No Problem
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
...a confused, botched-up attempt at reworking the formula of the first film...

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.'
