  • Meri Pyaari Bindu

    ...is just about okay. If you wish to escape the summer heat outside or are seeking help in falling asleep, this film is a great option. However, you'll come away loving Parineeti Chopra's performance.

  • Sarkar 3

    The film is crammed to the gills with characters and motives that go nowhere. Amitabh Bachchan is earnest but even he cannot prevent the poorly scripted and horribly hammed work from turning into a train wreck.

  • Mantostaan

    The bizarre splicing together of four stories makes no sense whatsoever. Just because the filmmakers chose to ride on the shoulder of a literary giant does not make the film worthy.

  • Noor

    Noor, played by Sonakshi Sinha with all the earnestness she can muster, but the script is so badly researched, so superficial, it gives journalists a bad name.

  • Maatr

    ...is a predictable revenge story that completely ignores the trauma and social stigma that is usually attached to rape victims regardless of their social class.

  • Begum Jaan

    Unfortunately, Vidya Balan who plays the title role cannot save the hopelessly predictable plot. The film is such a terrible, bloated and tastelessly overdone copy of the Shabana Azmi starrer Mandi (1983).

  • Begum Jaan

    Watch this life affirming film about death because the cast is great, the humor is omnipresent and you will come away with your heart in your hand and tears in your eyes.

  • Blue Mountains

    ...shows us everything that is wrong with making movies for young adults. There is no finesse in handling the subject and poor research shows up like a glaring sore thumb on the screen.

  • Phillauri

    The film has flashes of brilliance, but the tedious sequences go on for so long you think you have aged when you emerge out into the sunshine.

  • Machine

    The director duo Abbas-Mustan launch Mustafa (son of Abbas) with this romance cum murder thriller cum demented psychological drama. They try so hard to offer as many hairpin bends as they possibly can add, but the young actors in this race are so callow, their romance is unintentionally hilarious.

  • Machine

    You can see a mile away how things are going to end, and even though you wish the story had given you more, you are forced to shrug and accept the story as it is.

  • Trapped

    ...is a typical festival film, which has its moments but is tiresome to watch and makes you wonder if it would have been better as a short film.

  • Mona Darling

    A good start to a horror film, but it slowly falls into cliches and is unable to recover. Bollywood has never made worthy to be slotted as 'Horror' but this one makes an effort.

  • Irada

    The film rapidly deteriorates when the stars begin to showboat and then goes on to fall down in a pile of shambles.
