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

Ek Villain
What you get is a well-planned scene sequence with a sharp storyline.... But only in the director's mind. On screen, he executes a mess.

Humshakals
So Sajid Khan would have thought that this is game, set and match for him. A 'blockbuster film'. It is, if he has targeted this movie for five-year-olds!

Fugly
Take off Jimmy Sheirgill and the movie loses respectability. It's like taking the 'F' out of Fugly!

Chal Bhaag
The movie is like a Yusuf Pathan innings; the first few balls are hit over the rope giving the audience huge expectations. By the fifth ball, he has holed out in the deep.

...a film that cannot be missed. Watch it for its storyline. Watch it for its execution. Watch it for its many excellent performances.

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

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

Koyelaanchal
...90s kind of cinema, some of which were mindless amalgamation of scenes.

Purani Jeans
With intensity in the performances from the rest of the cast, Purani Jeans Could have been a different story.

Kya Dilli Kya Lahore
Even if it had to be a story about the partition and its aftermath, things could have been spiced up with more characters, instead of seeing just four performers in all for the duration of over 90 minutes.

Samrat & Co.
The suspense is childish and the scenes leading closer to the mystery are a mystery in itself.

Dekh Tamasha Dekh
...a well-nuanced film which is frighteningly disturbing and intelligently engaging at all levels; be it at the stark portrayal of political situations, comedy or tragic relationships.

O Teri
These types of movies are made 'for the heck of it'. There is no thought given to any detailing on film-making.

Full marks to Rajat for attempting to be different, not bothering about the 'commercial returns'.

Gulaab Gang
Two big names with proven credentials in Hindi Cinema; a subject on women power. A win-win combination for any director. It's not possible to go downhill from here. But that is precisely where director Soumik Sen goes from here. He is in a tearing hurry to make a hash of things.
