  • Housefull

    This is one more of those 'leave your brains behind' flicks. Frankly, if you do try to stop looking for logic, you may have a blast. The gags are situational and hilarious at times. On other occasions, they do draaaaaaag!

  • Pappu Can't Dance Saala

    This movie is fundamentally flawed. There is a plot, but the premise is weak. Also, the so-called sub-plots don't really add up to the whole picture, making it an exercise in futility.

  • John Day

    Ahishor Solomon, however, crackles in the first 45 minutes, setting up the plot to a nicety, building scenes and sequences giving one a sense of a slick-thriller. Unfortunately, his characters [and their motives] that follow fail to link convincingly to the preamble, thus making the entire exercise crumble like a pack of cards.

  • 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.

  • Student Of The Year

    I don't know why, but I get this strange feeling that the director was not fully involved or attached to SOTY. The mark of intensity that one has seen in his past films is missing. It's like a grand wedding reception with a poor food spread.

  • Uvaa

    If only director Jasbir Bhatti had dwelt on the subject rather than concentrating on silly school scenes and even sillier teachers, we would have had a hard-hitting film on our hands.

  • Entertainment

    Entertainment, Entertainment, Entertainment may have worked for Vidya Balan in The Dirty Picture. But it's not necessary that just the word is enough to entertain.

  • 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.

  • 10ml Love

    ...the plot looks good on paper, but Kataria tries to interject too many characters and situations and in the bargain loses his hold.

  • 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.
