Aladin
Certainly the inspiration is interesting but the execution tends to become formulaic.

Jail
Compare Jail to Madhur Bhandarkar’s earlier works and you would be disappointed to a degree. Nevertheless, compare it to many other mediocre movies of today and Jail is still a step ahead.

Tum Mile
Watch it as a disaster flick and you will find it disastrous. Watch it as a love story and you will love it.

De Dana Dan
...a quickie flick which is hastily written, rapidly filmed, has swift storytelling and speeding characters giving you no time to breathe, gasp, feel, absorb react or relate.

Paa
At times you should not be yourself to show the world what you really are. Amitabh Bachchan does just that and shows the world he is the Paa of performing arts.

Paa
The moral of the film is that one shouldn’t judge a person by their looks. Going by that, however cool this candyfloss flick might appear, it’s still shallow on content.

...if you don’t relate to a predictable plotline like this, rather say no to the film.

Chance Pe Dance
Ken Ghosh’s dance-drama takes no chance in experimenting with storytelling style and ends up being an extended version of the music videos that he used to direct before making feature films.

Rann
Rather than a story designed around the media world, Rann is more of the clichéd corrupt politician chronicle (that Bollywood has been narrating since ages) set on the backdrop of the broadcasting business.

My Name is Khan
Karan Johar succeeds is in making Shah Rukh Khan underplay his character like never before and mellow down the human drama with as much positivity that a film with a backdrop as intense as 9/11 ends up being feel-good with an optimistic outlook.

...seems to be as manipulative as photo-shopped images. It simply fails to click.

Toh Baat Pakki
Though not path-breaking in any terms, the flavour of the film is a delectable balance between candyfloss and masala.

Karthik Calling Karthik
...a film calling in all admirers and connoisseurs of intelligent thrillers. Amidst several missed calls, blank calls, wrong numbers and cross connections (read tacky thrillers), this call from a new number (read debutante director Vijay Lalwani) is worth attending.

Thanks Maa
The film works largely for the amount of authenticity that director Irfan Kamal imparts to every frame of the film.

Road, Movie
The pacing is sluggish for a road flick and Dev Benegal’s screenplay is bland, lacking basic level drama.

Right Yaaa Wrong
The supposed suspense in the first half is as lame as its protagonist with a perceptible double-cross at the interval point. The identity of the killer is revealed to the viewer soon after and with nothing left to your imagination, the genre changes from suspense-thriller to courtroom-drama.

Right Yaaa Wrong
With a perfectly predictable plotline, if a film still keeps you riveted through its runtime, you know there’s something earnestly right about it.
