Love Hostel stays focused on the murky present and revelling in its increasingly dark outcome. Despite the reach of social media and technology, this isn't the cushy, liberal India of mainstream culture.

Where Laal Singh Chaddha succeeds most is heart, notes Sukanya Verma.

Rajkummar Rao is solid in what we've come to recognise as strictly Ayushmann Khurrana territory, observes Sukanya Verma.

Essentially a message movie, Jayeshbhai Jordaar masks its horror in humour to play out like an on-the-run road trip, observes Sukanya Verma.

Sara Ali Khan is definitely a chip of the old block and Bollywood. The abandon in her dance, the candour in her histrionics, a combination of the ada and attributes of Rekha and Madhuri Dixit all rolled in one, she is like an old soul in a contemporary body, applauds Sukanya Verma.
Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein is watchable for its able cast of reliable veterans and talented youngsters, notes Sukanya Verma.
