Secret Superstar

Although the storyline is pretty much fully revealed in the trailer, it still makes a good watch. The acting is good from all participants, except perhaps Aamir's himself but then his characterization is such. The locations are nicely chosen and the innocent romance of the high schoolers is palpable. As, also, is the darker side of domestic violence in middle class families.

Welcome Back

Seeing the sequel after almost a decade! It is almost as good and almost as bad as the prequel! Watch it for total time-pass.

Vivah

A very pleasant movie all-round. It consists of all goody goody characters talking goody goody things while the narration goes from an engagement to wedding. No adultish scenes, no body-showing - just pure, unadulterated romantic story of the yesteryears with nice melodious songs. Only one mildly negative character & one untoward incident and that too turns positive at the end - so, all in all, a very pleasing movie. Excellent casting and pleasing setting too! Watch it to feel good!!

Pad Man

Another true story (or a story inspired by true events). The story itself is great to watch this movie - irrespective of how it is made, so go for it! Nevertheless, Akshay Kumar is the key entity in this movie and he takes it on his shoulders from beginning to finish. Sonam Kapoor's supporting role is good too. Pretty neat and succinct direction, location/setting is ideal for rural India and pretty much rest of the casting looks newbie-ish who have all done a great job.
