Ek Paheli Leela
As far as the story is concerned, Ek Paheli Leela gasps and pants, a la its lead heroine, and is unable to do much to the viewer.

Mr. X
The story is very predictable, but there aren't really those moments when you feel why the film doesn't end. Two for the film, and a half extra for Hashmi. Watch it for Emraan Hashmi...baaki ki chinta chhodo.

Gabbar Is Back
Watch it if you want to re-see Akshay Kumar's superhuman antics, which he's pretty much mastered by now - Rowdy Rathore, Boss, Khiladi 786, ad nauseam, ad infinitum.

Guddu Rangeela
...works in parts. Disjointed fragments of the film stand out instead of the whole story.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan
...works for both a Salman fan and a non-fan. The film is essentially make-believe, but you want to believe.

Brothers
Watch Brothers for the kicks, punches, grappling, chocking and the un-understandable MMA jargon.

Manjhi
The praise apart, where Manjhi really loses the way is in the way Dashrath's story is presented.

Phantom
...begins fine, and then loses way so badly that by the end, you're just waiting for an extra helping of Afghan Jalebi.

Katti Batti
...even when the filmmakers and the cast and crew try their best to make you believe it is a 'fresh story', Katti Batti gives you a strong sense of been there, seen that.

Singh Is Bliing
...a fun-filled affair, only if you choose to abandon your brain a light year away from the ticket windows and then enter the theatre.

Jazbaa
...is not quite the re-entry to Bollywood Aishwarya's fans had been expecting. But she does do a largely good job of nailing her mother-in-distress act...

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo
...the film works for both Salman Khan and Sooraj Barjatya's specific audience bases.

Hate Story 3
...is one of those films that make you wonder exactly what you want to do after watching it. Laugh, cry, tear your hair out.

Bajirao Mastani
Bhansali takes a leaf out of history, and crafts it into an exquisite tale. And all the participants in this orchestra are in tune with the conductor, despite the occasional out-of-note keys.

Wazir
The slickness, the edge-of-the-seat quality, the darkness. Wazir is replete with the chiaroscuro that is so Bejoy Nambiar.

Saala Khadoos
It is largely due to the sheer brilliance of Madhavan and Ritika's work that Saala Khadoos is saved from falling into the abyss of predictability, which it dangerously teeters on the edge of.

Fitoor
...for all its spellbinding beauty, fumbles bad. The story meanders and loses way in between, and there seems a certain urgency in tying all the loose ends.

Rocky Handsome
...a sumptuous feast for action-lovers. Watch it if you swear by punches and kicks and special, hitherto-unseen-in-Hindi-films martial arts.

Balki sets out to demolish stereotypes, but in the process, ends up affirming them even more.

Fan
Maneesh Sharma helps dust that Shah Rukh out from under the debris of the last few years. And Khan puts his best foot forward for his fans.
