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.

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.

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?

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.

Peepli [Live]
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
