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.

Ek Tha Tiger
...ends up being a regular love story with a national angle and will in all likelihood be underwhelming for the fans.

Mohenjo Daro
The least Mohenjo Daro could have done is awe you with its scale. Well, It doesn't. Save a few action pieces the film has nothing to enamor you.

Pyaar Impossible
Though they had enough maturity to touch upon some very valid issues revolving around love, it's a shame that it translates into a highly typical screenplay with the lousiest dialogues there could be!

Tell Me O Kkhuda
A bland narrative of a girl on the look for her biological parents. And as the film progresses the story keeps getting more and more ridiculous.

Gori Tere Pyaar Mein
A cut-and-dry romantic comedy which half-heartedly tries to do more.

Zubaan
Confused. Both me and the film. Is it a coming-of-age story masked as a family drama or a family drama masked as a coming-of-age story?

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.

Daddy
If this film was made to invoke sympathy for a man who might wrongfully be in prison today, it didn't really do much in that direction. Lacking balance, it just might have pushed the audience, that can be bothered to care, even further in the other direction.

Zero
Breaks my heart to not like a film that treats disability and abnormality with such forthrightness. How I wish everything else in the film wasn’t so disconnected.

Hum Tum Shabana
All the adjectives, all the phrases, all the cliches of the not-so-kind kind that apply to a mindless comedy, apply to Hum Tum Shabana.

Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi
A frustrating watch. A disgusting experience. Not just because of the toilet humor. But more, because you just can't get over the "How could SUCH an awful film be made?" feeling even after an hour of having watched the film.

Chance Pe Dance
...if the characters are going to behave like you'd expect them to, and if they are going to spout lines, ad verbatim what's playing in your mind, the story is bound to be predictable. There's no attempt to deviate from the norm.

Mirzya
Pretends to be intense. Pretends to be romantic. Pretends to be enigmatic. Pretends to be Shakespearean – how can it be without the complexity or the tragedy.

Dabangg 2
...increases the dose of wannabe Rajnikanth, only this time around the serving feels lukewarm. But that means nothing to the Saman-fan now, does it?

Besharam
Yet another of those insipid, loud, occasionally-crass films that go under the garb of masala entertainment.

Humshakals
It is insensitive at multiple levels, yet it is borderline "not as bad as I thought". And then of course, it goes into one bad sub-plot after another till you are sick and tired of it all.

Housefull 3
For what it's worth, I'd consider it a positive that I didn't find it too much of a torture.

Radhe
The film is not supposed to be taken seriously, and not to be reviewed seriously for sure.

Singh Saab The Great
Honest man versus corrupt system. As novel as that one gets, only louder when we thought it wasn't possible.

Veere Di Wedding
Tries too hard to be cool and “contemporary”, comes across as superficial instead.

The Accidental Prime Minister
It is almost like you are paying to watch an advertisement about someone you are not interested in. No, it’s not about Dr. Singh, that would actually be very interesting. This one is an “I, me, myself” on and almost completely by Sanjaya Baru.
