Love Sonia
How does one evaluate a movie on lives where obvious racism feels like a secondary issue? Fragmented narrative feels trivial. At the risk of giving the movie away, what happens to lives that never get better? What do you call it? Human-degradation tourism? Thankfully hopeful? Unrealistically optimistic? Or are these phrases a viewer’s way of shirking reality because we find it uncomfortable to watch? How can you discuss performances and stories that wrench your gut, chill your spine?

Unabashedly silly. Brings a smile or two, even if soulless – that's exactly what you expect though, right?

Freaky Ali
As plain and dry a sports underdog film as can be. Having you root for the actor, not the character, doesn't bode well for a film.

Behen Hogi Teri
The only thing different about this “parents vs. lovers” love story is represented in the title. The title itself is one big eyeroll. So that's that.

Gandhi To Hitler
A complete waste of time. The performances are annoying, the characters lack depth. And we are talking about Gandhi and Hitler here!

Welcome Back
Why anyone thinks any of this is even remotely funny, I don't understand.

Love Express
A brain-dead love story. A mind-numbing experience. Something that I won't call the worst I have seen only because I've seen worse.

Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal
Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal should show up in the thesaurus look up for incoherent and 'all over the place'.

1920 - Evil Returns
Mystery of a possessed goody-good girl builds up to a lame backstory. This is only the excuse to show some disgusting kind of gory horror.

Yamla Pagla Deewana 2
...is one of those rare films that made me wonder why it was made at all.

Has the power to numb your brain to inane action, to bore you with same ol’ action, to tire you with relentless action.

No Problem
No logic, no logistics and no laughs either. And while I'm at it yes slapstick, yes loud, yes tiring, non-stop nonsense.

Befikre
The biggest put-off is that grown-ups behave like juveniles when in love. They behave as if they've never heard of age-old problems like toilet seats and wet towels. Makes you wonder if the writers have experienced real life, real relationships – those outside the movie world.

Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum
Unless you know that you enjoy this kind of humor, juvenile adult comedy that is, please skip Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum.

There are reasonable attempts at keeping the humor "different", but nowhere close to good enough.

It's taxing when everything you have to say about a film is bad. It's not scary, it's not thrilling. It beats its own purpose and is just bad.

The question shouldn't be, "Is it good or not?" it should be, "How bad is it?" Action we saw in yesteryears, dialogue we have been listening to from earlier than that. The lameness of a story and its execution, of course, has been taken to a new level.

...does nothing to you. It has no material to invoke any kind of emotion from you. Except maybe for a few unintentional laughs.

Very rarely, do I say this about a film, but this once I have to - there go two and a half hours of my life.

The Legend of Michael Mishra
..has no substance what so ever, which is alright, right? We are used to films with no substance. Well, this one has no form either.

Bhoot Returns
With next to nothing happening in the first 70 minutes and a disgustingly horrifying last 20 minutes, Bhoot Returns pretty much yells dont watch me.

Jo Hum Chahein
An obnoxious, self-centered boy comes of age. And he cannot act. Neither can the women or men who help him come of age in their ways. And the women are a few of the most gullible ones I've seen in ages, even on screen!

How many more times do we have to see lovers who are too cool for love/marriage? I say, enough already.
