10ml Love
The film makes up for all its limitations with a lot of fun and its crisp 90-minute length.

102 Not Out
Based on a Gujarati play of the same name, Umesh Shukla’s film is unable to leave its inherent theatricality behind. It gets unchanging in terms of the give and take between the duo and leaves the viewers static too. It stirs nothing within, leaving you unmoved.

2 States
It is a pretty decent translation that will work for fans of the book and those who haven’t read it but given the potential of the material, it falls a little short.

3 Idiots
...delivers an entertaining narrative that shifts gears between comic-book humour and heavy-duty drama with ease.

3 Storeys
Intrigue, trickery, unpredictability and a sting in the tail. Yet this compendium of stories refuses to fly.

7 Hours To Go
7 Hours To Go draws from films of the familiar genre but fails to do anything new with them.

A Flying Jatt
A clunky script, comic book flat characters and a wafer-thin plot are propped up by needless song-n-dance routines, juvenile SFX and innumerable fights and confrontations.

A Gentleman
It wants to be a plush action drama, but evidently lacks resources, so settles at being a haphazardly shot ambitious film.

Ab Tak Chhappan 2
Nana is as explosive as ever but the recycled script refuses to trigger any emotions.

ABCD - Any Body Can Dance - 2
Remo has invested his whole cinematic vocabulary on dance and is left with only ABCD when it comes to the emotional choreography.

Action Jackson
While most of it, especially the second half, is so deliciously bad that it is good, the first feels a little heavy and staid featuring what looks like leftover footage from R. Rajkumar, especially with a Shahid cameo.

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
...is the latest in the brand of cinema that isn’t so much as plot driven as it is focused on characters, relationships and interactions.

Agent Vinod
While the basics make sure that Agent Vinod is way better than run-of-the-mill Bollywood, our standards for Sriram Raghavan are sky high. This is a disappointment only because we expect a lot more from the guy who takes his time and dedicates himself completely to films.

Airlift
...would have been a better film without this nationalistic bluster but has a bigger potential at the box office now with the Republic Day just round the corner.

Aiyaary
What could have been an engaging tale of army corruption ends up a convoluted film with confusing narrative devices.

Aiyyaa
Wake up-um, makers... and smell the oothappam. This is not a plot-um that lends itself to be watched for this long-um.

Ajji
The only thing new here then is turning an arthritic grandmom into the avenging angel. Ajji is no more than Mom and Maatr at their most excessive; it just locates the same rape narrative at the other end of the social spectrum.

Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyun Aaata Hai?
The narrative meanders pointlessly, as a bizarre background score plays on noisily and the climax feels just as needlessly knotty. The film would have actually been better titled as Albert Pinto Ki Ajeeb Dastaan.

Alone
Bipasha Basu, however, has become the Bhai of the horror film genre, minus the box office appeal, of course. You can easily switch scenes between her films and nobody would even know. They all have Bipasha doing exactly the same thing.

Anaarkali Of Aarah

Missing the beginning, end and anything in the middle would then severely imperil what could be the most fun you’d have at the movies.

Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain
The subject could have been relatable to a wide Indian audience who are bound in an arranged marriage, but Mishra is neither convincingly awkward as a repentant husband nor staunchly belligerent as a patriarchal one.

Arjun Patiala

Article 15
Sinha lays the onus of the societal transformation on the privileged. They have to alter the lopsided canvas.
