Revolver Rani
...pulp fiction cocktail is a bit all over the place. Sometimes it’s genuinely funny and at other times it’s painfully arbitrary.

Bhoothnath Returns
Watch Bhoothnath Returns for the masterful performances by Parth, Boman Irani and Amitabh Bachchan. Mr Bachchan particularly shows you why he is still leagues ahead of any contemporary star, actor or performer.

Ankhon Dekhi
This might not be your average entertainer. You won’t be rolling in the aisles on the jokes. You won’t be clapping for the heroics. But you will feel a strange sense of content after watching this mature film.

Ragini MMS - 2
The total package – the songs, Sunny Leone erotica and the in-your-face scares – is good for an average horror flick. But there’s absolutely no sense to story or treatment.

Gunday
Six packs, bulging muscles, seductive dances – all the cinematic material required to make an audience friendly hit. What’s missing is a key eye for detail, a process of refinement, which they say turns coal into diamond.

One By Two
They used to serve a bowl of soup, one by two. Now they serve a bowl of cinematic goulash in the same portion. It’s inedible but nonetheless it’s being served at a multiplex near you.

Dhoom 3
There are songs, there’s action and there’s everything you would want to see in a big ticket movie. What’s missing is that something, which makes an Aamir Khan movie a cut above the rest.

Singh Saab The Great
...a mass entertainer. It’s a Sunny Deol vehicle; it’s fun albeit a bit jaded thanks to its director’s craft. But this larger-than-life hero still delivers a mean punch.

Gori Tere Pyaar Mein
You might even be cheeky and say this movie is a frivolous little romance with the idea of filmmaking. But the bottom line is that it works. And you don't need reasons to smile.

Ram-leela
...is an illogical love tale dressed up in opulence. A classic case of looks can be deceptive.

Satya 2
This film does no favours for the career of its maker or its young cast trying to find a footing in the industry. Making such movies should be considered a crime.

Phata Poster Nikhla Hero
...this movie just seems like a sorry rehash of what the director has done before.

John Day
...a half-baked effort with sporadic moments of brilliance and leaves you with an aftertaste of what could have been.

Madras Cafe
It has decent action, gun fights and political drama. It entertains to a fair degree as well. The climax conjures up good steam too. But it never quite does enough to match up to its promise.

Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara
...when a 160 minute movie slackens in its pace, no amount of huffing and puffing from its leading man can save the day.

Chennai Express
This is neither trademark SRK material nor regular Rohit Shetty action-comedy. Chennai Express is like a ’80s Tamil potboiler reworked with a Hindi cast. It has a unique new flavour.

Watch this film to realise greatness doesn’t lie in winning but in picking up the gauntlet.

Raanjhanaa
Raanjhanaa’s narrative comes with minor flaws but they’re almost negligible in the wake of its emotional impact.

Yamla Pagla Deewana 2
If you watch this sketchy film, be advised. Do not, under any circumstance, take your brains along.
