Hate Story
....is being pitched as an erotic thriller but it’s neither very thrilling or particularly erotic. But it does work as unintentional comedy.

Vicky Donor
...is one of those rare Hindi films that work purely on the strength of writing and performances.

Housefull 2
...has exactly the same mix of stars, foreign locations, farcical plot and spectacularly dim-witted comedy as the first Housefull. This is the cinematic equivalent of junk food - when you walk in, you know exactly what you're going to get.

Agent Vinod
...never becomes more than the sum of its parts and even though it picks up speed in the second half, it leaves you both exhausted and unsatisfied.

Chaurahen
...brims with tortured souls, pensive silences, meaningful looks and meals left unfinished. Not surprisingly, it’s a slog of a film.

Ekk Deewana Tha
Menon struggles to achieve grand emotion but the story is thin and the telling, insipid.

Shaitan
Slowly but surely Shaitan loses steam, becomes repetitive and ends in a whimper. Which is a shame because Nambiar has talent to burn.

Ready
...made me laugh sporadically but beyond a point I could almost feel my brain cells shrinking and exhaustion setting in, one joke at a time.

Pyaar Ka Punchnama
The plot is inert and the dialogue, vacuous. The film feels like it's in slow-motion. Nothing much happens for a very long time.

Stanley Ka Dabba
...has an inherent sweetness and honesty that will stay with you long after the film is over.

Shagird
Nana Patekar fans will enjoy his purposefully eccentric, casually ruthless cop but honestly, it felt like deja vu to me.

Luv Ka The End
I walked out of the movie depressed. If this is really what the youth wants, we should be afraid, very afraid.

Haunted
...mist, screeching doors, books that fall by themselves and blaring background music that insists that you be scared. I was trying not to laugh out loud.

Chalo Dilli
...strains hard to be uplifting and poignant but it doesn't quite make it.

Shor In The City
...a terrific film. It's surprising and disturbing and has a vein of rich, dark humor coursing through it.

Dum Maaro Dum
This is one film that should soar but sadly it never quite takes flight. The problem is the writing.

Teen Thay Bhai
...a film so bewildering and tonally inconsistent that as you watch, you can only wonder: what were these people smoking?

Game
There's lot of strutting and style and high-tech sleuthing. But there isn't a story that makes sense.

F.A.L.T.U
...the film is so staggeringly moronic that you walk out completely exhausted.

Tanu Weds Manu
Though the director picked up an interesting subject, he has not succeeded in executing his story effectively on screen - there are not enough laughs in the film.

Kaccha Limboo
...could have broken new ground but its insights are few and far between.
