Bhaiaji Superhittt
For its entire obsession with ambiance, Game is, at heart, a frustratingly old-fashioned murder mystery.

Bhaiaji Superhittt
It's not a flawless film that will change the course of cinema but a relevant one...

Bhaiaji Superhittt
...while Dabangg offered a precise volume of coolness and chutzpah, Ready went overboard with the shtick. Bodyguard, meanwhile, is on the underwhelming side.

That Girl in Yellow Boots
...is another fine specimen of Anurag Kashyap's style of filmmaking.

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan
...a pretty ordinary effort. It's the kind of movie where everyone looks catalogue cool and beams with enthusiasm to make the going-ons appear droll and exciting.

Force
For a genre that works purely on moronic logic and one-note screenplay, Force never had much to accomplish in the first place. But its complete lack of individuality or snap makes it a boring, banal, blah and bleak experience.

Force
Dhawan sponges a bunch of comedies from his own stable and outside to rustle up a series of misadventures that are dumb, dated and dreary.

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu
...is neither on the epic side like Dharma Productions' great, grand ancestors nor weighed down by an overload of pop culture references of those that define the genre. Instead the confection's appeal lies in its underplayed wit, quirky within plausibility protagonists and a refreshing disregard for conventional conclusions.

Vicky Donor
...loses some of its sperm, er steam, in the second half when the sentimental, ethical reasoning creeps in, it feels a bit avoidable and protracted. Except by then you have begun to care too much for these characters and its unassuming vibe to create a ruckus.

Chhota Bheem And The Curse Of Damyaan
If the cheering laughs of Kangna and other kids in the theatre are any indication, your little one is going to lap it up.

Teri Meri Kahaani
Kohli dilutes the chance of a wholesome, affable entertainer down by his predilection for risk-free conclusions.

Jism - 2
It's like Sunny Leone's assets are the script, screenplay and sole purpose of Jism 2 and everyone outside that -- Hooda, Singh, Zakaria or the audience -- is obliged to wag their tongues with thrill. Well, duh, for thinking otherwise.

OMG Oh My God!
...a brave and absorbing blend of satire, fable and fantasy that brings our attention to the misuse and commercialisation of religion.

Student Of The Year
...through constant influx of escapism and pomp with magnificently choreographed songs, razzle dazzle of colours/style/design, appropriate dosage of humour and ritzy production values that distracts one from Student of the Year's brash celebration of superficiality and obvious lack of depth.

Chakravyuh
...is nothing more than an average action flick in the garb of relevant cinema where socio-politico turmoil is nothing more than a prop and gun-toting militants in uniforms and bandanas hollering 'Lal Salaam' fill up the frames.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan
...is nothing more than lovely fluff that could have been shorter, snappier but is definitely worth watching once for the man whose name appears against the bright blue sky Mr Yash Chopra.

Inkaar
...what could have been an engrossing take on modern-day relationships in a frantic, workaholic culture is single-handedly destroyed by warped publicity and ridiculous conclusions.

Still, there’s no denying Nambiar’s promise as an adventurous, aesthetically-sound filmmaker but his weak spot remains the same. His eye for dynamic visuals is yet to find its match in stories that speak.

Listen... Amaya
Its real strength doesn’t come from production values but two of the most natural actors of Hindi cinema (Farookh Shaikh, Deepti Naval) and a remarkable young woman (Swara Bhaskar).

Special 26
what’s truly Special about this Chabbis is to see two such different actors, one reliably awesome and the other getting out of his comfort zone of mindless money-spinners to collaborate and credit a script that gives them something concrete and equivalent to work on.
