Kochadaiiyaan
For all the technological risks that Soundarya has taken, the characters have come across as stiff.

Saala Khadoos
...what first-time director and award winning actor Pankaj Kapoor has done. He has committed the cardinal sin of not knowing when to stop. Also, I feel, he has tried to mix in too many turbulent elements of the past, intersperse them and in the process has ended up burning his fingers.

Kya Yahi Sach Hai
...a brave attempt by someone from within the community to bring to light the dark secrets of the police force. On that front this film scores big time.

The Lunchbox
Two stars are for these three actors who hold together a meaningless plot.

Aazaan
Chadha conveniently hides his weak script behind action, more action and some more action. That's not enough buddy! Give us a story, and a sensible link!

Krishna Aur Kans
For those venturing to make movies especially for children, my request would be to keep it clear of violence and gory ends to characters, both of which you will find aplenty in Krishna Aur Kans, which in effect is its downfall. The length too is a sore point.

Welcome Back
As an audience, you marvel at the sheer audacity of this film to rope in some finest actors of our country and give them a scriptless stage.

Welcome Back
Made specifically for the cross-over audience, the film tries to be honest to the theme. And this is where it scores its brownie points.

Fatso
...a big letdown. It's like a batsman is going great guns and because of his 'arrogant overconfidence' attempts a reverse sweep to be clean bowled when there was no need!

Pizza
At the start of the film you are assured the ingredients are just right, but as the movie progresses, you realize that Akshay Akkineni has crossed the line when it comes to stretching a horror sequence - it goes from being spooky to horrific to a joke.

Zubaan
Mozez had the script, brilliant music and super, way beyond performances, but he spoils the broth by trying to add too many ingredients all in one go.

Nothing adds up but for the hyped romance between Saif and Kareena. Both are in terrific form.

Daawat-e-Ishq
The intention of director Habib Faisal is noble, but the route he has taken is long and boring.

What really gets to you is the background score that goes boom, boom, boom, every time there is an action scene in the jungle, some jungle scenes, or scenes where not much is happening. RGV tries to hit out at you, any which way.

Singh Saab The Great
The narrative, however, stretches and the plot at most times is all too predictable.

While there is no harm in trying ones hand in psychological thrillers, one has to make sure there is enough input to execute the concept with some level of creativity and curiosity for the viewer.

Ab Tak Chhappan 2
...is an 80s plot with a 90s twist with director Aejaz Gulab trying to give it a current flavor. It doesn't work.

I Don't Luv U
...for the entire first session, you wonder about the pointlessness of this whole exercise because director Amit Kasaria had a few aces up his sleeve. But by then, it's too late.

Ya Rab
The entire screenplay defies logic. I can understand if this has happened in a blockbuster film with the big stars where they expect you to keep your brains behind. But not in Ya Rab where the intention is to educate with a calming message rather than entertain.
