...a valiant effort. If only, it had avoided the trappings of a few clichés.

AK vs AK
Meta has a certain charm. But the tell-don’t-show climax that is typical of thrillers is a put-off. Even so, it is an interesting watch for how the medium is used.

Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani
A rom-com that is half-baked comedy and a quarter-baked romance.

Ajab Gazabb Love
True to its name, Ajab Gazabb Love show cases an amazingly weird (not in a good way) love story which is juvenile, regressive and mocks at poverty when the attempt, I assume was to sensitize.

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

Aiyaary
A decent thriller with a valid crux that could've engaged much better if it weren’t so slow. You’re left with too much time figure out the loopholes in the twists and turns.

Aisha
Director, Rajeshree Ojha has decent intentions but Aisha fumbles and stumbles downhill.

Airlift
A dusty desert wrought with equal measure of humanity and inhumanity. A film that shows you both facets without making much ado about either. Ought to be watched because these 'too good to be true' events are true.

Agent Vinod
An almost 3-hour long, slick chase sequence that gets exasperating by the end.

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
The film slices and dices emotional relationships in many, many ways. Watch but please not with cynical unromantics.

Action Replayy
...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.

Action Jackson
145 minutes of super-stylish action. There is about 10 minutes worth of story somewhere in there. But, does that really matter? And does it count that it doesn't matter?

ABCD - Any Body Can Dance - 2
Lots of great hip-hop moves. If you are looking for story, move on.

ABCD - Any Body Can Dance

Aazaan
...a well-stylized action thriller. However, its punctuated by tiring romance. What could've been a gripping drama, stretches too long and outstays its welcome by just that bit.

There is hint of a soul and as fate would have it, the hope dies as the post interval period starts.

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

A Gentleman
Comedy, action, romance – An above average entertainer in each of those elements. But, put together it becomes just about average.

A Flying Jatt
A preachy school play that could have meant more. A film that will get “well-intended, heart in the right place” nominations.

3 Idiots
...little more slapsticky than the Munnabhai series, the crass humor seems to be with a purpose. What remains fascinating is the blend of comedy with his social messages, as usual.

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.

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.

102 Not Out
...the movie is a weird mix of concepts, and social and philosophical messages. A little bit of Anand, a little bit of Baghbaan, a little bit of cringe at having named those two films in one line. It becomes as much about letting go, as it is about a parent-child relationship and leaves you bored with both.
