'Star Trek - Into Darkness' review: The film won't bore you
Even if, like me, you weren't a fan of the Star Trek universe, or were mostly unfamiliar with its 40-year-old legacy, you'd have to admit that JJ Abrams' 2009 reboot was a fresh and accessible stand-alone sci-fi adventure.

'Gippi' review: Many of the film's better ideas are lost in execution
School can be a difficult place if you're overweight, awkward, not particularly bright, or clumsy on the sports field. Gurpreet Kaur, the 14-year-old protagonist of Gippi (Riya Vij), ticks all the boxes.

'Go Goa Gone' review: So much in this film is good until it all goes nowhere
Go Goa Gone has been advertised as India's first zom-com, or a comedy about zombies. The film, starring Kunal Khemu, Vir Das, and Anand Tiwari as three best friends stranded on an island infested with flesh-eating zombies, works like magic when directors Krishna DK and Raj Nidimoru focus on their three leads and the irreverent banter between them.

'Bombay Talkies' review: It's like a breath of fresh air
Two men shift nervously, seldom making eye contact, as they listen to a beggar girl at a railway station footbridge singing an old Lata Mangeshkar gem whose words seem to have particular significance in their unlikely situation.

'Shootout at Wadala' review: The bloodshed leaves you cold
A gangster runs into a police station, both his arms lopped off by a rival wielding a butcher's knife. Another goon is held down as his skull is pushed through an ice-crusher.

'The Host' review: At best it's unintentionally hilarious
When an alien enters the body of a nice teenage girl, her original spirit refuses to leave, her head now crowded with two voices that want different things, including two boys who aren't particularly fond of each other.

'The Croods' review: It's simplistic yet funny in generous doses
Set in prehistoric times, 'The Croods' is what you might describe as "Ice Age with Humans". The film's message - that being adaptable is the key to one's survival - is conveyed through the story of a close-knit family of cave dwellers.

'Ek Thi Daayan' review: It leaves you wanting more in the end
A very different beast from 'Makdee', his charming directorial debut from eleven years ago, 'Ek Thi Daayan', co-written and co-produced by Vishal Bhardwaj, sees the filmmaker revisit the mythology of witches once again. But where 'Makdee' was an old-fashioned fable about a village witch who supposedly turned humans into animals, 'Daayan', set in the modern, urban world, is intended as an eerie supernatural thriller.

'The Place Beyond The Pines': Watch it for Gosling's performance
A searing honesty permeated every frame of director Derek Cianfrance's 'Blue Valentine', about the decaying marriage of a young couple, played by Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams. His latest film, 'The Place Beyond The Pines', is a more sprawling tale that follows two fathers and two sons over many years.

'Oblivion': What stays with you is the gorgeous imagery
The new Tom Cruise starrer 'Oblivion' borrows from so many films, you could start a game of "spot-the-reference" the moment you settle into your seat. There's a little 'Total Recall', 'Minority Report', 'Moon' and 'Wall-E' in there, while the mid-air action scenes have a distinct 'Top Gun' feel to them.

'Nautanki Saala': Like the title suggests, it's all empty theatrics
'Nautanki Saala', directed by Rohan Sippy, hinges on the wobbly notion that if you save someone's life, he becomes your responsibility.

Now Showing: Masand reviews 'Chashme Baddoor', 'The Call'
Like a battering ram, David Dhawan's puerile and frenzied remake, 'Chashme Baddoor', shatters and mauls your memories of Sai Paranjpye's charming original. The new 'Chashme Baddoor' does no justice to 1981 film, but it's not unwatchable either. 'The Call', starring Halle Berry, gets straight down to business. It's a promising thriller that hits the ground running, never wasting any time setting up its intriguing premise.
