Mr Joe B. Carvalho
...an over-the-top and loud slapstick comedy that you have to be in a large group and a really giggly mood to enjoy.

Desi Boyz
It's reasonably paced; doesn't assume the audience to have the IQ of a goat;despite objectifying women, is not entirely regressive; does justice to it production value and has even got a scene or two that will make you laugh outloud.

Rush
Maybe it'd have worked four years ago but even the big resolution is old hat. Unless you're a die-hard Hashmi fan (how many millions again?), there's no rush to see this.

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.

Teri Meri Kahaani
The song situations are absurd, the writing is mediocre and funny when it's not supposed to be, there's hardly an original idea, and the performances are on auto-pilot...

Mod
It should've stayed in the realm of a love story and resisted temptation to merge into thriller territory. Ultimately the film suffers for it.

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

Shuttlecock Boys
A film that seems essentially a filmmaking exercise manages a bonus release. You can salute the spirit and wish them the best for the future, but you can't help but come away from the film a little disappointed.

Dangerous Ishhq
...all you get is a new concept but the focus is solely on style. The film is bereft of substance...

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

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.

The Forest
...has a complex thought, an extraordinary setting, and a noble intent but it ultimately fails to fulfill any of this tremendous potential.

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

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.

Aazaan
If only a more generous fraction of these tens of crores was spent on hiring writing talent and a little more time spent with the actors, we might've had a half-decent action film.

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

Zanjeer
"It is better to fail at originality than to succeed in imitation." Zanjeer manages neither.

Ready
When stars the size of Salman use such self-deprecating context-less humour, there is little chance of the audience not empathising.

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.

Son Of Sardaar
It’s so unfunny, it’ll put you to sleep It’s so shallow, it’ll make you weep.

From Sydney With Love
Nobody wants to see cliches with newcomer actors with their set of stock expressions.

Rabba Main Kya Karoon
Why would they venture into territory that is notorious for being but quicksand for newcomers these days? Either you go megabudget or you go off the beaten path. What is this?

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.

Kaccha Limboo
...a film that is strictly slice-of-life with extremely weak plot points, falls well short of the target.

The plot had tremendous potential, had it been backed by intelligent writing.

Singham
This is supposed to be a masala film. But correct me if am wrong, the oregano must go on the pizza or are you going to snort it straight from the sachet?
