Shagird
If only Shagird was a little more polished in all departments, it could very well claim to be the desi version of The Departed.

Luv Ka The End
...has clear aspirations of fitting into a niche that its makers have identified, and within this framework it is a product that's been well thought and executed. How it measures up as an original work of cinema is of course an altogether different question.

I Am
...while the director's points of view are unquestionably on the button and every performance worthy of mention, the film itself lacks finishing on a script and execution level making it tedious in parts.

Chalo Dilli
...a reasonable movie to watch, but a minus half star for filching the story.

Shor In The City
Three stories, eleven days, myriad layers, believable characters, fine performances, spirited direction, taut script, momentary explosions of originality.

Dum Maaro Dum
...tidily brackets itself into a new-age masala film that engages you at a superficial level for a while, but loses its vigour somewhere along the way.

Thank You
This film is bad by even Anees Bazmee's standards. This is personal regression in a string of regressive movies.

Game
...a rocky, unconvincing gamble for such a massive canvas. The culprit is a usual suspect: the screenplay.

Yeh Faasley
...never comes together as a film. None of the characters or their stories really grip you, the music is forced and mediocre, while most of the proceedings look staged, even as the fuzzy story loops around itself.

Satrangee Parachute
...appears like a set-up story with a goody two shoes message at the end.

Tanu Weds Manu

Kaccha Limboo
...a film that is strictly slice-of-life with extremely weak plot points, falls well short of the target.

7 Khoon Maaf
...high on style but doesn't quite come together in the end. Still, for the chutzpah on display, it's worth considering it.

Utt Pataang
...an unfortunate title for a film that ends up being just that, a lot of half-baked gibberish and faltu ka utt pataang.

Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji
..has its funny moments it never really gets laugh out loud, with the comic timing often missing.

Hostel
...gets a very flat, grim, unidimensional treatment from the director, which ends up making the story more morbidly filmy than dramatically real.

Dhobi Ghat
...strictly remains an art house film with limited appeal, and its subtitle, Mumbai Diaries, captures the genre of the film correctly.

Yamla Pagla Deewana
...the potboiler film has enough one-liners, item songs and action sequences to keep you kind of entertained, in a drunk, bustling Punjabi manner.

No One Killed Jessica
Sure, it's a well written, dramatic re-telling, but somewhere it becomes a bit filmy and flamboyant, which is a pity.

Toonpur Ka Superrhero
...gets its animation almost right, and the interweaving of live action is quite seamless and well executed. The film falters in its storytelling, which is hackneyed.

Isi Life Mein

Tees Maar Khan
