Hindi Medium
...shines in two areas that most of our films often fall short of. As far as the story goes – good writing, and as far as comedy goes – great timing.

Dolly Ki Doli
...is simple and refreshing. It's filled with some laughable moments, hilarious performances and quirky characters.

Zid
The performances are forgettable and flaws scream out loud. The climax tries to shock, but leaves you shaken and wondering - whose zid was this anyway?

Ungli
The film points a finger at our society, and rightly so. But much of the film is pointless too.

The Shaukeens
The terrific threesome play their parts with ease and Lisa adds oomph and colour to the 'grey' streaks.

Happy New Year
The story is simple, perched on a lavish canvas - glitzy, glamorous, gorgeous bodies and with self-deprecating humour which stands out and entertains in parts.

Daawat-e-Ishq
This one won't fill your hungry hearts, but one serving (not too bland, not too spicy) isn't too bad for your appetite.

Mad About Dance
...it's a film for dance lovers. Even if it leaves the heart dancing for more.

Singham Returns
The plot rumbles with action of seismic proportions, shot grandly in signature Shetty style - high-voltage stunts, death-defying combats, men and machines bursting into flames - served bloody, gritty and unadulterated.

Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania
...has plenty of feel-good moments, but nothing that will leave you punch-drunk. For romantics who believe in their dils and their dulhanias.

Holiday
The film is too long and needs a taut edit. It has flaws too, but doesn't fail to entertain.

Filmistaan
In a nation of star-worshippers, this film devoid of superstars brilliantly stands out.

Kuku Mathur Ki Jhand Ho Gayi
Funny situations and scenes with quirky characters provide clean humour but that can't substitute for the lack of a good, engaging story.

Mastram
The film that had a lot of potential, but what's missing is the 'woh wali baat'.

Hawaa Hawaai
Hawaa Hawaai's inspiring story is for children, for the child in all of us and for adults who need to wake up to dream again.

Kya Dilli Kya Lahore
Without the usual trappings of filmi fanfare, this story has its heart in the right place - pure and undivided.

Revolver Rani
...is loaded with a lot more than just gunpower. You'll enjoy biting this bullet.

Bhoothnath Returns
The first-half has wittily written scenes - strung with satire and emotion, but the story slowly turns into a tedious vocational course on voting.

Jal
The story scatters often like a fistful of sand, yet, for those seeking something different, go quench your thirst.

Youngistaan
Afzal's 'Youngistaan' at the core is an interesting idea, far-fetched, but refreshing. The love-story develops tenderly, but the political backdrop and ensuing drama is not crafted with clarity. The story suffers from uninspiring dialogues, with a stretched climax.

Ragini MMS - 2
For horror-buffs this might not be 'spookilicious' enough, but those looking for a 'sun-sunny' weekend, go lap it up!

Lakshmi
...based on a harrowing true story, is a thought-provoking, disturbing film told with heartbreaking detail and a narrative that is so raw and ruthlessly realistic, it often becomes repulsive.

Bewakoofiyaan
...has its khoobiyaan but mostly it has majbooriyaan where the story is concerned.

Shaadi Ke Side Effects
The director strikes a fine balance between humour and emotion in this slice-of-marriage story.

One By Two
Debutante Devika's concept might look good on paper, but onscreen it dissipates like diarrhoea.
