Anjaana Anjaani
...a film full of set up situations without a real story to tell, and ends up as a slow, dragging and painful experience.

Emotional Atyachar : The Film
Though the overall production values are low, what saves the film is the sharp, non-linear story and a range of ensemble actors.

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

Madholal - Keep Walking
...a starched attempt at filmmaking, which ends up being tedious and simplistic, like a boring moral science lecture.

Aashayein
...has to be one of the most depressing, incoherent films since a long sadiyan.

Lafangey Parindey
Production design is smart, dialogues clever and cinematography sparkling, but the story never takes off and characters never connect.

Peepli [Live]
...an entertaining, original and relevant film, which tackles a serious problem with just the right touch of satire and humour. This is a slice of real cinema, raunchy, rancid and rare, and may we get more of the same please.

Aisha
Direction is a bit lacklustre, but sparkling cameos, natty styling and fresh peppy music save the film somewhat.

Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai
...he film is worth a watch, especially if you like flamboyant gangster films.

Khatta Meetha
It is stuffed with gags, set-ups and stock characters, in a silly, stunted, scattered script which is stitched up rather poorly. The film desperately tries to be funny but just ends up being very tedious.

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.

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.

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.

I Hate Luv Storys
The writing tries to be smart and fresh but ends up sounding forced and muddled, while there is no attempt at any layering.

Kites
...suffers from trying to cater to a diverse audience, Indian and international, which is the latest fad amongst the big boys of Bollywood. It’s a bit like eating makke ki roti with salsa, which may be novel, but is definitely not tasty.

Muskurake Dekh Zara
Long single takes, terrible acting, zero art direction, trite dialogue, topped with abysmal direction.

Apartment
...a very mediocre film, with neither style or substance, nor plot or purpose.

City Of Gold
Definitely worth a watch, if you like gritty, real cinema, minus the candyfloss.
