Kashmakash
...might have worked better had it simply been subtitled and not dubbed. And even though it is a little long and laboured there are flashes of poignancy that may just stay with you long after the last reels have rolled.

...is definitely worth watching. Prawal Raman has a steady and non compromising hold over suspense. And there is enough for you to work out bit by bit, long after you have left the movie hall.

Shagird
The film entertains you but it never quite elevates itself beyond the status of a regular masala film.

Stanley Ka Dabba
Something about the triumph of the spirit. This is a film that will make you smile.

Haunted
Horror films can either be bloodcurdling or outrageously funny. Haunted is funny. Period.

Luv Ka The End
If you fall between the 16-20 years age bracket then LKTH is not a movie that you'd hate. However, if you're older than that. I'm not sure if you'd feel the same.

Chalo Dilli
...an okey dokey attempt. With occasional flashes of decent writing and storytelling. But that's about it.

Teen Thay Bhai
It may not go down well with those who crave sophistication and élan, but if madcap movies are you’re thing this is almost as fun as The Hangover.

Thank You
...is everything that's wrong with Hindi cinema. It takes the audience for granted. Silly jokes, vague storyline and performances that deserve rotten tomatoes...

Satrangee Parachute
The film suffers from a contrived script and a badly etched screenplay.

Tanu Weds Manu
...this could have been a real surprise package but sadly it weighs down under the antics of the female lead and lack of coherent vision from the filmmaker.

7 Khoon Maaf
...where the film could have been deliciously dark, mad and off the rails, it ends up being just a disappointing above average weekend watch. Our hopes for a masterpiece of a film have just been done to death. Pity.

Patiala House
...at the end of it, the film serves up enough happiness and drama to warm the cockles of your heart.

Yeh Saali Zindagi
There is a lot of quirkiness in the film and a dark wry humour. But while it has some largely interesting moments, YSZ is let down by its need to overstate itself. The narrative is bursting at its seams.

Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji
The story is stilted, the dialogue is cringe worthy and the humour is listless.

Dhobi Ghat
...it's a moody painting that will entice you to linger and stare and stay with you forever. Either ways it's made of the stuff that makes life what it is. Down to the last intriguing detail.

Yamla Pagla Deewana
It's baffling how a film can manage to give you a cerebrally painful first half and then dish out a totally slapstick, but really funny second half.

Turning 30
This is one film that's screaming itself hoarse, lying on the floor throwing a tantrum saying, "I'm cool chick flick. Can't you see? I'm a cool, cool chick flick." Therein lies the tragedy.

No One Killed Jessica
You can't miss the film's intention and it puts that forward with a lot of temerity.

Isi Life Mein
Conflict of any kind; emotional, romantic or even fundamental is absent completely. There's so much of pristine goodness that it becomes unreal, almost surreal.

Tees Maar Khan
...a relentless assault on your senses. Is this really the Farah Khan who gave us the smart and funny Main Hoon Na and Om Shanti Om?

Mirch
...a good showcase for the yet undermined talent of its lead actors. While the women are on top, the movie is a little ho hum like missionary.

Band Baaja Baaraat
Rarely do you find a love story that is so full of life and bouncing off the walls. Band Baaja Baarat is one of the freshest cleverly written films in recent times.

No Problem
Sequentially threaded by crass and mindless humour, No Problem is a waste of a comedy.

Rakht Charitra 2
...is a decent watch thanks to Suriya's performance and the build up to its climax.
