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.

Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania
...keeps afloat due to some smart lines and breezy humour, and the camaraderie between its two endearing leads, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt.

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

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.

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.”

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.

Agent Vinod
...is brilliant in bits, and incredibly asinine in others. It’s probably the most inconsistently good film I’ve watched lately, and a massive letdown. Which is a pity. It could have made for a rare, looked-forward-to franchise.

Inkaar
...an unfortunately botched attempt at portraying a relevant issue, even as Mishra struggles to strike a balance between style and substance.

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.

Shaadi Ke Side Effects
...displays massive potential, but never quite manages to live up to it. It tries to be too many things at once – a slice-of-life comedy, a tearjerker, commentary on marriage – without really managing to nail any one of them.

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?

Maximum
Ticking all boxes you expect from a film belonging to the genre, Maximum ends up as a ‘me too’ among many RGV-inspired films in the last few years, even though that may not have been the intention. Sadly, there was potential.

Bodyguard
For a change, there's a more definite story than usual but it's so convoluted and stupid, you’d have actually settled for a film with a lesser story, but which entertained more.

Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum
...amuses you intermittently but largely leaves your brains in a tangle, and the mind gasping for breath.

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.

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

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

Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara
...a confused, botched-up attempt at reworking the formula of the first film...

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.
