  • Bombay Talkies

    For one, these are four stories told by directors whose narrative styles are poles apart. Secondly, as soon as one story is over, you are in the process of absorbing another, without getting time to savor the one just over.

  • Tum Mile

    Though the film does manage to tug at your heart the length is a big bother, a little snip here and a big cut there would have done wonders for this film.

  • Veer

    Salman has taken a gamble, it's now left to be seen how the audience reacts to this fight to get the British out of India. Somehow, I get this feeling that the dice is loaded in favour of Veer Salman!

  • Players

    ...you have a ready plot, you know what each actor's role ought to be and the screenplay is well laid out. All they have to do is adapt it to the Indian audience which, frankly speaking requires a little imagination.

  • Phata Poster Nikhla Hero

    ...is not one of Rajkumar Santoshi's best works yet, but considering the genre, the director has stuck to the premise of packing in all the ingredients that makes it a masala film, without trying to go over-the-top.

  • Dam 999

    This is where Sohan goes wrong; he is trying too many things in one go. Astrology, Ayurveda, politics, dam issues and a complicated love story.

  • Bombay Velvet

    If you want to watch Bombay in its pristine glory of the past, Bombay Velvet is a must watch. However, if content is what you are looking for, stay away!

  • Fitoor

    ...packs in a lot visually (DOP - Anay Goswamy) and held out a promise to be Danielle Steel's The Promise. However, it remains just that, a promise!

  • Stand By

    Surkar chose a fine subject which had tremendous potential to hit the right chord with the audience. But 'team' selection let him down coupled with lack of use of advanced technology.

  • Striker

    If only for its off-beat treatment and detailing, of childhood buddies and dreams, and subtle romance, this movie is worth a watch. There's no gloss, but lots of substance.

  • 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.
