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

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.

Jo Dooba So Paar
Undoubtedly, there is intention and heart in the making, but JDSP only shines in spurts and despite its shortness, is unable to hold one's attention for the duration.

Jism - 2
...a slow, oversimplified and boring film with minimal action (of either kind).

Jayanta Bhai Ki Luv Story
It’s a sweet little film that must’ve sounded great on paper, but just doesn’t quite keep you engaged the way it should’ve on screen.

Jai Ho
Shrewdly combining the mood-of-the-nation-capturing strengths of Raju Hirani with the fairytale nonsensical brutality of, well, brother's previous efforts, Sohail Khan has churned out an idealistic no holds barred allegedly patriotic drama that clocks 'mental' on a scale of 1-to-Gadar.

Jackpot
Con artists, rainy Goa, casinos, a porn star - Gustad had the nut game but his approach is cavalier. The narrative - aspiring to be sharp and stylish - ends up lackluster and disjointed with not a single moment of high energy.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan
...may not be his finest, but even here we are treated to his willingness to tinker and update his own previous work and beliefs in the telling of his concluding romance.

Issaq
...requires tremendous effort and patience to get through (let alone like), and in the end, it is simply not worth it.

Ishkq In Paris
This film could've been so much more honest, real, gritty even. That would've been a worthy, valiant last stand.

Ishk Actually
...is just about the most bizarre romantic film to come out of the Hindi film industry in the last few years. Despite working with conventional elements, the makers attempt to stride into art-house territory with its treatment.

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.

Inkaar
It’s fantastic to see a director who finds himself at ease working out of his comfort zone, challenging himself and transitioning between diverse subjects.

I Me Aur Main
The plot itself is non-existent, hinging on clichés and one wonders how the talent was convinced into doing this film given the lack of meat.

I M 24
...needs a suspension of belief that simply does not hold, especially given the semi-realistic setting.

I Am Singh
...an incredibly amateurish piece of filmmaking with absolutely no redeeming facet.

I Am
...while the director's points of view are unquestionably on the button and every performance worthy of mention, the film itself lacks finishing on a script and execution level making it tedious in parts.

Horror Story
...while I'm not jumping out my seat any time soon, if you're even mildly impacted by bounding chudails, doors slamming on their own accord, and eerie whispering, Horror Story may have you do it at least a few times.

Grand Masti
...is unabashedly gross, vulgar, crass, shameless and fearlessly adult. But for a moment one has to step back from the noise of dissent - from the guardians of Indian culture and their histrionic fatwas - and ask yourself one simple question: Who are we to choose for others?

Gori Tere Pyaar Mein
It's a classic Bollywood vice: talking down to the audience, not giving them enough credit, assuming you're the intelligent one.

Go Goa Gone
...it was enthralling to watch Go Goa Gone in which directors Krishna DK and Raj Nidimoru have taken a giant leap in introducing zombies in the mainstream and made a superb, gut-busting film while at it.

Ghanchakkar
...is all very well as it flags off, but it's mostly downhill after it hits its high point in the first fifteen minutes.
