Jail
...Jail is well-made, but the subject itself is just too depressing and dreary to serve as entertainment, no matter how hard everyone tries.

Aao Wish Karein
...it’s the dull screenplay once again. Even though it is fully inspired by Big, Aao Wish Karein manages to be overstretched and boring.

De Dana Dan
...extra loud and grating experience, with everyone trying a bit too hard at that same mish mash of sex, money marriage comedy garnished with boringly familiar ingredients.

Mumbai Mirror
...a slick and stylish film with many stars, fancy styling, big budget but little substance and very convoluted logic. Part of the film is in English, part of it is in algebra and the rest seems gobbledygook.

Hello Zindagi
...a terrible film, not worthy of anyone’s time or money. The storytelling is inconsistent and ludicrous, the performances range from ordinary to bad, while any sort of direction is painfully missing.
