Zila Ghaziabad
Riddled with grotesque characteristics and cliches of most gang-banger films...

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?

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.

Yeh Khula Aasmaan
For a movie that's supposed to be inspirational, director (Gitanjali Sinha) gives us blah lines, lackluster story-telling - which is emotional at times, with an exhaustingly slow pace - weakening the script further.

Yeh Jo Mohabbat Hai
With the Mother of all cliches (acting directing, costumes, dialogues), a mash of several love stories, and a fatigued formula, the director loses the plot; if there was one to begin with.

...is nothing to gush about, but the teenies can watch this one for a lark...and some yo-yo beats!

Warning
...with all its highs and lows is a new effort at a waterworld story, but fails to safely swim ashore even with a life-vest.

Vicky Donor
Director Shoojit Sircar is back with a bold, first-of-its-kind concept that's taboo. He makes this sperm of an idea swim all the way. He intelligently uses comedy to break mindsets, without embarrassing moments or awkward lines. The film entertains, without preaching sexual moralities or social service.

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.

The Last Act
With a unique concept at hand and an all-new directors' gang, getting the 'act together' is no mean feat. Team of 12 - Take a bow, this stage is all yours.

The Attacks Of 26/11
What RGV's re-appraisal of that injury does, is remind us that the spirit of the city is indefatigable; inspite of still bleeding hearts.

Teri Meri Kahaani
...the script lacks depth and fails to ignite enough passion or chemistry for a love story. It's not devoid of romance, cutesy conversations and sweet-somethings; but there are no highs, lows, conflicts or complications that make you gush, or give you gooseflesh.

Table No. 21
The first half is slow-paced, as a thriller it has its flaws, the direction isn't really superlative, but post-interval it spins into another zone and the climax hits home.

Super Model
The film reminds you of a popular voyeuristic television show, albeit a downgraded version. With trashy production values, a futile story, cheesy dialogues and catastrophic performances this one trips off the ramp long before the show starts.

Student Of The Year
You may not like this movie if bubble-gum romances, picture-perfect worlds and candy-floss clouds are not your idea of a movie-going experience.

Special 26
Interestingly, this con-job story is not superbly-stylish or stealthily serious. It doesn't stun you with a social message like Pandey's 'A Wednesday', but it grips, excites and ahh...climaxes too!

Sons of Ram
...grips you mainly because of the detailed narration and unraveling of various lesser-known facts and figurines from Ramayana. The animation is good, but we've seen better strokes and more stunning visuals in recently released films.

Son Of Sardaar
This is a mass-entertainer, strung together with a series of Santa-Banta jokes, spiked solidly with macho sardaarisms.

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.

Shuddh Desi Romance
The concept is engaging, but the plot is little shudd, little desi and quite confused.

Shortcut Romeo
We wish the director had found a shortcut to tell this story of love,(extra-marital) sex and dhoka.

Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi
This is no epic love tale, but it's worth a watch for those who like their cinema as buttered as their bun maska.

Ship Of Theseus

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