Hamari Adhuri Kahani is a film where three fine actors all play idiots, says Raja Sen.
This is a brisk, enjoyable film, and while the climactic race is somewhat marred by an overdose of melodrama - Gupte's far better at subtler strokes than the few broad ones he tries - it is rare to find a Hindi film hero more deserving of our cheers than Arjun. That unfortunate hint of Bhaag Milkha Bhaag in the final race doesn't alter the fact that this is an earnest, important and evocative film.
Kapoor And Sons is a film that works in small doses, writes Raja Sen.

If I were to review it in one word, I'd say Ek Villain is... Unnecessary, writes Raja Sen.
Kangana Ranaut is gobstoppingly spectacular. The actress has always flirted with the unfamiliar but here -- at her most real, at her most gorgeously guileless -- she absolutely shines and the film stands back and lets her rule.
'The film doesn't challenge our perception as much as amiably pat it into place, yet -- thanks largely to a remarkably committed performance by the leading man -- the film scores like a champ,' feels Raja Sen.
Hunterrr is a deeply problematic film, and fails rather miserably, warns Raja Sen.
'This is a solid, terse film that makes its points in mainstream fashion with an appropriate lack of subtlety.' 'Pink is a barnstormer -- and it doesn't pull its punches.'
Dum Laga Ke Haisha is so simple that it never gives you a single moment of unpredictability, writes Raja Sen.
In this era of oversharing, retweeting and everything-instagramming, the star is not any kind of enigmatic figure of mystery; s/he is one of us, says Raja Sen.
A look at all the times Goa played Bollywood's favourite getaway on screen.
Tasher Desh is staggeringly-original film, writes Raja Sen.
Raja Sen makes his predictions for Hollywood's first awards show of the year.
Suicide Squad is less an actual movie and more an assemblage of moments, moments mostly to do with popular music appropriated around shots of spectacle, with every single scene trying to hit a crescendo of cool and the film, thus, failing to find any peaks at all, says Raja Sen.

PK is no satire -- it's a bit too toothless for that -- but it is a rollicking mainstream entertainer with ambition to evoke some introspection, says Raja Sen.
Crimson Peak is not for everyone, but the mood is set very early on, says Raja Sen.

Sukanya Verma lists significant memories in our 1996 recap.
Bajrangi Bhaijaan is an overearnest, oversimplified, preposterously sweet and frequently schlocky film, which works because of a finely picked supporting cast, some sharp lines of dialogue and, most crucially, because of its overall heart, writes Raja Sen.
In the world of harebrained Bhai films, Kick is the best made and the most fun, says Raja Sen.
Nobody makes denial look this fabulous, says Raja Sen after watching Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel.
In this film the Ka -- as in the Ka-poors, who act in the film -- are okay, it is the Ki -- as in Bal-Ki, who directs it -- who stumbles rather badly, feels Raja Sen.
Inside Out is arguably Pixar's finest film, says Raja Sen.
'Pratchett's work mocked the very idea of literary limitations, going from police procedural in one book to Christmas adventure in the next, from vampires to football, from the birth of motion pictures to the examining of religion itself.'
While hybrids, CNG and biofuels found favour in 2018 among many carmakers including Maruti Suzuki, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and Honda, others such as M&M and Tata Motors have shown full faith in electric vehicles.
Khoobsurat offers up the expected -- only it does so with a smirk, says Raja Sen.
The Revenant is a devastating, visually jawdropping film that, for all its sins of tedium, makes up with scale what it lacks in artfulness, feels Raja Sen.
Sonam Kapoor is exceptional as Neerja Bhanot, says Raja Sen.
Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! stumbles considerably because of its simplistic plotting, says Raja Sen.
Yudh has really rubbished my expectations, rants Raja Sen.
The fact that a woman-centric film can challenge those increasingly inane hero-vehicles is certainly cause for celebration, raves Raja Sen.
The best film won. Until it didn't. Or, depending on where you stand, vice versa.
NH10 is a scary, compelling ride featuring an actress who surpasses herself, says Raja Sen.
