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.

Aurangzeb
Even though slightly over-ambitious, Aurangzeb is a good start for Sabharwal- he might well be a suitable inheritor of King Chopra’s love for good ol’ drama.

Singham Returns
...with its kitsch, hyperbole and melodrama, is a smartly-made film, where the manipulation is apparent, but not always a put-off.

Table No. 21
...it’s a well-paced thriller with some highs and quite a few lows, and it’s never boring.

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.

Soundtrack
Incoherent sometimes, but enjoyable eventually, Soundtrack deserved to be a better film. In its present state, it's not-so-bad either.

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani

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

Raanjhanaa
...a fairly enjoyable film, aided by a fast-paced narrative, a hummable score by AR Rahman and a great central protagonist.

Dum Maaro Dum
...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.

Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi
I suggest you watch it for some honest moments and a lovable performance by Boman Irani.

That Girl in Yellow Boots
TGIYB, in the end, is a middling effort that has its share of highs, but leaves you unmoved and slightly disappointed.

Lakshmi
It’s heartening to see women’s issues being taken up by filmmakers, and what Lakshmi lacks in storytelling, it makes up with intention and sincerity.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns
It seems that the temptation to cash in on Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster’s success – rather than a story that deserved to be told – is what drove the sequel. Despite that, there’s still a lot to be cherished in the film.

Ek Villain
A well-made potboiler that loses points for being the result of unabashed plagiarism.

Dhoom 3
...fairly enjoyable in a knock-back-a-few-drinks-and-watch-some-cars-blow-up kinda way.

Main Tera Hero
Breezy at best and hilarious in parts, Main Tera Hero is a trip down memory lane, where the original king of comedy – I mean David Dhawan here – regains some of his touch.
