Jaanisaar
...Ali falters in picking his lead protagonists and herein lies the difference between Jaanisaar and his magnum opus Umrao Jaan. This canvas looks appealing but it doesn’t converse with you beyond a point.

Kuku Mathur Ki Jhand Ho Gayi
It is entertaining as an episode for a daily soap but Kuku Mathur doesn’t fit the bill of a multiplex ticket.

Brothers
The problem is, be it emotion or action, Karan is in no hurry to say cut. At times it works for the emotion to seep in but many times over elaboration dilutes the punch.

Dharam Sankat Mein
Humorous in parts, the film tries too hard to strike home the point.

Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2
Carrying forward the flavour of the original, it is a film that many men make in their minds!

Phantom
On the surface the way Kabir and his writers build up the narrative is dull and tedious and with no humour to spice up the mood, the spy games fail to spur the imagination.

Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho
...Kapri, who comes from a journalistic background, has picked from rich sources, but he has not been able to weave the influences into a cogent whole.

Crazy Cukkad Family
...apart from some acute observations and a few acerbic lines that highlight the increasing materialism in the society, the film fails to bring anything fresh to the table.
