Desi Kattey
A hollow attempt to mash-up crime and sports, Desi Kattey misses the target by a margin.

Creature
...a kind of kindergarten for the seekers of chills and frills that feeds on the appetite of the galleries for shock and sleaze.

Finding Fanny
It shows us the shapes unrequited love can take. It is this twitchy feeling that makes this screwball comedy special.

Mary Kom
Priyanka Chopra rises above a generic script, predictable treatment and an extremely manipulative narrative.

Raja Natwarlal
Ultimately, con films work if your suspension of disbelief is rewarded at the end. Here one returns with mixed feelings.

Identity Card
A stinging climax and the sprinkling of history of Kashmir in the end credits do make you sit up and take note but you have to be really generous to reach there.

Katiyabaaz
The directors have shown patience with the subjects. They seem to have forgotten the presence of camera around them and the result is electric.

Mardaani
Apart from the characterisation what really works for the film is the taut screenplay.

Singham Returns
This average masala cop film takes itself a little too seriously and wastes quite a bit of time brooding and singing.

Entertainment
After showing traces of wicked humour, it is reduced to nothing more than a rich source of PJs.

Kick
Bhaisexuals can watch it for kicks, the rest of us are going to come out feeling the pain.

Hate Story 2
It is a predictable story that pans out in a predictable fashion with the galleries treated to tastefully shot skin show.

Amit Sahni Ki List
The soapy treatment makes it worth a wait for the film’s television premiere.

Pizza
After a long time, we have a horror film that is not bursting with cheese or sleaze.

Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania
What’s commendable here is that Khaitan knows he is dealing with a film we all love and makes up for the borrowing by adding a lot of witty touches and subtly changing everything that doesn’t work today.

Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania
For a large part it comes across as a pleasant reworking, if not subverting, of the mother of all Hindi romantic comedies.

Humshakals
Trying to review or analyse this Sajid Khan film is like sending a child-crafted-claymated monkey for a brain scan and hoping to find proof of brain activity.

Fugly
In trying to be candid, the language becomes crass. In trying to be funny, the emotions feel manufactured.

Machhli Jal Ki Rani Hai
A horror film that unravels like a daily soap, director Debaloy Dey’s attempt at spooking you out goes in vain.

Citylights
A decent, harmless but toothless remake of the brilliant Filipino film Metro Manila.

Kuku Mathur Ki Jhand Ho Gayi
It is entertaining as an episode for a daily soap but Kuku Mathur doesn’t fit the bill of a multiplex ticket.

Citylights
If you have watched the original try it to see how Manila could easily be Mumbai and if you haven’t, go get illuminated about the ground realities beneath your feet.
