Mere Dost Picture Abhi Baki Hai
The plot had tremendous potential, had it been backed by intelligent writing.

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan
It's all about formula, really. And it's the same old beaten bull.

Maximum
Maximum's problems start right up front. You have no idea where the story is heading because there is no crisis created, no path or goal imagined.

Mausam
While there is little doubt that Mausam is an honest effort to make a beautiful, even epic film, it is way off the mark, missing layers, and struggles to stay afloat.

Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola
Fun for cineastes, lost on the public. However, the intersection of Bhardwaj’s extravagance, a business end catering to a perceived public palate, and the ineffective delivery of a social message is off centre and misses the bulls eye.

Mahabharat
...it's not easy to make animated films and - unlike live-action movies where magic maybe created in a moment on set - it requires toil and an imaginative force that must sustain for months and years. And in Mahabharat this endeavour shows, earning it an extra half star. But where are the new ideas?

Madras Cafe
Even though the film ever-so-slightly under-delivers, we should be blessed that it got made at all.

Love Wrinkle-free
Be prepared though, for a cop out climax that makes a potentially good film, average.

Love U...Mr. Kalakaar!
Like so many recent Rajshri films, any conflict or provocation mildly difficult to solve is scrubbed away, resulting in a sanitized script. It's all just so easy, makes you wonder what sort of cocoon the Barjatyas lead their charmed lives in.

Love Breakups Zindagi
...should serve as an example for stars aspiring to turn producers - there is no reward in playing safe. There is reward in risk.

Lootera
As much as I'd like to reward Lootera for it's craft I firmly believe that films can only win you over with the ability to tell a story. And this is where Lootera falters.

Loot
...corrupted beyond recognition by some pedestrian writing entirely dependent on puns, the absolute absence of logic, and some lethargic acting.

There's nothing terribly original about LPNY, neither is there much to complain about.

Life Ki Toh Lag Gayi
Despite its indie-feel and a whiff of originality, Life Ki Toh Lag Gayi fails to deliver on most counts.

...attempts a stand on domestic violence. Unfortunately, it can barely sit up as a film. And as for the audience, they'll be flat on their backs by the end of it.

Ladies VS Ricky Bahl
Sharma's film mirrors the chemistry between Ranveer and Anushka: faux, unconvincing, slapdash and hurried.

Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum
There are sex comedies. Then there are bad sex comedies. Then there is just bad. And then finally - right at the bottom of this pile - there is KSKHH.

How did this film with two very talented actors and an interesting concept to begin with go so awry?

Kshay
...a no-budget indie production that delves deep into the abstraction of obsession. Inaccessible to many, if you truly want to see cinema free of box- office constraints, cinema as pure art, cinema that doesn't play by the rules, then treat yourself to the exceptional instance that is Kshay.

Krrish 3
Despite the relentless violence and a clobbering of the senses, there's nothing here for anyone older than age 9. Once you accept this, it's a film easier to digest.

Khiladi 786
I felt it is the least cheesy movie in the cheesy category this year because it had moments of self-deprecating humour, and the women here are treated nicely. Let’s hope it doesn’t cost them.

Khap
...a film that looks like the mangled matrimony of Moulin Rouge and Peepli Live. Both dreadful versions of. To think that this is what was intended from the very start: mass entertainer meets issue-based film is ludicrous.

Joker
That it has not been promoted as a children's movie is confounding because surely the producers did not mean for it to be seen and enjoyed by thinking adults.

...claims to be an "edge of the seat thriller" on its poster. Considering the makers didn't set out to make one in the first place, one wonders how convinced they were about their own effort.
