suspense to justify an OTT viewing, observes Sonil Dedhia.
Govinda has been admitted to the CritiCare hospital in Juhu, northwest Mumbai, after he fainted at home around midnight, his legal advisor and friend Lalit Bindal said.
When it gets to its silly climax where the dots are finally joined, you can't help but see how cheap these thrills are, sighs Mayur Sanap.
