Mahabharat
Mahabharat deserves a liberal reading but apart from Karna’s episode Amaan has remained true to the traditional rendering of the epic and there is hardly any effort to delve into the moral dilemmas of the characters.

Grand Masti
...nothing more than cheap revelry that can be watched only for some corny jokes.

John Day
Logic, pace and tautness are the main ingredients of a thriller and Solomon’s work disappoints on all the three counts.

Zanjeer
An unwarranted remake, this time it is the turn of the audience to turn angry!

Chennai Express
By the end, the hollowness becomes too glaring to be covered by Shah Rukh’s presence or Deepika’s charm.

Policegiri
Sanjay deserves a better image-boost and we need a break from the clones of Dabangg.

Shortcut Romeo
In an effort to make it look cool, it is not just the performances, even the cinematography and action look put on and jerky.

Aurangzeb
If you want your rich masala fare sans the unnecessary garnishing, Aurangzeb is worth paying a visit!

Gippi
The way it pans out it reminds us of producer Karan Johar’s 2012 hit Student Of The Year. Only, the bling factor is a little diminished. It raises relevant points but the innocence or the lack of it seems manufactured.

Murder 3
As for Vishesh, he hasn’t delivered anything special but has assembled enough to create ground for another Murder!

Inkaar
You can’t ignore Inkaar for its sheer topicality and its courage to look a problem in the eye though the director goes into blink mode half way through the film.

Student Of The Year
...if you are game to accept St. Teresa as a new version of St. Xavier’s that Karan created 14 years ago, it is not a bad ride.

Ek Tha Tiger
...surprisingly director Kabir Khan has come up with a new recipe for the current Tiger of the box office. Kabir wants to put his stamp without stamping on Salman’s toes.

Cocktail
...once you are done with gushing about the picturesque locales, the hollowness of the subject dawns on you and it is not a good feeling. All the gloss and sauce fail to make us feel for any of the characters because their transitions don’t pass muster.

Teri Meri Kahaani
Long, laboured and pointless, Kohli fails to place his gorgeous actors in a credible story.

Love Wrinkle-free
...an edible experience for those who are bored of the routine menu at the box office!

Fatso
Using magical realism Kapoor deals with deep-seated human quandaries in a light-hearted fashion but ultimately fails to realise the potential of the subject.

Tezz
Set out to make a thriller, Priyadarshan delivers an unintentional comedy which is neither sharp nor sensible.

Vicky Donor
Shoojit Sircar's Vicky Donor comes as a pleasant surprise - he deals with taboos combining hilarity and heart.

Hate Story
The film may give morality a Dam(n) but there has to be logic. Thanks to the jerky narrative, instead of empathising with the characters you start laughing at them.

One doesn't know about the relationships it talks about, the film is dysfunctional for sure.

Ekk Deewana Tha
Even if you dont mind the lack of detailing, you cant avoid the potholes in the script. As we wait for Jessie to make up her mind, the film loses its coherence.
