Yeh Faasley
...never comes together as a film. None of the characters or their stories really grip you, the music is forced and mediocre, while most of the proceedings look staged, even as the fuzzy story loops around itself.

Satrangee Parachute
...appears like a set-up story with a goody two shoes message at the end.

Tanu Weds Manu
...is fun in the beginning, but for the most it just drags along to a predictable end

Utt Pataang
...an unfortunate title for a film that ends up being just that, a lot of half-baked gibberish and faltu ka utt pataang.

Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji
..has its funny moments it never really gets laugh out loud, with the comic timing often missing.

Hostel
...gets a very flat, grim, unidimensional treatment from the director, which ends up making the story more morbidly filmy than dramatically real.

Dhobi Ghat
...strictly remains an art house film with limited appeal, and its subtitle, Mumbai Diaries, captures the genre of the film correctly.

Yamla Pagla Deewana
...the potboiler film has enough one-liners, item songs and action sequences to keep you kind of entertained, in a drunk, bustling Punjabi manner.

No One Killed Jessica
Sure, it's a well written, dramatic re-telling, but somewhere it becomes a bit filmy and flamboyant, which is a pity.

Toonpur Ka Superrhero
...gets its animation almost right, and the interweaving of live action is quite seamless and well executed. The film falters in its storytelling, which is hackneyed.

Isi Life Mein
...is poorly written, badly acted and very amateurishly directed, with terrible music to boot.

Tees Maar Khan
...is full of just stupid incidents zanily stitched up with elaborate songs in between.

332 Mumbai To India
...a terrible film, badly written, acted, edited, directed and produced.

Mirch
...is not spicy enough, specially since it’s from the land of Kamasutra, but considering our blinkered approach to sex, it's a welcome effort and definitely worth seeing.

No Problem
...is full of problems, without any semblance of a story or script or direction, but that would be stating the obvious.

Band Baaja Baaraat
..a fun, honestly made movie, with an engaging storyline, superb dialogue and sassy music...

Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey
While the story is fabulous, KHJJS suffers majorly in its direction. The dialogues are stilted and wordy, the screenplay is needlessly repetitive and laborious, the music is average and the background score is poor.

Allah Ke Banday
...makes an interesting start, then rapidly descends into the usual mix of guns and goons, each more bloody and violent than the other.

Break Ke Baad
...is soulful in bits, but the shabby story never ever takes off, while the direction remains average. In the end Break Ke Baad stays a pretty but boring film.

Golmaal 3
...is pretty much what it promises to be a silly comedy, idiotic enough to be enjoyed by all age groups with low entertainment expectations and high stress levels.

Daayen Ya Baayen
...a sweet, gentle film, representing another forlorn stab at independent cinema.

Rakht Charitra – I
By the end of the film, the voice over has become irritating and the violence nauseating, with everything blurring bloodily.

Jhootha Hi Sahi
...a too clever by half attempt at telling a cool, nerdy story which falls flat on its face. The clumsy film is stuffed with cardboard characters, silly set ups with corny insider jokes and a sagging story line which is stretched right from the word go.

Knock Out
...shamelessly steals the main idea, then adds its own bunch of brainwaves, ending up with a strange pastiche.
