Happy New Year
Even if you ignore the inane antics of an ageing star, this film is too sneery by half.

Yeh Saali Aashiqui
The performances in the film are passable, but so blatant is the docketing of a new found creed, that it turns the film into a didactic bore.

Aashayein
A tale about fighting cancer? Nearly mistook it for a homage to George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.

The Tashkent Files
A cloud of misinformation and disinformation is suspended in the atmospherics of this movie. It is not a film worth seeing.

Jhootha Kahin Ka
...is a silly comedy with an implausible plot. It has a one dimensional sense of humour, and is not worth a watch.

Dabangg 3
The characteristic style of the franchise disintegrates, until the narrative implodes in a messy trail of unbelievable plot turns and disjunctive scenes.
