  • Jail

    If there is anything unpredictable in this extremely familiar film, it is how non-sensational it is.

  • Rann

    On the minus side, Rann’s story is so simplistic that it boils down the entire television news sector into two rival channels. The movie is as low on authenticity as it is on histrionics

  • Ishqiya

    ...the best thing about Ishqiya is how grown-up it is...Ishqiya’s humour and sensuality is for adults who are not afraid to confront the depths of their emotions.

  • Paathshaala

    The disconnectedness between scenes suggests that a big chunk of Paathshaala is lying on the floor of an editing suite somewhere.

  • Paathshaala

    Character development is sacrificed for Hallmark moments between the leads, which are just about the only entertaining bits in the film.

  • Red Alert

    In attempting to explore the issues facing the Kashmiri people through the prism of a thriller, Dholakia misses the wood for the chinars.

  • Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai

    ...treats suicide and people who want to kill themselves as one big joke. The movie could have been a black comedy, but the writing simply isn’t sharp enough. There is no character development worth its name.

  • Robot

    ...Guzaarish points to a limited imagination that is so much in thrall to European costume dramas it lacks a soul of its own.

  • Rakht Charitra 2

    Mishra wants to be cool and quirky, like Guy Ritchie, but to paraphrase New Yorker critic Anthony Lane, he forgets the first rule of cool: don’t try to be.

  • Rakht Charitra 2

    ...has everything you can expect from a Bhandarkar production: tacky production values, barbs at the wealthy and Westernised, caricatured gay characters.
