Omerta
It's a shame really that Omerta lacks depth, never giving an insight into Omar's criminal designs. As a thriller, it's pacy and yet, distinctly half-baked and stiff.

Kajarya
It is unmistakably depressing and the documentary approach makes it feel like a drag.

Notebook
...with so much solo heavy lifting and a wobbly screenplay in tow, Kakkar delivers far short of what he is capable of.

Welcome 2 Karachi
It's an average fare which could've been far better had its meanderings been trimmed.

...doesn't aim for that depth. It's content in being pretty even when it has the potential of so much more.

Phillauri
The narrative is refreshingly written, brimming with breezy humour. But it is ironic that the haunting spirit is lacking, both metaphorically and literally speaking.

Khandaani Shafakhana
I see Dasgupta wanted to have a matured dialogue about sex without the hoopla of it but her story needed stronger legs to carry the weight of her vision.

Love Games
The oohs and aahs are limited to the pain of watching the film. This one is an opportunity lost.

A Gentleman
I miss the Raj & DK of Go, Goa, Gone, and their films where gags come flying your way fast and quick. There was a threadbare plot in that one too, but at least it was clever. This is just a snoozefest, all the way.

Thugs Of Hindostan
Undeniably, majestic movie experiences are created by filmmakers and in this one, Acharya makes a fatal mistake- he takes his audience for granted. No wonder, Thugs doesn't rise above being an absolute snoozefest.

It is hard to be generous when you are sitting through bad writing, bad acting and a lot of bad jokes.

Badmashiyaan
Though it falls short of being an incredible movie but the unique style of narration, makes it pleasantly watchable.

One Night Stand
Even with a compelling idea, One Night Stand remains singularly superficial.

Moods Of Crime
It is a pointless movie that reiterates how important crisp direction could prove for a thriller.

Rough Book
Even as you lose your heart to Rough Book's intention, you can't buy the amateurish story. The dialogues are dated, the story is predictable and the climax is sloppily done.

Full marks to the ambition, but this hotch-potch of a movie is good reminder that compelling movies are made of much more than a hit pair and a good idea.

Shorgul
Is the film gritty? No. Is it emotional? No. Is the love story worth the bloodshed? No. Is it worth your money? You know the answer.

Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi
...is a classic example of a film that was made for the wrong reasons. It banks on a half-baked ridiculous plot that plays on regionalism without wit or spark. It's particularly a shame, because the prequel was charming and delightful.
