Ready
The film is pretty much a showcase for what Salman Khan does best-which is fight, dance, charm the girls, and laugh lazily at everyone. An assortment of ugly relatives, even uglier villains and a plot that makes no sense at all. None of it matters.

Kashmakash
With Ghosh's sense of drama and Tagore's words, can this be anything but engaging?

Ragini MMS
Surely the film will have an audience among those young enough to be scared by the chills and desperate enough to find the sex titillating.But I guess I just wasn't scared enough.

Luv Ka The End
Between a boy whose pout is better than the girl's and a girl who tries hard to be Dirty Harry, this is a movie that is to be avoided. At. All. Costs.

Game
Abhinay Deo, the king of the ad world, makes a tepid entry into the world of cinema. He gets bogged down with making each shot look pretty and perfect, the attention to the smallest details hinder rather than enhance the plot, and yet there are gaping holes in accuracy.

Yeh Saali Zindagi
...is like a blueberry cheesecake. A delightful little trifle that works because the actors don't think they are auditioning for a consumer ad or a fashion glossy photo shoot.

Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji
No one can accuse Bhandarkar of not exploiting stereotypes. He tries it with humour this time. But maybe we've just got used to his sledgehammer ways.

Some directors use sledgehammers to make their point. Others use a scalpel. Well, welcome the scalpel.

No One Killed Jessica
Some films rip your heart out and keep it on the table as it lies beating. You watch in frozen fascination, knowing it will eventually stop.

Tees Maar Khan
It's an oddly half-hearted film from a woman who is never known to do anything in half measure.

...watch the film for its energy and for its lead pair who are charmingly unaffected.
