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.

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.

Well Done Abba
...a sweet, whimsical political satire, quite a rare breed in Bollywood.

We Are Family
...has a weepy, forced, set-like air about it, with poorly translated dialogue and pre-packaged situations.

Veer
...doesn’t have is any kind of a script or a director, forget about any other related sense or sensibility. The film is a brutal assault on all your senses...

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.

Udaan
...is real and sharp, the story telling brisk despite the silences, the nuanced music fits in well, and the debutant director displays a sure, deft hand.

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.

Toh Baat Pakki
...just leaves us, the audience, forever expected to be the suckers. So the film can be safely avoided, yeh baat toh pakki hai.

The Japanese Wife
Aparna Sen has taken a difficult subject and created a lyrical, rooted film, full of tender moments, whimsy and pathos.

Thanks Maa
...a brave effort, which deserves your support. Go see it for the street kids, the ones we avoid all day long.

Tere Bin Laden
...a delightful little gem of a film, based on an unbelievable premise, but treated with just the right mix of straight-faced gravity and furiously oddball humour.

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

Teen Patti
...a slick and stylish film with many stars, fancy styling, big budget but little substance and very convoluted logic. Part of the film is in English, part of it is in algebra and the rest seems gobbledygook.

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

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

Road, Movie
...literally mixes the perils of an untravelled road with the magic of cinema, making it the kind of niche movie one loves at film festivals, but hesitates to buy a ticket for.

Road to Sangam
Though its heart is in the right place, Road to Sangam is simplistic and preachy.

Right Yaaa Wrong
...a fairly interesting story, except that the average direction and clumsy casting quite lets it down.

Red Alert
Though the base material remains gripping, Red Alert is a bit slow in patches, with the complex Naxal issue getting a slightly filmy treatment.

Rann
...instead of a sharp well-nuanced expose with fresh insights, we get just another Rann of the mill Bollywood movie, suitably rehashed.

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

Prince
...a mindless mishmash of various superhero and caper films mixed with a Don like amnesia track and Bond inspired action sequences, all served up Bollywood style.
