London Dreams
...is a head-clangier, lengthier than your lengthiest yawn, and totally destroyed by a story-script which is about as convincing as a technicolour zebra.

Lamhaa
...may not be a completely satisfying two-hour experience. Yet its noble intentions and a bid to go beyond the surfacial situation in the troubled valley of Kashmir, elevate the outcome to a notch above the candy-floss and the commonplace.

Lahore
...this Indo-Pak treatise may have been wah-wahed at film festivals, but all said and seen just about makes it to a notch above the average.

Lafangey Parindey
Its two-hours running length seems like 20. Indeed you visibly age, ruminating about whatever happened to the director who was at least style-savvy in Parineeta, Laaga Chunari mein Daag...

Ladies VS Ricky Bahl
...strives to pack in so much lime, chutney and what-spice-you into its paper thin storyline that it could well have been titled Ricky Bhel Puri.

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.

Kurbaan
Clearly the motive for such movies is sheer profit. Who cares about responsible cinema? Certainly not Johar who plays with faith and terrorism as if they were toys, absolutely designer.

Save yourself your multiplex money, fly a kite instead. Much more entertaining that.

Khiladi 786
...is meant only for those viewers who can achieve the medically-physically-and-absolutely-unnecessary feat of leaving their brains at home.

Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey

Khatta Meetha
...could well be considered by the Guinness Book of Records for the LOUDEST movie ever made in heaven or earth. Forget mirth, this self-styled comedy pumps up the volume so high that the cacophony could possibly be heard in Patagonia and Perth.

Karthik Calling Karthik
Farhan Akhtar, almost in every frame, has a likeable screen presence and acts competently. Still KCK adds up to little more than a wrong number.

Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal
Priyadarshan sir, whenever he takes off for village excursions, organises an ensemble troupe which, frankly, blow your brains to smithereens.

Kai Po Che!
Thanks to the three fast-rising actors, technical finesse and some engagingly directed vignettes, 'Kai Po Che' is a cut above the commonplace.

John Day
...can’t be described as an admirable work. It is certainly not meant for the squeamish or the 'Chennai Express' constituency. Yet, neither is it dismissable as an average, formula thriller. It has it engaging moments.

Jhootha Hi Sahi
...the casting of Pakhi as the heroine is the enterprise's fatal flaw. She isn't right for the role which required far more vulnerability.

Jayanta Bhai Ki Luv Story

Get real, appreciate Jail for being as rough, real and dammit, outspoken. Sorry guys, want to..however it’s anything but.

Jai Ho
All said and endured, here’s the sort of average product which is immune to criticism. Say anything you honestly feel, down the decades it has been huffed – so what? That doesn’t make a jot of a difference.

Ishkq In Paris
Preity Zinta, high on energy but low on subtlety, could have surely looked for a script that does her (and her loyalists) a shred of justice.

Ishaqzaade

Inkaar
...may be thematically topical and significant since it deals with the exploitation of women at the workplace, but it’s the director’s tamest work yet.

I Me Aur Main
The producers could have well titled their enterprise I, Me aur Moan, really.
