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

Murder 3
...a decent remake, the story stands out in this genre. It thrills in spurts but bleeds in parts.

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

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!

David
Yes, the Devil's in the detail. But maybe David needed more 'D' of 'Depth' in the story to make this more 'Delightful'.

Listen... Amaya
Avinash Kumar Singh has sensitively handled a strong subject textured with social and psychological complexities. His characters peel layers of emotions, without over-dramatizing scenes, or amplifying the issue. It is subtle and sincere.

Race 2
Heists, hot-babes, roulette, raging cars, gizmos and gags - Director duo, Abbas-Mustan have thrown in everything with pompous grandeur, save for a riveting plot that shocks or stuns.

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.

Gangoobai
...doesn't sweep your heart away, but leaves you with some sweet, feel-good moments.

Dehraadun Diary
With poor production values, a crumbling script and blah performances, director Milind Ukey fails to move, inspire or instigate at any level.

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.

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.

Khiladi 786
For those looking for some logic-less laughtime, groovy tunes topped with some todh-podh - this one could bring some action to your weekend.

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

Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana
This isn't the perfect chicken recipe for your soul, but never mind, it's the simplicity of emotions that fill you up, leaving a good after-taste.

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.

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

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.

Delhi Safari
With satire, spoof, humour and wit, director, Nikhil Advani has highlighted the ongoing aadmi v/s animal battle, the desperate need for preservation of wildlife and the downside of deforestation.

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

Pairon Talle
There are moments where you empathize with the characters, and you're waiting for the idea to germinate, but it gets 'trampled' along the way.

Kismet Love Paisa Dilli
...is loaded with lewd jokes, and double-meaning dialogues. So if you're not a fan of the birds, bees and bathroom humour, stay away.

Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal
One thing Priyadarshan doesn't do is 'lose the plot' here; simply because there isn't one to begin with. With cliched humour that forces more yawns than laughs; blah-lines; Oddball characters and OTT situations...

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.

Gangs Of Wasseypur 2
...it's revenge on a platter - served cold (heartedly) and definitely worth a 'second' helping.

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.
