Aladin
Sandwiched in between is a boring love story of the shy Aladin (Ritesh), and Jasmine (Jacqueline, who fills in well as the smiling wallpaper). Aladin, like Drona and Love Story 2039, is ambition gone awry.

Love Sex Aur Dhokha
...is remarkable in the way it experiments with the digicam to create a novel, audacious narrative.

The Japanese Wife
...is engaging and emotive only in parts and not profound enough to linger on in your mind.

Begins well, there are some nice moments, but the second half gets way too moralistic.

It’s anything but funny. There are hardly a couple of lines that bring the smile on.

A love story works if it can make the audience feel for the lovers. In Kites there is not an ounce of romance or passion. What is it that draws the two together? Where’s the pull, the tug? And what is it (family, caste, religion or their own inner demons) that keeps them apart? Nothing about the relationship is compelling enough.

Fails to offer a persuasive portrayal of individuals and relationships, the largely ineffective acting making a further hash of an already tenuous narrative.

It is full of endless chatter but the dialogue is inane and boring. So things get too stretched out and long-drawn.

It’s an outstanding criss-cross of relationships between three men about the house.

Khatta Meetha
Ample doses of over-the-top buffoonery and liberal sprinkling of double entendre. One of the most cringe-worthy films from Priyadarshan...

Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai
...there is not enough dramatic tension which underlined the narratives of the ’70s and ’80s, no real big scenes to remember forever.

Despite being "not too bad", it doesn't quite go beyond the lacklustre either.

Fails to measure up to what it is inspired from — the most famous 'death' film, Anand.

The regressive, "you can't be a good woman unless you are a good mom" ideology is difficult to buy.

The film held the promise of churning the masalas to the core but stops well short of it. The real film itself has little more to offer than its own trailer.

...a self-assured directorial debut, a fine slice of Delhi life, despite being marred by a muddled ending.

A ludicrous thriller which makes you laugh at its stupidities, plotholes and implausibilities.

Startlingly flaccid and boring. Instead of making you feel for the characters, it leaves you disengaged and disinterested.

Action Replayy
Bhansali's painterliness wreaks havoc on the subject. The visual excesses distract from the basic emotions. You don’t feel for the central character.

No Problem
...the characters, plot, gags, jokes, dialogues, just about nothing makes you smile, leave alone laugh. Besides, some significant scenes get uncomfortably racist and downright sexist.
