Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi
...is worth a visit for its intermittent sensitive moments. And for Farah Khan and Boman Irani who rock… and roll.

Ek Tha Tiger
Like the title Ek Tha Tiger deserves to be spoken of in the past tense. In two words, eminently forgettable.

Gangs Of Wasseypur 2
...does go yawn and yawn towards it concluding section. Never mind. It has more spine and sinew than anything else seen in recent months. Make that years.

Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum
It’s one of those, guaranteed to cast a spell of woes over those who are still optimistic about expecting a shred of sense, sensibility and taste in popular entertainment.

Cocktail
Whatever the flaws and dips in energy-level, Cocktail is a feel-wonderful movie. Shakeit, stir it and get nicely woozy.

Bol Bachchan
Fun? Not exactly. The screenplay of Bol Bachchan directed by Rohit Shetty - another aspirant to the Rs 100 crore-mark at the cash counters - is so weak that it’s a virtual termite-infested plank of teak. There’s just no effort at making cinema here.

Inevitably, then, that oppressive feeling of the deja phew, incites you to wonder – why another addition to a sub-genre that’s been flogged to pulp?

Gangs Of Wasseypur
...despite an outstanding ensemble cast and quite a few other merits, why does Gangs of Wasseypur leave you dissatisfied? Three main reasons: it’s too lengthy, too distracted and much too full of violence and fury signifying nothing.

Shanghai
Why Dibakar Bannerjee went derivative is a conundrum, especially when he has a 1,001 real-life stories to tell around him.

Ishaqzaade
...kicks off weakly and has its share of the deja pooh. Gradually, though, it gets under your skin..and rocks.

Vicky Donor
...leaves you with majorly mixed feelings. It's amusing in parts but is largely contrived and occasionally prurient-'n'-crude.

Housefull 2
Enough is enough. Over to Mr Khan for his mandatory, "I don’t make movies to get good reviews." Sure. He just makes bad movies. Period.

Kahaani
...the result’s engrossing because of Ghosh’s accompished direction, excellent cinematography by Setu, and needless to add, yet another excellent performance by Ms Balan...

Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya
All said and endured, it isn’t a shudderfiesta. If you have some goodwill for the Deshmukhs, it’ll help considerably.

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu
...this date flick isn't entirely seedless but it's sweet and and tender -- best seen with someone you love in the last row, corner seats.

Players
...a truly desperate attempt at jamming outdated elements in a two-and-a-half hour jamboree. The audience's intelligence is insulted throughout in this endless horror show of pyromaniacal explosions...

Don 2
Shah Rukh Khan handles all the acting pyrotechnics. He's bankable in a film that isn't.
