You wish someone would teach Indian directors to tell their stories simply and quickly. They'd be so much more thrilling.

Haseena Parkar
It's brave of a really young actor Shraddha Kapoor to want to play Marlon Brando in The Godfather. And full marks for effort. But Haseena Parkar is a poorly researched film, which just makes you laugh at the end of it all.

Many horror tropes later, you realise that it's the slow pace of the film that's the real killer.

7 Hours To Go
You want to empathise, take sides - the cops or the hostage taker - but the story is too convoluted for us to care.

Laali Ki Shaadi Mein Laddoo Deewana
...is a never-ending tale of confusion that is so unfunny that it is dumb.

Kuchh Bheege Alfaaz
The film is about connecting with a wrong number, whatsapp forwards, and really bad life advice. In other words, 'Hashtag One Tight Slap' for wasting the audience's time.

Bhoomi
This version of avenge-your-daughter's-rape film is so gory and violent, you wonder if they're all living in some time warp. Who makes such films? And why should we watch such blood and gore?

You come away wondering how they took a wonderful story and spat out a stupid version.

Fitoor
...desperately pretends to have literary aspirations but ends up being a ridiculous romance where heroine runs to hero in a really flouncy white dress and brown suede boots.

Ki & Ka
It's interesting for the first twenty minutes, but then the film dives face first into problems that are so made up, so fake you wonder if they thought the film through beyond the 'concept'.

UnIndian
You'll love this film if you have never heard NRI tales, never had relatives who live abroad complain about 'Indians', never visited a foreign country, stayed with relatives who behave at once Indian and at once 'foreign'.

Luka Chuppi
The set up is totally unfunny, but the attempts to get married does bring laughter, if only you can stay awake.

Vishwaroop II
...even though this is an action film, it takes effort to stay awake through totally implausible things happening on the screen. And for a Kamal Haasan fan, a huge disappointment to acknowledge that vanity overtook his talent.

Evening Shadows
You want to say nice things because the issue of gay rights is important, but this film is riddled with cliches about a patriarchal family where the gay son has not come out. It's a tedious watch.

Just creating a documentary of the evil that was emergency would have been a thousand times more powerful than this disappointing drama.

Only the person who did the special effects earns his salary. The rest is self-indulgent silliness.

A Flying Jatt
...so needlessly Bollywoodised with a song and dance and everything seems to be happening so slowly you lose patience with it, despite some genuinely funny moments.

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

Mirzya
It's a sad debut film of two young people who just go through the motions because everything is pretending to be art.

If only the quirkiness wasn't tiresome and the film offered something concrete to share with.

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.

Satyameva Jayate
An obvious manipulative release for Independence Day, this film hopes you will want to salute good cops. But you don't fall for it one bit.

Island City
Three stories, tenuously tied in a presentation that is so amateurish, you wonder why NFDC would back this film school type story-telling.

Love Sonia
Perhaps the foreign audience is gullible and offered funding to what was supposed to be 'realistic depiction of the horrors of human trafficking' and they should be disappointed with this skin flick.

The film starts out well and quickly degenerates into a poor cousin of Khosla Ka Ghosla or Oye Lucky Lucky Oye..

Hate Story IV
The acting is so poor your nerves will be jangled. Supposedly erotic, the on screen kisses will put you off kissing for ever.
