Singham
Yes, this is Wanted Part 2 or Dabanng Part 2 without Salman Khan's crazy charm.

The world has moved on to organic from synthetic, Mr Chopra. Wake up before you drown in the plastic.

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

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

Not A Love Story
It's Varma's old hunting ground-there's an animal inside each of us. And if you have the stomach for it, it's worth a watch.

Players
Bollywood has realized it can camouflage its lack of stories with lots of thrills, chases, heists making the location exotic and the villains international even if it has to finally buy the remake rights legally.

Bodyguard
The viewer is not enthralled but bhaijaan has done the best that his comic strip straitjacket could allow him.

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.

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.

London Paris New York
Yes, yes, the movie is heavily borrowed from Before Sunset, Before Sunrise and every other movie about love with a deadline, but there is a refreshing sweetness to it.

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.

Raavan
...so we get Mani Ratnam's politics. What we don't get is his art. This is perhaps his most beautiful film--and that's saying a lot for someone who makes such an effort to frame his scenes. But it is also one of his weakest central characterisations.

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.

I Hate Luv Storys
It's not just the writing, which can be as pallid as the production design is vibrant. We've had it till here with the re-enatment of recent YashRaj and Karan Johar film scenes.

Lahore
It's a film that could have done with less length and more effort to find a better lead. Fewer cliches too.

Red Alert
...the movie suffers from the same problem that all Bollywood films on controversial subjects do--how to present both sides, equally well, not offending anyone.

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

Vishwaroop
Is this a good movie or a bad movie? A bit of both--with both intentional and unintentional light relief.

Shah has the energy of the film on tap. If only he had got the story half as right.

Mausam
Every scene is beautifully shot, the romance is meant to grow on you with its artful glances and coy exchanges. But instead of a slow burn, it's just plain exhaustion.
