  • Bbuddah...Hoga Terra Baap

    ...these gents -- Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh, Javed Jaffery (and Ashish. Of course) -- have had to do the kind of things for a living, endure a sort of public embarrassment for entertainment’s sake, they should be entitled to a gallantry award. No less. So should their audience.

  • Kucch Luv Jaisaa

    The screenplay, an excellent effort at genuine Indian dick-lit writing, still rings true, in several parts. The solid material isn't however contained enough to make for a tight film.

  • Shagird

    The script may still have seemed quite striking on paper to some. The filmmaker's just never sure when he's diving deep into realism, and when he's completely frikin' stretchin' it.

  • Haunted

    This is "India's first stereoscopic 3D film", ideally made for audiences that in business lingo are called 'B' and 'C' centres. Haunted evidently wants to be the Wanted for the same crowd.

  • Luv Ka The End

    This is just an XL sheet movie from a supposed docket that defines youth as some condescending, amorphous term from marketing alone. The filmmakers are desperately trying to look in from the distant outside.

  • Chalo Dilli

    Clearly, the director's picked up strongly engaging conflicts. It should also be as noted achievement for online social networks that, along with professional producers, the filmmaker found 400 unknown investors from across 45 cities of the world to back this vision.

  • F.A.L.T.U

    Frat-boy, crass fun is a legit Hollywood genre. The unlikely issue with Faltu is it isn't faltu enough. It unleashes a lengthy manifesto for educational reforms instead.

  • F.A.L.T.U

    Every film needn't merit a review. Some deserve little reports addressed to loved ones alone; just so they know you're fine, and that you really did survive the movie.

  • F.A.L.T.U

    ...it’s still not the rom-com you saw last weekend, and certainly not the one you’ve been watching for years. The difference? It’s still more real, and the nuances bear an inspired writer’s imagination.
