Ishaqzaade
...is watchable for most part, but brace for disappointment in the secondhalf when a manipulative screenplay gets in the way and hampers the chance of this movie ending up first-rate.

Fatso
...despite the preposterous concept, there is an intrinsic connection Kapoor attempts to make with viewers and in this, succeeds for most part.

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.

Tezz
If it weren’t entirely inspired (remade? ripped-off?) by The Bullet Train and Speed, I’d have been happy to give Tezz more credit, but two stars is how it chugs.

Chhodo Kal Ki Baatein
Despite not being original - on the merit of choice of inspiration - this is the film to opt for this week.

Blood Money
...is generic mash up of Mahesh Bhatt’s productions, cannibalizing from his own films.

Agent Vinod
Despite Raghavan's mastery in certain moments, the script – undoubtedly mangled on the edit table – leaves the film like a rudderless boat in open waters: floundering for direction. Watch it for the ride, but don't expect to be rattled.

Chaurahen
Ojha squanders her chance to go the distance and be a true iconoclast in these times of masala over matter.

Kahaani
Story, technique, and performances are all in sync to produce a cracking film.

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

Will You Marry Me?
If only the makers had stuck to a single genre - either romance or drama or comedy and not this foolishly ambitious all encompassing idea of Will You Marry Me?, would have been a better film to watch.

Jodi Breakers
The result is a compromised film when in reality, with its concept, Jodi Breakers could've been significantly more compelling.

Question Mark
...is nowhere near as good as either of its inspirations and is yet another amateur attempt in this heavily exploited genre.

Ekk Deewana Tha
Lazy filmmaking, repetitive endless conversations, arbitrary songs, and weak protagonists are its undoing.

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu
A romcom that goes beyond being sweet and enjoyable or a perfect date film.

Gali Gali Chor Hai
...seems not only incomplete in thought but also technically: Basic scene to scene transitions missing, uneven sound.. the film leaves you deeply unsatisfied.

Agneepath
Agneepath is a tribute to a time when Hindi movies were escapist epic fantasies. And a time when they were also not very good. Depends on how you look at it.

Sadda Adda
Should you watch Sadda Adda? Well if you're willing to endure 90 minutes of twaddle for 25 minutes of goodness, go right ahead.

Pappu Can't Dance Saala
Despite the odd couple's performance, some pleasant moments on-location in Benares, and the attempt to put a twist on an old subject, Pappu fails to win you over.

Jo Hum Chahein
The age of playing safe, in cinema at least, is officially over. The idea that you take a 'classic' love story, update it for an urban milieu, cast new faces, record a bunch of songs, and spend some money on production design is frankly, dead.

Lanka
...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.
