Prince
Vivek Oberoi suffers intermittent convulsions through the film as his brain hangs like a computer. Wish the viewer had a Ctrl+Alt+Del option. Alas all they can do is curse the makers literally asking them ‘ dimag kharab ho gaya kya? ’

Tum Milo Toh Sahi
...starts as a simple story but for the first half hangs aimlessly like people whiling away in a coffee shop. The second half is too slow and too many songs only slacken the pace.

Well Done Abba
Despite being a trail and tribulation journey, Benegal’s direction has a feel-good charm to it.

Hum Tum Aur Ghost
Arshad Warsi’s debut as a writer is so ‘lifeless’ in Hum Tum aur Ghost that even his ‘spirited’ performance isn’t able to save the dead slow film from dying a slow death.

Shaapit
Shaapit , like most formulaic frightful films, is a horror flick where the tone, tempo and variation of the background score determines the moment of spook.

Love Sex Aur Dhokha
...shouldn’t be restricted with tags like experimental, offbeat, path-breaking, low-budget or multiplex cinema. While it happens to be all of these, it goes beyond with its smart story and superlative storytelling to be a brilliant and entertaining film.

Lahore
With a perfectly predictable plotline, if a film still keeps you riveted through its runtime, you know there’s something earnestly right about it.

Right Yaaa Wrong
The supposed suspense in the first half is as lame as its protagonist with a perceptible double-cross at the interval point. The identity of the killer is revealed to the viewer soon after and with nothing left to your imagination, the genre changes from suspense-thriller to courtroom-drama.

Road, Movie
The pacing is sluggish for a road flick and Dev Benegal’s screenplay is bland, lacking basic level drama.

Thanks Maa
The film works largely for the amount of authenticity that director Irfan Kamal imparts to every frame of the film.

Karthik Calling Karthik
...a film calling in all admirers and connoisseurs of intelligent thrillers. Amidst several missed calls, blank calls, wrong numbers and cross connections (read tacky thrillers), this call from a new number (read debutante director Vijay Lalwani) is worth attending.

Toh Baat Pakki
Though not path-breaking in any terms, the flavour of the film is a delectable balance between candyfloss and masala.

Click
...seems to be as manipulative as photo-shopped images. It simply fails to click.

My Name is Khan
Karan Johar succeeds is in making Shah Rukh Khan underplay his character like never before and mellow down the human drama with as much positivity that a film with a backdrop as intense as 9/11 ends up being feel-good with an optimistic outlook.

Rann
Rather than a story designed around the media world, Rann is more of the clichéd corrupt politician chronicle (that Bollywood has been narrating since ages) set on the backdrop of the broadcasting business.

Chance Pe Dance
Ken Ghosh’s dance-drama takes no chance in experimenting with storytelling style and ends up being an extended version of the music videos that he used to direct before making feature films.

Dulha Mil Gaya
...if you don’t relate to a predictable plotline like this, rather say no to the film.

Pyaar Impossible
The moral of the film is that one shouldn’t judge a person by their looks. Going by that, however cool this candyfloss flick might appear, it’s still shallow on content.

Paa
At times you should not be yourself to show the world what you really are. Amitabh Bachchan does just that and shows the world he is the Paa of performing arts.

De Dana Dan
...a quickie flick which is hastily written, rapidly filmed, has swift storytelling and speeding characters giving you no time to breathe, gasp, feel, absorb react or relate.
