  • Aladin

    Sujoy Ghosh may have had an ambitious plot - a SFX-laden fantasy like this needs a big scale, which it has - but his treatment bores you to death.

  • Paa

    Watch Paa for Balki's fresh treatment and storytelling skills and to see the senior Bachchan in a new light.

  • Paa

    ...has one of the most relevant issues of Indian society at its core, a heartwarming story woven around it and a narrative that takes you through the film effortlessly, leaving you happy, moved, and thoughtful in the end.

  • Paa

    The film has a predictable, even clichéd, storyline but writer-director Mudassar Aziz makes a half-decent watch out of it.

  • Rann

    The problem with Rann is that it doesn't strike a balance between what it shows - the ugly side of the news media - and some of the advantages of having a free press in a democracy.

  • Ishqiya

    ...director Abhishek Chaubey combines elements of his guru Vishal Bharadwaj (the rawness of the script) with that of Quentin Tarantino (the background score and wild characters), which results in an edgy, stylised comic thriller.

  • My Name is Khan

    C’mon KJo, let’s have a sappy romantic comedy – melodrama, music, family values et al – next. Others can worry about social issues.

  • Love Sex Aur Dhokha

    ...is the ‘cool’ film youngsters would enjoy, and its realness will strike a chord with a few. The more discerning audience may be left disappointed. But it is film you can’t ignore.

  • Badmaash Company

    The message is strong but doesn’t hit you with the force you expect it to. This could be deliberate, given that the film underplays the histrionics and keeps the tone light, probably to reach out to a larger audience.

  • Robot

    The film may have its moments, but not enough to leave you with a smile at the end.

  • Break Ke Baad

    The film may not be among the best love stories ever made, but it delivers two hours of decent entertainment and leaves you with a smile at the end of it.

  • Thank You

    ...what can a Kumar or a Khan do, when there's no script. Go through the motions, of course. Question is: do YOU want to?

  • Thank You

    ...leaves you occasionally on a high, but also a tad disappointed. With the body of a modern thriller and the soul of a 1970s masala film, the idea behind the hybridisation had potential, but DMD falls slightly short.

  • Chala Mussaddi - Office Office

    Director Rajiv Mehra and writer Ashwani Dhir are unable to take the humour quotient a notch higher in the film -- if anything, it's diluted -- and even with a playing time of around 100 minutes, the film seems too long.
