...you have to say that the charisma of the two central actors holds you to your seat till the end.

Freaky Ali
It is disappointing how this movie, with such a promising start, descends into cliches of the typical sports film.

Why Cheat India
So though it derails itself in the last quarter of its duration, the film, by that time, has asked a few hard questions of the more obvious flaws in a higher education apparatus that relies on skills of rote learning, for both entrance and graduation.

Patiala House
With its formulaic perspective and wishy-washy characters drawn from British sitcoms, this is no Bend It Like Beckham. Or even close.

Vicky Donor
This film has a sense of humour that cuts across class and cerebral levels.

Shaadi Ke Side Effects
This is not a film, it’s a recipe for a romcom. And a very middle-class one at that.

X: Past is Present
Too many cooks in the kitchen end up serving an experimental disaster.

Trapped
...is a disappointing film from a good director. What surprises you is the mismatch between a subject and the natural style of Vikramaditya Motwane.

Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota
This movie starts off with an interesting script idea and then jumps into the deep end of the dead pool. Were the film stylistically made, it might have worked, but it is so poorly mounted and shot, ‘B’ grade vibes are given off by the end of it.

Ek Tha Tiger
Believe it or not, Salman Khan underplays his role in this hugely entertaining film.

Thackeray
There is no doubt that the film is speaking to the converted. But what is interesting in the movie is the question of the how and why of cinema being used to preserve distinct political constituencies by so many parties and ideologies. Especially, at this juncture of our history.

It tests your credulity, but even so, this high-speed train thriller is worth a watch.

Romeo Akbar Walter
The plot takes a long time to build up, and an even longer time to unravel. Ambience alone, unfortunately, is unable to sustain an audience for so long.

...despite a star cast, and fairly decent performances, the film does not hold you.

The film's plot is completely corny. Surprisingly, though, it works.

This juvenile movie may well be Aamir Khan's first big mistake as a producer.

Humshakals
This film packs in thrice the crudity and vulgarity found in Sajid Khan’s cinema.

ABCD - Any Body Can Dance - 2
A pointless sequel that doesn’t even spotlight its showpiece, the dancing of Prabhu Deva.

Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi
The film has a few watchable moments, courtesy the deadpan delivery style of Jimmy Sheirgill, and an Urdu spouting Pakistani character (Piyush Mishra), a relic from the first film. But as a sequel, it is disappointing.

Dabangg 2
A staid affair. There is no real conflict in this film. You half expect the villain to come up and ask Salman for an autograph.

Hero
Foolishly cast and strangely anachronistic, this remake of the 1983 classic Hero is a travesty.

Manikarnika
The mounting of the film, particularly the battle sequences, is impressive, even though it suffers from some overuse and a little exaggeration. All the actors in the huge cast are competent, but none of the characters they play are textured in the slightest degree, including, of course, Rani Lakshmibai.

Bewakoofiyaan
An affable romantic comedy that slips out of your mind minutes after you leave the hall.

There is a refined style of storytelling at play here, but this film fails to make an impact.
