Sahi Dhandhe Galat Bande
Parvin Dabas directs himself well. And he gets a few scenes right, but other than that his debut as a director Sahi Dhande Galat Bande doesn't engage as a film with a social message ought to.

Not A Love Story
Superlative performances hook you into a disgusting story that comes from newspapers despite RGV going even crazier with his camera and sound departments.

Aarakshan
...is, what I call, a bell-curve film. Starts shabbily, reaches a peak around mid-way and ends more shabbily than it started.

Phhir
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.

I Am Kalam
Its simplicity is works as both an advantage and a disadvantage. The easy-going narrative is a pleasant watch but too-good-to-be-true plot is distracting.

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!

Singham
Comical action, filmy dialogue, awful flow make Singham's decent concept look laughable. It tries to make a couple of points but they are lost in the "coolness" that the film wants to be.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
There is nothing profound about Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara; neither does it bring any insight that you and I don't already have from our own relationships. But, it connects from the word go.

Murder 2
It's one of those films where you come out with only the villain and what he is capable of. If you can handle creepy, sexual violence, go for it. It is sure to provide "that" kind of a thrill.

Delhi Belly
It's hip to be abusive, and it's as cool to be liberal about sex as it is to be about toilet humor. And that's exactly what Delhi Belly is - hip.

Bbuddah...Hoga Terra Baap
...brazenly declares that this is a tribute to the legend and his prime years. Once you have done that, they could have gotten away with anything. They didn't necessarily need a story or characterization. But they give you that and Amitabh Bachchan unlimited.

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.

Bhindi Baazaar Inc.
Same old underworld world. Same old violence. Same old attempt at creating value through shock.

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.

Shaitan
If it weren't for the brilliant performances, Shaitan would look like it's Director, Bejoy nambiar and producer, Anurag Kashyap's urge to sew plainly written scenes with quirky treatments.

Ready
...actually has a sort-a, kind-a coherent story. Well of course, I'm using the word coherent loosely. And story. And what-the-hell, "sort-a, kind-a" too. What I'm trying to get at is, Ready has focus.

Kucch Luv Jaisaa

Pyaar Ka Punchnama
She's a user, he's a loser. In each of the three couples. Thank goodness for some decent lines and situations that make it a decent date film.

Ragini MMS

Haunted

I Am
...is a set of strong 4 short films. Each one of them is well-made and takes you into its own little world.

Shor In The City
...is well-shot and has good performances. It also has a few well-developed, interesting characters. Yet, the plot gives a very "been there, seen that" feel.

Zokkomon
Harry Potter meets Krissh meets not-so-Home-Alone, unfortunately in a very superficial, blah sort-of a way. And yet, there is enough for the under-10s to enjoy indoors on a hot summer day.

Dum Maaro Dum
...makes a crime thriller as disinteresting as it could be. The lines are limp and the situations are far from creative. The plot is strung together with a series of events that have no flow.

Teen Thay Bhai
...embarrassing to watch. And this is despite the film being devoid of sexual humor. Just watching three great performers going from one unfunny gag into another is extremely uncomfortable.
