Tees Maar Khan
Parody of the medium is legitimate, but when it substitutes for content, you have to ask-is the mind of the maker no more than a blank slate?

Agneepath
This movie marks a return to the worst genre of Hindi cinema, vengeance drama.

Zed Plus
Even though its narrative is predictable, this film is a well performed political satire.

Ferrari Ki Sawaari
Caught between two stories, a kiddie cricket fantasy and an adult automobile romance, the film doesn’t work.

Revolver Rani
A biting satire of political and media skullduggery that slides into B-movie parody mode.

Kalank
So this is a film with expensive, but ultimately poor, production values. It is a multi-star movie, with actors trapped into delivering theatrical lines that make their personas unrecognisable. This is hugely disappointing.

Dabangg
Unlike a typical Salman Khan movie, this has got a plot, a well-behaved hero, and even a script.

Aarakshan
Since the movie looks to create consent, it deliberately avoids litigious or divisive aspects of the issue.

OMG Oh My God!
Highly entertaining, this film is a refreshing demolition of India’s never-ending divinity.

Judgemental Hai Kya
So apart from the occasionally engaging antics of Kangana Ranaut in the lead role, the film ends up with little educative or entertainment value. This movie has a good cast, but ultimately disappoints.

Inkaar
If only he had good performers, Sudhir Mishra’s formulaic narrative might have worked.

Total Dhamaal
...the movie plays to the gallery by placing each set of characters in preposterous and farcical gags. The sheer ludicrousness of the set-ups - involving air, land and water transport - gets a few laughs.

Ghanchakkar
There is nothing interesting about the conversation between the four people in this movie.

Ghanchakkar
A moving meditation on friendship that falls short in the acting department.

Ittefaq
In truth, it is not much of a murder mystery, since you can predict the end by estimating the running time of the movie. When conclusive evidence is found to nail one of the suspects, and it seems to be all over bar the conviction, there is still 15 minutes to go.

Singham Returns
With a shocker of a villain, this sequel barely matches the dynamism of Singham.

Andhadhun
...a thriller with not a single scary moment. ‘Andhadhun’ is wonderfully mounted, nicely cast and beautifully art directed, but not once do you grip your seat, sit back in horror, or cover your eyes.

Yamla Pagla Deewana
To enjoy the peculiarly Punjabi flavour of this film, you have to let go of little things like inhibitions.

Hasee Toh Phasee
Changing the personality of a lead character midway, this film crashes after a delightful start.
