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.

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.

Satya 2
...in a sense, Varma is challenging audiences to compare him against his younger self. The results aren’t pretty.

The Attacks Of 26/11
...an exploitative, voyeuristic endeavour undertaken by a filmmaker because he has the money and resources to do so.

Yamla Pagla Deewana 2
Forget funny, the sequel isn't even mildly amusing. It's just boring.

Heropanti
Director Sabbir Khan abandons the promise of a mindless action entertainer in favour of a more mindless emotional drama, which he naturally finds himself inept at.

Race 2
...is the kind of film you wish for your worst enemy to watch on a Saturday night at the most expensive multiplex ticket available. Unlike the first part of the franchise, though, it’s not even one of those guilty pleasure films that act as accompaniment on a drunken night with friends. Even as a terribly bad film, Race 2 is a disappointment.

Humshakals
Humshakals should set several online forums on fire, with topics ranging from “Is Humshakals Really Worse Than Himmatwala?” to “Saif Ali Khan’s Mid-life Crisis – Desperate For A 100cr Hit” to “Must Sajid Khan Get To Make Films Only He And His Friends Enjoy?”

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan
The brief must have been clear: 'Don't use your brains, just do what we've been doing for years now. It worked the last time; it'll probably work again. If not, we'll try again the next time.'

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.

Not A Love Story
When Not A Love Story started playing, it seemed like a bad film so enjoyable that it could be recommended. But soon, you realise that this kind of skullduggery wouldn't be advisable for anyone.
