Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji
Mediocre lines are converted to lame by some awful timing and some rock-solid misdirection. Save a couple of interesting characters performed well, there's nothing at all watchable in this 150-minute ordeal.

Dam 999
...irritates mainly because you are forced to watch it in 3D when there is no reason to. Other irritants like disjointed screenplay, an unengaging narrative, distracting accents seem secondary in comparison.

Heropanti
...the makers, with a 100% fresh starcast don't even attempt to break any mould is disheartening.

Tum Bin 2
Philosophizes a little too much with little insight. And I wonder where we have seen the story earlier? Hmmmm...

Bol Bachchan
It's chaos as usual in Rohit Shetty-land. Save a few funnies, it is typical nonsense one would expect in a film from this genre.

Race 2
The action brings more 'laugh out loud's than wows. The twists make your tummy churn instead of making your grey cells work.

Amit Sahni Ki List
Like its lead character, the film is a little lost. Which by itself isn't a bad thing, but difficult to make an interesting story out of.

Badrinath Ki Dulhania
Too distant for city audiences to find relatable. Too superficial for smaller town audiences to find believable.

B.A. Pass
Not too often is women's sexuality or rather her openness about her sexuality explored in Hindi films. For that, BA Pass can be appreciated. But other than that, it is a pretty hollow affair.

Hello Darling
...aims to take a decent premise and juice the sense out of it. It looks like it succeeds, even beyond the imagination of the makers.

Horror Story
Even if Horror Story manages to spook you a couple of times, it repeats itself way too many times to be remotely effective.

Mausam
...is beautifully shot, no doubt about that, but a regular love story takes forever to finish, and then there's some more left.

Kick
...is as typical a Salman Khan film as it gets, plus a tad bit of a story, a tad bit of an attempt at keeping things sorted, a tad bit of an attempt at acting more than usual by Salman Khan.

Dishoom
A thriller that cannot be bogged down by details. An action film that cannot be bothered to even attempt innovative moves.

Phillauri
Some films mesmerize because they linger lyrically, beautifully. Others l-l-l-i-i-i-i-n-n-g-e-r in a way you wish it stops before you can say asap. Unfortunately, Phillauri is the latter.

Student Of The Year 2
Wouldn’t saying, “SOTY 2 is predictable,” predictable in itself? Let’s just say, you get what you expect. Even if there might just have been some potential for change in dynamics between characters, ultimately they are only sly story-telling tactics.

Toh Baat Pakki
A wannabe-Hrishikesh Mukherjee film. It’s one of those simple one-line plots that if told well could be both entertaining and insightful. But, this is neither, mainly because its loud and tries too hard to keep it light.

Son Of Sardaar
The exaggerated action sequences and silly comedy may entertain some of the audience, but as a film-crazy nation, we surely deserve far better.

Phata Poster Nikhla Hero
Pretty much what you'd expect - silly and more silly which is funny occasionally, story that has no idea when to stop, and so on.

Nanu Ki Jaanu
Social messages in a ghost-romantic-comedy. Yes, that’s 4 genres in one sentence. And that’s not counting the many “Public Service Announcements” within those social messages. A bit much that alas adds to not much.
