Aakrosh
Priyadarshan has constantly been arguing that he switched to mindless comedy capers from meaningful serious cinema because the latter has no takers. If this is the kind of serious cinema he has to offer, we are better off with his comedies.

Knock Out
...only beats around the booth and will leave you conked out. Enter at your own peril.

Do Dooni Chaar
Director Habib Faisal resorts to minimalism in narrating a decent and delectable family drama. The characters he creates are likeable and their conflicts are relatable.

Crook
The tagline reads 'It's good to be bad' but there's certainly nothing good about watching this bad film.

Anjaana Anjaani
The film ends up being a typical romantic comedy which the viewer is no Anjaana Anjaani to.

Robot
...is the flawless combination of biggest superstar and best special effects ever on the Indian screen.

Khichdi
...a mixture of good, bad, sad, silly, stupid, stretched and LOL jokes but overall is a easily digestible comedy.

Dabangg
Try to find a novel storyline and there is none in Dabangg. Try to find Salman Khan and there is nothing else.

We Are Family
This is the kind of film where all the moms and stepmoms of the world are assured to cry buckets.

Antardwand
...completely redefines the term ‘wedlock’ showing a face of the supposed democratic country where even today guns decide grooms.

Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai
...is revival of good old Hindi cinema. As Mumbai goes rewind, you look forward to a dynamic and gripping entertainer.

Khatta Meetha
...lacks wit and sarcasm and by no means can be termed as a political satire. Rather it’s a blatant and full-blown melodramatic tale of corruption that one has witnessed in zillion films before.

Udaan
In an industry known to indulge in larger-than-life ‘flights of fantasy’, Udaan is one of those intermittent ‘coming of age’ films from Bollywood. Do not miss!

Tere Bin Laden
Slapstick in some scenes, satirical in most and silly at times, Tere Bin Laden clicks primarily because above all its farce, it has an entertaining story to narrate.

Milenge Milenge
Watch it only if you are just interested to see Kareena when the term size zero wasn’t coined. Else Milenge Milenge doesn’t score much above zero.

I Hate Luv Storys
If you hate love stories this one’s certainly not for you. Which means this ends up being another love story!

Mr. Singh Mrs. Mehta
meets all the requisite criteria of the alleged art-house cinema. Nothing wrong about it other than the fact that though the film expectedly runs out of entertainment, this one also fails to enlighten or even emotionally touch, move or bind you.

Raajneeti
...the most effective cinematic interpretation of the Mahabharat since Shyam Benegal’s Kalyug 1981.

Kites
Though the story of ‘Kites’ comes from old school (read: There’s nothing new about this plot), the modern day cinematography, choreography, direction and editing make this one worth a watch.

Badmaash Company
Parmeet Sethi makes an impressive debut as a writer and directs the film with as much finesse and panache. Unlike Yash Raj’s earlier con flick Bunty aur Babli (to which this one was compared) where the hoodwinks were hurried, the conning here is very credibly and comprehensively crafted and doesn’t insult your intelligence.

It's a Wonderful Afterlife
With a gluttonous plot and gastronomical premise, Chadha puts a lot of thought in food but sadly there is no food for thought in her film.

Housefull
...slap on your senses as the film sticks to the slapstick genre in every literal sense. It’s shocking that the director feels electrocution scenes are funny even in current times and stretches the sequence with no potential difference from Tom and Jerry cartoons.

City Of Gold

Phoonk 2
...literally blows things out of proportion. Watching this film is like indulging in two hours of foreplay with no sex.
