  • Soundtrack

    It's endearing, playful and filled with laughter and banter. A heartwarming tale that makes you want to shed your cynicism and believe in love.

  • That Girl in Yellow Boots

    Mainstream cinema has a way of simplifying the most complex of issues, but in that simplicity, it also manages to touch a chord, reach out and even initiate debate. Prakash Jha fails to do any of that with Aarakshan.

  • Not A Love Story

    The tone is uniformally over-the-top—loud dialogue and acting, shrill jokes, dazzling colours, kitschy sets and costumes and stylised choreography.

  • Murder 2

    It could get very discomfiting and disconcerting for some, but for this reviewer it was a merry lark of a film, the most entertaining in 2011 thus far.

    There are films that're so bad they turn out to be quite good—all for poking fun at. But this one is impossibly bad.

    The movie grips you but gets plodding in the middle with its convoluted yet simplistic discussions.

  • Ready

    ...the entire dubbing effort detracts from the nuances and feel, making the conversations seem affected and halting. I'd have preferred to see the original Bangla version with Hindi subtitles.

  • Ready

    A delightful yet moving film on the trifle of an idea, but why must a film with children has to always come with a message attached?

  • Shagird

    Nana Patekar plays to the gallery and brings a smile to the audience's faces but the movie soon turns into gimmickry than fun.

  • Shagird

    Has something that most contemporary, uber-slick Bollywood flicks lack--quietude and calm. It's a world of thoughtful pauses than a furious pace.

  • F.A.L.T.U

    Gupta has the onerous task of telling a story (Jessica Lall murder case) which most of his viewers would already know. Nonetheless, he manages to keep the familiar quite engaging.

  • No Problem

    ...the characters, plot, gags, jokes, dialogues, just about nothing makes you smile, leave alone laugh. Besides, some significant scenes get uncomfortably racist and downright sexist.
