Mausam
...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.

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.

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!

Mahabharat
If only the makers had to pay that much extra attention to the animation and execution like they did with the characters and their faces, this epic would have been quite different and would have gone down well with the kids.

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.

Speedy Singhs
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!

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

Mr Joe B. Carvalho
Just as we have 'keep your brains behind' action/thriller flicks with super stars, this one too falls in that category, but with a difference. At least, you don't leave the theatre fuming!

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.

Dedh Ishqiya
...is a work of art but with too much of 'attachment'. It does not work when you don't know when to say ''cut''.

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.

Prague
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.

What works for Bobby Jasoos is the casting, what pulls it down is its writing.

Heropanti
It looks good and has a good line-up of character actors. But sadly the script flounders from the beginning.

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.

Shaadi Ke Side Effects
...started out with a lot of promise but like a talented cricketer, overburdened with sudden fame, soon died out.
