Gangs Of Wasseypur
Kashyap strives to surprise and while every film requires an unconditional commitment of labor and love from its participant makers, the effort behind the making of a Gangs of Wasseypur is special.

Game
...a rocky, unconvincing gamble for such a massive canvas. The culprit is a usual suspect: the screenplay.

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.

Fukrey
...the small film experiment about life's trivialities manages to entertain for most part.

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

Force
...you're pleasantly surprised to find Kamat handling the genre like he would a serious drama, injecting much needed slickness and restraining from going fantasy-levels over the top.

Ferrari Ki Sawaari
...tries too hard. With it's manipulative music, serendipity-dependent writing, over the top characters and it's length, it does get a little tedious.

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

Enemmy
...had some potential as a thriller of with a Rashommon-esque touch as it entirely revolves a single key incident and has three parties trying to figure it out. But it fails, ultimately, to showcase its strengths.

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

Ek Tha Tiger
Khan on the other hand holds back too much. Is he underplaying? Is he not acting at all? Hard to tell. If you're expecting an amusing, captivating, cool Chulbul Pandey-like performance, forget it.

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

Dum Maaro Dum
...tidily brackets itself into a new-age masala film that engages you at a superficial level for a while, but loses its vigour somewhere along the way.

Double Dhamaal
There is no semblance of logic and every situation is conveniently set up to maximise the grating 'comedy'.

Dhoom 3
It's Dhoom man! It's about Jai, Ali, bikes, Katrina and that god of acting Aamir Khan!

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.

Delhi Safari
Even though the target audience is kids, Advani doesn't talk down to them. This is one of those rare instances of a children's film - animated or not - that respects its audience.

Delhi In A Day
...would've been a more relevant a decade ago when the idea of a 'crossover' prevailed on the indie film scene.

Delhi Belly
It's a film so irreverent, so unapologetic, it'd be surprising if it didn't go on to become cult.

Dedh Ishqiya
Abhishek Chaubey's direction is sure footed and - like he did with the first film - he pays attention craft, striving for an uncompromised end product. He succeeds by and large.

David
For it’s sheer spunk, look, music, performances, and momentary highs, David is a film worth looking into.

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

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

Dabangg 2
...aren’t we tired of watching the same film in its various avatar over and over again? It’s the same gimmicky action sequences, same item numbers, with the same actors telling us the same unoriginal story.

D-Day
...opens up a small new genre in Hindi cinema, and what really worked for me is that this is truly a new age patriotic film, one without the baggage of jingoism.

Cocktail
...writer Imtiaz Ali dilutes this vision and goes on to self-censor, Indianise, romanticise, emotionalise, ergo commercialise the experience and give us a 1 part alcohol and 10 part water cocktail, an exercise in pointlessness.

Club 60's heart lies in its writing - specifically dialogue - and the stellar show by its cast.

Chor Chor Super Chor
The whole idea of the indie is to keep it pure and uncompromised, but when you're jostling with Bollywood for the limited number of theater screens and shows, concessions are a given.
