Always Kabhi Kabhi
The lasting impact though is of only "blah". It doesn't remain the chick-flick it starts out as, nor does it execute the message it wants to put across well.

Bhindi Baazaar Inc.
Same old underworld world. Same old violence. Same old attempt at creating value through shock.

Love Express
A brain-dead love story. A mind-numbing experience. Something that I won't call the worst I have seen only because I've seen worse.

Shaitan
If it weren't for the brilliant performances, Shaitan would look like it's Director, Bejoy nambiar and producer, Anurag Kashyap's urge to sew plainly written scenes with quirky treatments.

Ready
...actually has a sort-a, kind-a coherent story. Well of course, I'm using the word coherent loosely. And story. And what-the-hell, "sort-a, kind-a" too. What I'm trying to get at is, Ready has focus.

Kucch Luv Jaisaa
...is almost as boring as a woman-going-through-mid-life-crisis' life.

Pyaar Ka Punchnama
She's a user, he's a loser. In each of the three couples. Thank goodness for some decent lines and situations that make it a decent date film.

Stanley Ka Dabba

Ragini MMS
...has nothing new in the general story or the details, given the genre of supernatural, horror stuff.

Haunted
...has some scary bits interrupted by hilarious attempts at explaining how the supernatural works.

I Am
...is a set of strong 4 short films. Each one of them is well-made and takes you into its own little world.

Shor In The City
...is well-shot and has good performances. It also has a few well-developed, interesting characters. Yet, the plot gives a very "been there, seen that" feel.

Zokkomon
Harry Potter meets Krissh meets not-so-Home-Alone, unfortunately in a very superficial, blah sort-of a way. And yet, there is enough for the under-10s to enjoy indoors on a hot summer day.

Dum Maaro Dum
...makes a crime thriller as disinteresting as it could be. The lines are limp and the situations are far from creative. The plot is strung together with a series of events that have no flow.

Teen Thay Bhai
...embarrassing to watch. And this is despite the film being devoid of sexual humor. Just watching three great performers going from one unfunny gag into another is extremely uncomfortable.

Thank You
It's brainless, it's banal, it's boring - nothing short of what you expect from an Anees Bazmi film.

F.A.L.T.U
...while it is lively and fun, FALTU isn't something that'll stay with you after you've walked out of the theaters.

Monica
You can see the sincere effort in trying to keep us interested in the events. Unfortunately, the effort is not successful because of this irrepressible urge to be stylish and muck around with the timeline in the narrative.

7 Khoon Maaf
...how I wish, there was a little bit of a surprise in the narration or at least I understood even half of why the characters behaved the way they did.

Patiala House
...keeps the balance towards being light. But completely messes up the good, strong start that it gives itself by going the cliched route.

Utt Pataang
...a 100-minute film with a reasonably interesting story, a fantastic flow in the screenplay, and decent performances seems slow and boring...

Yeh Saali Zindagi
It's quirky and funny. It's twisted and largely unpredictable. It's pacy and just the right amount of overwhelming. It is dark and carries off a style of its own.

Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji
Mediocre lines are converted to lame by some awful timing and some rock-solid misdirection. Save a couple of interesting characters performed well, there's nothing at all watchable in this 150-minute ordeal.

Dhobi Ghat
It's different, it's sincere, it's inconclusive, it's abstract in its own way. It's intriguing and it leaves you dissatisfied.

No One Killed Jessica
...the film gives us, what we need most - the strength to fight our fights and the hope that we will get what we deserved all along - justice.
