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

Bombay Talkies
...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.

David
...given that David had the potential to be three great films in one. Instead, it ends up being only half of what it promised.

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

Dulha Mil Gaya
...may not be a bad film, but it's the kind of film you don't care about much after having watched it.

Shootout At Wadala
...would have been fun if it made no bones about being an unabashed crowd-pleaser, rather than the “authentic” docu-drama it annoyingly pretends to be and using the premise as a license to indulge in three Bs – bullets, breasts and (what you also end up telling yourself after watching it), “bhenchod.”

Desi Boyz
...may be I'm giving it more thought than it deserves, because frankly the film did make me laugh out loud about twice. If your expectations are that low, you may not be entirely disappointed with Desi Boyz.

Ghanchakkar
It's a pity - given the collective talent on display – that the film never quite rises above its potential.

Boss
I imagine Akshay Kumar’s film slate to be decided thus: Look for public holiday, decide release date, work backwards. Script, cast and director are incidental.

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

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.

Raaz 3
Watching Raaz 3 is like being at a magic show where you've figured out the magician's sleight of hand; you see the show unfold, already knowing how each trick will exactly play out. Bereft of the surprise factor...

Chance Pe Dance
Watch it only if you’re a die-hard Shahid fan and if three good songs and four good scenes satisfy you as an audience.

Chance Pe Dance
The old-world charm of Mausam is likeable, but doesn't salvage it. In the end, the only thing epic about the film is its unwarranted length.

Players
That little unpardonable deed aside, Abbas Mustan ensure Players to be a laugh-riot, a comedy the writers of The Italian Job could have never imagined possible.

Bullett Raja
The acting is inconsistent, the screenplay patchy, the background score jarring and the editing jumpy.

Bobby Jasoos
The film boasts of an interesting premise and an in-form Vidya Balan, but a weak third act plays spoilsport.

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.

Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara

Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara
...while Bachchan is a strong reason to watch Aarakshan, pretty much everything else around him falls apart.

Jai Ho
...is so sloppily put-together, you wonder if footage of the actor taking a nap over two hours would have been more entertaining.

Revolver Rani
Even a spunky Kangana Ranaut cannot save this spectacularly boring film.

Kick
The setting seemed ripe for an entertaining no-brainer, but Kick will remain as forgettable as most money-spinners lately.

Gunday
...there’s little that oiled physiques, buttoned-down shirts and pectoral muscles can achieve without a decent script or good direction. Gunday has neither.

The Xpose
...the film fails spectacularly is in its inability to come together as either an unapologetic camp-fest or serious murder mystery, trying to walk the fine line unsuccessfully. As a movie set against the backdrop of the Hindi film industry, it’s neither outrageous, nor sardonic, and definitely not cheesy enough.
