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

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.

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.

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

Maximum
Director Kabeer Kaushik, has a good force of actors here and a gripping premise, but he doesn't quite lead the way.

ABCD - Any Body Can Dance
The film lacks dramatic-density, but the minute dance breaks in, all hell breaks loose.

Ramaiya Vastavaiya
This one's like a pretty field decked up in celebration, but with no real harvest to show.

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.

Rajjo
Vishwas Patil probably had a heart-wrenching story, but he's unable he exploit his cast well, or narrate a tale that's coherent, consistent or engaging.

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

Aiyyaa
Even with such a talented ensemble, this one turns into a cultural showpiece, and gets lost in translation. That's the sad-partumm!

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.

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.

Mumbai Mirror
The film has a lot of Dabangg-isms, with too many brutal killings - random and ruthless and glaring flaws in the first half. Though the second half sums up the suspense - blood soaked in tragic truths and raw realities.

Ajab Gazabb Love
This film is all about a bunch of people going bananas, yet, it doesn't leave you in splits.

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

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.

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