Guddu Rangeela
A thick plot that throws in surprises but ends the usual way – blah. An overwhelming sense of wanting to send a social message, even if understandable, doesn't help the cause.

ABCD - Any Body Can Dance - 2
Lots of great hip-hop moves. If you are looking for story, move on.

Hamari Adhuri Kahani
It takes the romance out of pain in love. Could there be a worse crime?

Dil Dhadakne Do
A few laugh out loud moments, a smile through and through. A few real problems looked at superficially. Some #FirstWorldProblem you smile a cynical smile at. Unfortunately, a little shallow, a little too flaky and preachy too.

Welcome 2 Karachi
All the witty one-liners are in the trailer. The rest of the film is tacky with a story line that's all over the place.

Tanu Weds Manu Returns
The music will not leave your head in a hurry, and the performances will wow you. But Tanu Weds Manu Returns isn't likely to remain with you as film, because of its rather ludicrous plot.

Bombay Velvet
The lyrical noir and violence are enjoyable while they last. Unfortunately, not beyond that though. Before long, the plot starts getting convoluted.

Gabbar Is Back
One of those films that delivers exactly what you expect only to leave you in a more “meh” mode than you started out with.

Margarita With A Straw
Touching upon a lot of intense topics, Margarita With A Straw gets you up and listening about all of them through a tale about a “different” person. But it doesn't necessarily get you engaged through and through.

Mr. X
At the end, I was a little surprised and a little disappointed. Given the dilemma and the conclusion thereof, the concept deserved better screenplay and writing.

Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!
A decent attempt at an authentic setting and intense plot distracts this thriller from thrilling you.

Hunterrr
Trailer covers all the novelty of the plot. The rest is a regular coming-of-age cum love story masked under the garb of a sex comedy. Neither very funny, nor insightful.

Badlapur
A well-made, well-performed revenge drama that makes you question your definitions of right and wrong, even if the story is unconvincing.

Roy
A romantic rumination trying to be sold as a thriller it is not. Interesting but not enough. Lots of philosophy but towards no tangible direction.

Shamitabh
A tribute to a baritone, Shamitabh serves well for the voice's fans. Unfortunately, stretches imagination and its length a tad much making it repetitive and tiring.

Dolly Ki Doli
A strange case of you being on the side of the wrong-doer. Entertaining, though only in bits.

Baby
While Baby has the usual trappings of being predictable in the larger picture, it grabs your attention and keeps it there, especially post-interval.

Ugly
The repulsion you feel towards Ugly is what makes it a good film. A thriller that makes you uncomfortable from within.

PK
Yet again, Rajkumar Hirani blends comedy with a social message and gets a point across. Even if the comedy doesn't work all that well, it is a film worth a watch for sure.

Action Jackson
145 minutes of super-stylish action. There is about 10 minutes worth of story somewhere in there. But, does that really matter? And does it count that it doesn't matter?

Ungli
Makes you feel empowered, even though you can see their solutions are way too simplistic.

Zid
A whodunnit that goes about in so many circles that you stop wondering about who did it.

Happy Ending
An urban romcom that tries to get a grapple on love. It is charming in its own way, but ultimately ends up having very little more than a regular romedy, as it likes to call itself.

Kill Dil
Plot that should've been done away with in the 70s - lingers on unimaginatively and bores.
