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

Ya Rab
...an interesting movie with an intelligent, intense and important message but poor presentation.

Heartless

Babloo Happy Hai
If you rummage through the creative mess, you will find a gem or two. But for that, you really have to sit through Babloo Happy Hai which is part juvenile, part intense.

Hasee Toh Phasee
Although the film grows on you towards the end, the love angle does defy logic.

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.

One By Two
...is experimental cinema. While those involved seem to be having a gala time, the audience becomes the guinea pigs.

Jai Ho
Sohail Khan has got the message right as well as the reigning Bollywood Star to essay this 'do good' message. But where he lacks is in the presentation, which at times oscillates from average to poor. But thanks to the aura of Salman, he pulls off the story just by his fiery fists.

Miss Lovely
If you truly love cinema and want to experience something out of the ordinary, then Miss Lovely is for you.

Paranthe Wali Gali
Theatre is a creative medium and converting thoughts meant for a play into a 'moving picture' require skills of another sort. The intention was to make a good film, but this never got translated into one.

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''.

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!

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.

Dhoom 3
...is all about Aamir Khan the method actor and a little more about Bollywood's penchant for spoiling a good thing by throwing in some foolhardiness, bending to please people in power and pushing in more songs than necessary. In fact, Dhoom 3 is all about how to begin a movie with a bang, and then ruin it.

What The Fish
For the first time in the year, there was genuine laughter from the audience; it was more for the indigenous way you presented it than for the actual comedy. The scenes were craftily built up on a plot that is a riot.

Club 60
...a beautiful story that connects with you, me and everyone else. Whether you are 20 or 80, this one will definitely move you.

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

Take a bow Rakesh Roshan. The technology used is brilliant and the overall product is awesome.

Ishk Actually
If you like to be involved in the narrative, then Ishk Actually is worth a watch.

Mickey Virus
Debutante director Saurabh Verma has a half-baked script in his hand. A little more research and hatke presentation would have made the difference between a one star rating and three stars.
