Ghanchakkar
...all this would have made for a memorable comedy of misadventure but Rajkumar Gupta chooses the tread the thriller road. Sadly, he chooses to do so at a lethargic pace and hence, the punch when it does come loses impact because by then you’ve given up on the film.

Koyelaanchal
...what could have been a nice little film about a real situation becomes a caricaturish melodrama.

Bullett Raja
Tigmanshu shouldn’t try to copy Prabhudeva but make straight-from-the-heart films that he’s famous for. We missed the comic punches and the black humour of his earlier efforts. He doesn’t deserve this and neither do we.

Marjaavaan
If Marjaavaan is an attempt to turn Sidharth Malhotra into a bonafide massy action star then it fails to do so on all counts.

Amavas
We learn from Amavas that a Gothic mansion, jump cuts galore and red herrings aplenty thrown into the mix sadly don’t translate into a horror film.

Bewakoofiyaan
The film doesn’t offer us an escape from reality nor does it warn us against the evils of consumerism. It isn’t even an out-and-out comedy.

Machine
The scenic locales of Georgia and the cinematography are the only saving graces of the film.

Laali Ki Shaadi Mein Laddoo Deewana
Director Manish Harishankar did have a germ of an idea that could have sprouted into something wonderful if he had taken care while nurturing it. Sadly, that wasn't the case...

Jism - 2
Going by the promos, we were hoping for India’s answer to Basic Instinct. What we got is something that provides lots of unintentional laughter and nothing more -- not even cheap thrills...

1920 - Evil Returns
We would have forgotten and forgiven the lax pace, the hotchpotch screenplay and shoddy editing if Tia Bajpai was scary and/or sexy. That she is neither is the main flaw of the film.

Super Nani
The only take-away from the film is that Rekha is as beautiful, as vivacious and super talented as ever and that our writers should really think of giving her meaningful roles that suit her stature.

Gulaab Gang
What could have been a deeply sensitive film about the fight of rural women for a better life is reduced to a superficial product.

Yeh Khula Aasmaan
The issue isn’t given the due gravitas. The film lacks pace, the dialogue is stilted and the cinematography is erratic.
