Bullett Raja
Despite all this interesting sub-text, the film fails to grip you with its central narrative.

Welcome 2 Karachi
Riddled with clichés posing as jokes, this comedy of a dumb duo is hard to watch.

Bala
...is an entertaining film. But ultimately, it is an unconvincing presentation on the tribulation of early hair loss.

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

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns
The film moves from one lovely scene to another without a story.

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo
With no redeeming sub-plots, supporting actors, catchy songs or memorable dialogues, this Rajshri film is a disgrace to its kind.

Panga
...his is a well meaning movie that weaves the joys of domesticity with the sporting life, and turns both into a bit of a bore.

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

Dil Dhadakne Do
This film is flat and tiresome, with little beyond the banal fixations of the idle rich.

Azhar
...the film is so fondly sentimental about Azhar that it stretches our credulity.

Karwaan
By the end of the film, you have enjoyed the scenery, laughed at Irrfan and his PJs, and ask the question on the tip of your tongue - what on earth were the makers of this movie smoking?

Game Over
...has a few genuinely scary scenes, but it is too schematic in structure and theme to work as a reflective thriller.

Angrezi Medium
It has a few short and funny scenes, interrupted by long and meandering conversations that do not appear to lead anywhere. This lack of overall balance in the narrative, affects your viewing concentration, and you cannot put your finger on the genre on display.

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.

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

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

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.

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
A film as rootless and rife with loose ends as the pretty people in it.

Genius
...is a noisy film, with hysterical action and dramatic sounds fighting for space with this gnome like debutant reaching for the sky, aspiring to instant action and romantic hero status.

Dhoom 3
A fun multi-star franchise that loses out because of its single-minded focus on one star.

Welcome Back
This inane comedy’s tapori accents, ridiculous lines and weak casting make you cringe.

Baar Baar Dekho
For no fault of the actors, this film ends up with zero entertainment value.

Ishkq In Paris
...more a come-back vehicle for a star who has been on sabbatical than it is a romantic story.
