Sanju
This is a work of fiction masquerading as a biopic. And Rajkumar Hirani may have violins standing by to manipulate emotions, and he has Ranbir Kapoor mimicking Sanjay Dutt's mannerisms, but the movie remains a vanilla version of a life full of violence induced by drugs, guns, bad company and women.

Zubaan
You come away with mixed feelings even though you really loved the idea of 'tumhari zubaan kuch keh rahi hai...'.

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.

Baar Baar Dekho
...despite Katrina Kaif and Sidharth Malhotra's 'hotness' which drew the audiences in, the story leaves you cold.

The Final Exit
The film does get to you, the story begins as eerie and scary, the landscape of the lonely highway is beautiful and metaphorical, but the length of the film and the silly conclusion leave you frustrated.

The Fakir Of Venice
What could have been a fabulous satire on the world of art ends up being tedious because it is directed badly, except for a masterclass in acting by Annu Kapoor.

Batti Gul Meter Chalu
The Erin Brockovich style class action story goes nowhere, and we see courtroom antics that are so bad, you wish you were watching a TV show with your mum.

Rough Book
It makes a weak and very obvious point about the education system but fails in delivering the message.

Sniff
The story of the ten-year-old Sunny Gill, who does not have a sense of smell had the potential to turn into a good film. Alas, the execution is so awful, you'd best be advised to turn up your nose at the film.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3
The trouble is, the story is fine on paper, it's the sleazy execution that makes the film unpalatable.

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?

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.
