1920 - Evil Returns
Mystery of a possessed goody-good girl builds up to a lame backstory. This is only the excuse to show some disgusting kind of gory horror.

Baaghi 3
Has the power to numb your brain to inane action, to bore you with same ol’ action, to tire you with relentless action.

No Problem
No logic, no logistics and no laughs either. And while I'm at it yes slapstick, yes loud, yes tiring, non-stop nonsense.

The biggest put-off is that grown-ups behave like juveniles when in love. They behave as if they've never heard of age-old problems like toilet seats and wet towels. Makes you wonder if the writers have experienced real life, real relationships – those outside the movie world.

Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum
Unless you know that you enjoy this kind of humor, juvenile adult comedy that is, please skip Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum.

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.

Yamla Pagla Deewana 2
...is one of those rare films that made me wonder why it was made at all.

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.

The question shouldn't be, "Is it good or not?" it should be, "How bad is it?" Action we saw in yesteryears, dialogue we have been listening to from earlier than that. The lameness of a story and its execution, of course, has been taken to a new level.

...does nothing to you. It has no material to invoke any kind of emotion from you. Except maybe for a few unintentional laughs.

The Legend of Michael Mishra
..has no substance what so ever, which is alright, right? We are used to films with no substance. Well, this one has no form either.

Bhoot Returns
With next to nothing happening in the first 70 minutes and a disgustingly horrifying last 20 minutes, Bhoot Returns pretty much yells dont watch me.

Jo Hum Chahein
An obnoxious, self-centered boy comes of age. And he cannot act. Neither can the women or men who help him come of age in their ways. And the women are a few of the most gullible ones I've seen in ages, even on screen!

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

How many more times do we have to see lovers who are too cool for love/marriage? I say, enough already.

Love Sonia
How does one evaluate a movie on lives where obvious racism feels like a secondary issue? Fragmented narrative feels trivial. At the risk of giving the movie away, what happens to lives that never get better? What do you call it? Human-degradation tourism? Thankfully hopeful? Unrealistically optimistic? Or are these phrases a viewer’s way of shirking reality because we find it uncomfortable to watch? How can you discuss performances and stories that wrench your gut, chill your spine?
