Great!!
If you are thinking this is a tearjerker movie or something and are giving this a miss, you are at loss. This is one of the best thrillers to come out of Bollywood in recent times. The narration is really tight most of the times. Brilliant acting by all people in the film. About Vidya, all I can say is if she wins the National Award for this year too, it'll be a deserving win. The director has made Kolkota almost a character in the film. He beautifully captures the myriad expressions of the City of Joy. Bonus points for portraying the Intelligence Bureau officers in a rationally realistic way. Btw, we might have seen some plot elements in certain Angelina Jolie films before, but never mind. Who makes entirely original stuff these days ;)

great movie with lots of patriotism!!! 5 youth in college made a change when a friends life was taken by the governments hands. they fight for whats right, and this is a must-see movie to get people to rise for their country and speak the truth! dont let the government control you, fight for whats right, because the government isnt always. great songs, like paathshala and rang de basanti...lots of life, great performance, and a lot of meaning behind it! definitely must see!

An armyman turned national award winning athlete turned Baghi
A born runner joins the army...then moves his mind to sports...why?? Because of the good diet there... :D Doing a biopic is a risky biz. But Tigmashu Dhulia, the way you did it, hats off man!! Brilliant!
Almost everything about Paan Singh Tomar is great...tight script, brilliant performances, the cinematography makes you want to visit the places it was shot at. But above all, a stellar performance by Irrfan Khan...he has proved once again that he is one of those fine actors who can pull off any role(literally) with ease. At first i feared how would a 45 guy suit the role of an athlete?? Amazed i was at his work. The film also puts focus on broader issues on how outlaws are made and not born that too because of the corrupt system and immoral society.

Few movies will leave a lasting impression on you..Life of Pi is one of those. Not even a single moment is dull, in fact the story is woven so tightly that you never realize that the script is so simple. It is beautifully directed and kudos to Ang Lee, not only was he able to capture the beauty of India, he was also able to get the best of the actors. My trust and faith in Ang Lee has gone up to the highest level after watching this movie.

Loved
This remarkable movie easily fulfilled and then exceeded all expectations. I've been waiting for this movie since Sam Jackson's character uttered those famous words after the first Iron Man film... Stark now knows he's not the only superhero in his world and it's as big a treat for our real world as it gets. Seeing the "Avenger Initiative" in action is as great as I would ever have hoped! Hell, who am I kidding, I've been waiting to see this movie all my life. Who would've thought years ago that ALL these characters could fit in to a film and all of them be done justice? It delivers greatness from scene one and has to be considered the best this genre has EVER produced. Truthfully, as good as some of the previous work has been from every studio, nothing else has come close. That's not hyperbole; I really think most will agree if they see it with an open mind. I loved this movie's depth, heart, humor, gravitas, action, performances, emotion and payoff. I honestly can't wait to see it again with the rest of the world later. Right now, I'm simply basking in the greatness I just witnessed!

Sonaly Sahay reviewed Don 2
People said that no-one could make a better Don than the man himself, Amitabh Bachchan. However, I would like to disagree. Shahrukh is the only actor of todays time that could ever make it better than the original. His style, charisma and witty remarks make it all the more appealing. Farhan Akhtar's superb directing made this film epic! There are no gaps, no over-the-top parts and surprisingly, no dancing.. Don and Roma's love/hate relationship is also great to watch and you can sense the sizzling chemistry between Shahrukh and Priyanka! I'm desperately waiting for a Don 3: The King Takes Over ;) 10/10 for sure. It would be an insult to compare these movies to other standard Bollywood movies, as Don 2 is - in my opinion - better than most, if not every, Hollywood action/thriller I've seen. Farhan, we're waiting :)

Sonaly Sahay reviewed Queen
Extremely good film.
To All the Bollywood fan's you should watch QUEEN not because it has a good story no it doesn't the plot has been used numerous times but the journey of Kangana from a shy obedient Rajouri Garden Delhi Girl to a confident open minded today's modern girl is quite awesome. The small moments the little subplots that define Kangana's character is brilliantly written and filmed. Bollywood often becomes predictable but this movie isn't, u ll never be able to guess that such subplots would appear. The dancing of drunk Kangana in front of police scene, the sex toy shop scene, the boob pressing scene there are many more. Kangana's acting is brilliant even the side characters have played their part perfectly. Amit Trivedi's Music as always is amazing it suits the movie there are brilliant songs within the movie which has not been promoted in trailers plus oh Gujariya and Hungama Hogaya would rock any party. Director Vikas Bahl does a brilliant job. Only part where they could have done better is cinematography it is average. This movie falls in the category of very few good women centric movies that Bollywood has created and you can count them on your fingertips.

Fantastic movie!! Great story plot. Shahrukh Khan gives a stellar performance in this movie about unrequited love and reincarnation. Amazing music, especially with a musical sequence that involves an array of fellow Bollywood actors and actresses! Great movie by Farah Khan. Absolutely love this movie!! Gotta see.
