Thugs Of Hindostan
...it is a pity no one thought of writing a more novel story, especially when they had two superstars on board their ship. It is a pity that after spending so much on VFX, gimmickry and virgin locales of Malta, no one thought it appropriate to fit the whole thing in with more emotion and entertainment.

Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2
What's sad is that the squabbles between the men and their girlfriends lose steam as they are grossly exaggerated, repititive and puerile.

Total Dhamaal
...the pace of the first half is terrific. Before the innumerable characters are introduced and the first stone of the plot is laid, it is the intermission. The second half is tiresome.

Hamari Adhuri Kahani
While middle-class values are to be lauded; the writing of HAK comes unstuck.

2.0
...Shankar’s story is pedestrian, plebeian and even plain puerile. But the visuals and sounds are compelling enough to keep you mesmerised at least for a bit.

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.

Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana
...it’s a film that had potential to be a sweet love story. However, this one doesn’t quite get there because it’s not passionate enough on any count—be it in its social messaging--or be it in the romance.

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.

Photograph
If you like romance on slow burn, Photograph might appeal to you. Otherwise, just leaf through your own albums.

Firangi
...this film is a wasted exercise in story-telling. It is an even more frustrating movie experience.

Raat Gayi Baat Gayi
The writing is clever, the dialogue often very witty. But the screenplay falters from time to time.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3
At least it had mystery and it was told honestly with some amount of panache. Be warned; the third installment in injurious to health. It lacks substance, style, spirit and spunk.

Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3
Too many gags follow more gags, actors ham and situations get repeated.

Pyaar Impossible
Honestly guys wake up and smell the coffee. Forget love, even hate isn’t possible here. This film leaves you bereft of emotion.

Shahrukh Bola Khoobsurat Hai Tu
Since the main plot is wafer-thin, the director jumps to the sub-plot once too often leaving the viewer aggravated.

...the whole movie is treated like an 80s show reel, where star-fathers who were launching their sons had a template.

Super Nani
Obviously, director Indra Kumar is stuck in a time warp. As are his lead characters, his writers and everyone else who is associated with this hackneyed movie.

Individually the boy and the girl aren't too bad but where is the chemistry between you, guys? You cannot ignite a spark here, leave alone a flame.

Seriously, how was anyone to guess that this is a cruel joke played by Bahl on his investors and perhaps on an unsuspecting audience.

Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se
The script is outdated, the performances, with the exception of Sunny, are loud and lustreless.

Race 3
...is not even boasting of being an intelligible film which has been made to clear the cobwebs in your mind. It is an ostentatious, over-the-top Salman Khan vehicle, made for his fans between the ages of 5 and 60 (like me!).

PM Narendra Modi
Since we are talking of India’s most powerful leader, naturally one expected the film to be a hagiography. And this is exactly what it is.

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.

Fraud Saiyaan
Honestly, these frauds have made a Bhojpuri potboiler and actually allowed it to masquerade as a Hindi one.

Dishkiyaoon
For an action thriller, the narrative pace is so languid, you can take your popcorn and pee break between the times when two bullets are fired.
