Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge
...a kewl rom-com, if you like young, child-like fun. It's easy-going, well-edited and breezy-paced.

Soundtrack
...starts unsurely, mildly irritates while casually displaying a wasted life amidst drugs, alcohol and sex and then grips you into a story that makes you want good things to happen to a person you didn't like much or worse, were indifferent to.

Love Breakups Zindagi
It is a casual and everyday-like take on the subject but it also turns out to be long-drawn and boring.

Rascals
For a slapstick that is supposed to keep you in splits, Rascals has a very few gags that would have worked better if they were told in a calmer tone, with better timing and werent dragged endlessly.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster
...a decent political thriller. But, it would have worked so much better if the characters had engaged us emotionally.

Hum Tum Shabana
All the adjectives, all the phrases, all the cliches of the not-so-kind kind that apply to a mindless comedy, apply to Hum Tum Shabana.

Force
...a perfect masala film, which also means, it is perfectly predictable. And yet, Force keeps you engaged.

Tere Mere Phere
If the film had talent that didn't have limitations, if the writing had been crisper, if the editing had been even crisper, maybe we could have judged the debutant director.

Mausam
...is beautifully shot, no doubt about that, but a regular love story takes forever to finish, and then there's some more left.

That Girl in Yellow Boots
The gritty nature of the film and the subject is not something all of us can handle for it takes guts to accept the truth about the society that we are a part of. It's an important film but not one I'd want to watch again.

Bol
The heart doesn't reach out to any of Bol's characters. It is slow and gets repetitive and preachy about serious topics like mistreatment of the girl-child and sexual orientation. The treatment doesn't let you get too involved.

Bodyguard
For once, a film made me wish it didn't have a story and was the usual Salman Khan "cool". That, at least I'm prepared for. The attempt at putting in a sorry, convoluted twists just kill whatever other fun you could have had.

Shabri
Even if you are looking forward to a story about a woman gangster, I'd say this isn't something worth getting too excited about.

Sahi Dhandhe Galat Bande
Parvin Dabas directs himself well. And he gets a few scenes right, but other than that his debut as a director Sahi Dhande Galat Bande doesn't engage as a film with a social message ought to.

Not A Love Story
Superlative performances hook you into a disgusting story that comes from newspapers despite RGV going even crazier with his camera and sound departments.

Aarakshan
...is, what I call, a bell-curve film. Starts shabbily, reaches a peak around mid-way and ends more shabbily than it started.

Phhir
It's taxing when everything you have to say about a film is bad. It's not scary, it's not thrilling. It beats its own purpose and is just bad.

I Am Kalam
Its simplicity is works as both an advantage and a disadvantage. The easy-going narrative is a pleasant watch but too-good-to-be-true plot is distracting.

Khap
While "good intentions" might be the culprit for the existence of this ineffective piece of social drama, it's the shallow writing, horribly amateur acting and horrendous production values that truly drag the film to abysmal depths.

Gandhi To Hitler
A complete waste of time. The performances are annoying, the characters lack depth. And we are talking about Gandhi and Hitler here!

Bubble Gum
A clean, fresh movie about growing up in 1980's India. Family, friendship and love (in that order) are the elements of this teen-capers flick.

Singham
Comical action, filmy dialogue, awful flow make Singham's decent concept look laughable. It tries to make a couple of points but they are lost in the "coolness" that the film wants to be.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
There is nothing profound about Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara; neither does it bring any insight that you and I don't already have from our own relationships. But, it connects from the word go.

Murder 2
It's one of those films where you come out with only the villain and what he is capable of. If you can handle creepy, sexual violence, go for it. It is sure to provide "that" kind of a thrill.

Delhi Belly
It's hip to be abusive, and it's as cool to be liberal about sex as it is to be about toilet humor. And that's exactly what Delhi Belly is - hip.

Bbuddah...Hoga Terra Baap
...brazenly declares that this is a tribute to the legend and his prime years. Once you have done that, they could have gotten away with anything. They didn't necessarily need a story or characterization. But they give you that and Amitabh Bachchan unlimited.
