Tamanchey
An attempt at being imaginative at a regular love story gone too long and dry.

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.

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

Gali Gali Chor Hai
A loud and tacky story with more distractions than the story itself makes a decent idea, with a common man behaving like a common man, ineffective.

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.

Sixteen
...tries to be cool and the effort shows. The labour that such an effort requires shows through every department of the film and not in a good way.

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

Housefull 2
...is nothing more and nothing less that what you'd expect from it. you know the director and his genre, so you know how you'll like the film.

Zanjeer
...I refuse to believe that the makers of this remake of Zanjeer didn't know they were taking away from an already not-so-great film.

Bewakoofiyaan
Despite desperate attempts to be different, Bewakoofiyaan is only as interesting as the ups and downs of any relationship in trouble.

If only you couldn't have figured out whodunnit by mid-point, you'd have been horrified better

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.

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

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.

Fugly
Yet another, "let's fight the system" film. This one takes on way too much and takes way too much time to express itself too.

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.

2.0
My worst fear came true–the action and CGI are good but not enough by themselves to pull you through the overdrawn public service announcement that the film ends up being.

Batla House
Accomplished police officers have to defend themselves against allegations of fake encounters–the topic as a central theme for a film is relatively fresh. However, the story doesn’t budge ahead until the last 20 minutes and thus is sadly a tiring bore.
