Angrezi Medium
Guilt-tripping masked under the garb of a parent-daughter relationship. If the masking is intentional, it’s a shame. If it isn’t, then the writing is all over the place.

Pankh
Disturbing abstract stuff. The entire film feels like one huge hallucination. Even if you are ready to take the flight of fancy with a boy who's seriously troubled because his mom made him play girl-roles in films when he was young, it won't be a fun ride at all.

Ekk Deewana Tha
A dull romantic film adds twists in the end to put every thriller worth its salt to shame.

Housefull 4
Were it not for the general slapstickiness, the extra half hour, the flippant attitude towards writing women characters, Housefull 4 might’ve worked for the few laughs it brings.

Aiyyaa
Where weird goes terribly wrong and comes across as a desperate attempt to become quirky funny.

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.

Bahubali
One epic war sequence at the end of a story that is not only half-hearted, but also half-told.

We Are Family
...of a little sister called Cliche, big brother Predictability and brat teenage sister, Implausibility. Our big daddy is Mr. Patronizing Dialogue and soccer mom is the Great Indian Kangan. Oh yeah and our stepmom is Stepmom.

Lanka
A lackluster narrative, despite the over-dramatization, which Manoj Bajpayee somehow tries to hold together with his performance.

Calendar Girls
Starts off and continues with awful dubbing, follows up with mostly awful acting, fills up with reinforcing stereotypes and finishes up with predictable story-telling.

Better than some RGV products. Yes, that isn't saying much in favor of the film.

Tere Mere Phere
If the film had talent that didn't have limitations, if the writing had been crisper, if the editing had been even crisper, maybe we could have judged the debutant director.

Jodi Breakers
There are a few moments where you begin to hope for chemistry between the lead pair only to see it fizzle away into a ridiculous story.

Vishwaroop
Mountain out of a molehill - the ban that is. The film itself is a very average action flick attracting attention only because of Kamal Haasan.

Dilwale
More or less what you expect with a little twist thrown in. Ok fine, a couple of genuine laughs too.

So, I am supposed to find people laughing at perceived body flaws funny? Thank goodness for some great supporting cast, and decent lead cast performances.

Tees Maar Khan
So obnoxious is the film along with its stars Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif that the subtle points that Tees Maar Khan seems to make, come across as completely accidental.

Always Kabhi Kabhi
The lasting impact though is of only "blah". It doesn't remain the chick-flick it starts out as, nor does it execute the message it wants to put across well.

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.

I hope young India's vision is not as shallow, superficial or short-sighted.

Plot that should've been done away with in the 70s - lingers on unimaginatively and bores.

India‘s Most Wanted
Things move slowly for a thriller and not in a way that gets you concerned for your team. Doesn’t help that the slow story is dragged further with slow-motion!

Ek Villain
A revenge saga that works so hard in trying to make you feel for the characters that it fails and you are left gaping at the screen in bewilderment for over two hours.

Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai
It tries to be funny, but is barely so. It tries even harder to be sweet and romantic and ends up being yucky-mushy.

...is all about bright colours and loud noises. Expect no more than that (not even a plot) and you'll be entertained...just about enough.
