Damadamm
There is sensitivity and earnestness in the writing that the actors - specifically both women - are able to translate into something identifiable.

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

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.

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?

Vishwaroop
...the film is of a massive scale, well shot, the action set pieces are up to scratch; but it feels long, is occasionally tedious and performances are way too over the top.

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.

Chennai Express
An individual opinion in such critic-proof films is like a smashed up secondary car in a Rohit Shetty convoy: it amuses momentarily.

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.

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.

Shortcut Romeo
The film tries so hard to be slick, you wonder that if it was shot in a realistic manner with real characters, it'd might have worked. Instead the movie is replete with pathetic production values.

Ragini MMS
Props for the lead actors, who give their best, but are undone by an inept director

Aalaap
For a film that claims to "explore the different sides of Naxalism", Aalaap's politics are muddled, its objective naïve, and method laughable.

Bodyguard
At the time of writing, Bodyguard is on its way to shatter all box office records. Does it really matter what I think?

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.

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.

The Attacks Of 26/11
But it is RGV who has the last laugh as he guilt-trips you into standing up through his reversescrolling end titles in memory of the lives lost in 26/11. And even though you’ve battled through this personal assault of a film, you have no option but to comply.

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