Daayen Ya Baayen
...you need a realistic, down-to-earth film, but there is always that niggling slip between expectation and delivery.

Golmaal 3
...offers more spot the in-reference fun than real gags, and noise substitutes for acting...

Ra.One
Not only does it fail to impress beyond the usual low expectation, 'timepass' levels, it was pipped to the post by Endhiran/Robot.

Yamla Pagla Deewana
...a very bad film, with just a few moments of warmth and humour to keep it afloat...

Dum Maaro Dum
...does no justice to Goa, or to its subject that has so much thrill and tragedy built in, that it must have taken real effort not to make a watchable film.

Rockstar
...a boring, disappointing film, saved only by the rigour Ranbir Kapoor brings on - he is let down by the film's lack of depth, originality and artistic vision.

Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji
...you go to the cinema expecting laughs and get a poor man’s version of Dil Chahta Hai, without the wit.

Jaana Pehchana
...does not work as a standalone film, it's just a piece whimsy, to remind us of what our movies used to be like.

Rakht Charitra – I
A director with the cinematic skills of Ram Gopal Varma ought to be able to reinvent himself, but all he does is reinvent the wheel.

...film plods on to a predictable end, while its slow pace forces the audience to keep waiting for something to happen...

We Are Family
It's as if Siddharth Malhotra and his producer are stuck somewhere in the fifties or in regressive Balaji TV limbo...

Housefull 2
Nobody would object to a mindless comedy, if it was done well. But since Housefull was a hit, and audiences have proved to be woefully passive when making their ‘timepass’ choices, Sajid Khan can wilfully pass off this excessive silliness as entertainment.

Action Replayy
The film is scripted and directed with such a contempt for detail, flat humour, much noise and not one glorious hear-soaring moment

Don 2
From Farhan Akhtar one expects more. And don’t even get started on the awkward plotting and the lapses in logic...nobody watches a thriller with those expectations.

Toonpur Ka Superrhero
The kiddie audience the film is aimed at, has seen so much better on TV and big screen, that Toonpur is bound to evoke yawns. It is so lacking in pace and humour that the really little ones might just doze off.

...the film shoot off on so many directions, with so little purpose, that you give up keeping track after a while.

Ready
Admittedly, the film is not meant for those looking for sensible cinema, but for those who go to the cinema just get some 'timepass'.

Isi Life Mein
The kind of quasi progressiveness the film puts forward, has now been appropriated by television, so the film is like watching a TV serial on big screen.

Thank You
It is not in the least bit funny. No Entry, Masti and Shaadi No 1, were not either, but they were not as offensive as this one. The lines are cringe-worthy, the performances mechanical.

My Friend Pinto
In trying to make Prateik fit that hat Raaghav Dar's My Friend Pinto suffers from a spectacular case of miscasting.
