Karwaan
Actually, the thing with Karwaan is, it doesn't know what it wants to be. Akarsh is confused between making a light, breezy comedy and a dark, soul-searching film; so it oscillates between a fun-ride and a dark-drag, leaving you with no real emotion.

Karle Pyaar Karle
While the film has been lavishly mounted because it supports Bollywood's nepotism, practice of a producer (Suneel Darshan) making a show reel for his son ( Shiv Darshan), scant respect is paid to even trying to give you a halfway decent story with contemporary treatment.

Kalank
Three words to sum it up would be – it’s beautifully chaotic. Anyway, some movies are best seen and less analysed.

Kaanchi
...Mr Ghai you're the maker of Kaalicharan, Vishwanath, Karz, Hero, Ram Lakhan, Karma, Pardes and Taal. Permit us to just rewind to your past glory.

Junooniyat
In all fairness, Pulkit and Yami breathe life into their characters. We wish they were not saddled with such a lacklustre script.

Junglee
Atul Kulkarni, who shows up as the antagonist, is superb. However, everything else around here is amateurish.

Jolly LLB 2
The plot has enough laugh-out-loud situations and emotional outbursts to keep you invested especially in the razor-sharp first half.

Jazbaa
Gupta, known to be sounder with technique than story-telling (many of his films have been foreign inspirations), has got it right this time.

Jalebi
The treatment is like a Sridevi-Jeetendra-Jaya Prada South remake from the ’80s. And you don’t empathise with the leads because neither their passion nor pain translates.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan
...has the stamp of the man who made some of the best romantic fare in Bollywood.

Jab Harry Met Sejal
The script is wafer-thin and it’s been done to death by none other than Imtiaz Ali in each of his earlier films—be it Jab We Met, Cocktail or the recent Tamasha. It’s the routine girl is engaged elsewhere story but she discovers half-way through the film that she is actually attracted to someone else.

Ittefaq
Instead of the having the edge-of-the-seat quality that brain twisters ideally should, this one is a tiresome cat-and-mouse chase.

Ishkq In Paris
Preity Zinta's maiden production has its aesthetics in place. Paris is enchanting. The actress is good but there ends the show.

Irada
If intention is everything, you may feel kindly towards Irada. Unfortunately when it comes to a celluloid experience, story-telling is prime. Here, the film falters.

India‘s Most Wanted
If you’re in the mood for a documentary-styled ‘real’ film, you may find something to take back from here. Having said that, in this case, the intention can be lauded, but definitely not the execution.

Heroine
...the saving grace of the film is Kareena who not only looks drop-dead gorgeous but is also adept as the girl interrupted.

Hawaizaada
On one level, Hawaizaada works because this story about India's unsung hero needs to find its place. But this realm depends heavily on performances - the histrionics could be several notches higher.

Hate Story 2
...even if the plot points in this vendetta drama seem asinine, with Surveen, Sunny and sex thrown in, the less pretentious will go home satiated.

Hasee Toh Phasee
This romantic comedy mirrors the quirks in human nature subtly and provides humour in everyday situations; in the family and amongst friends.
