Commando 3
Here’s yet another shamefully opportunistic film that plays on the bad Muslim-good Muslim divide.

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.

Damadamm
Utterly boring and confused, randomly shifting gears from the comic to the melodramatic. Go for this only if you want to be rocked to sleep.

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

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

Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum
A dull and dreary borefest rather than the laugh-a-minute sex comedy it aims to be.

Hanuman Da Damdaar
...is disappointing in not setting new standards for children’s entertainment.

Coffee With D
Sending up the media? Spoofing the underworld? Whatever it is that the filmmaker wants to do, it just doesn’t spark any interest in the viewer.

Kites
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.

Baar Baar Dekho
There are no standout performances, no scenes that can pack in an emotional wallop and the conversational dialogue turns banal beyond a point.

Dobaara
What you get in the process is very few chills and thrills but a lot of convoluted, half baked, jargon-ridden arguments that don’t add up to anything but boredom.

Sorry Daddy
There’s sheer randomness to the narrative, in fact the film is nothing more than a series of arbitrary scenes strung together.

The Blueberry Hunt
This could have been a cracker of a film to take the debate forward. But it prefers to remain hazy and tepid in a pointless world of its own.

Tera Intezaar
...is most consistent when it comes to the inherent messiness-it’s tacky in every which way, from the first frame to the last. The tawdriness reflects in every single department of filmmaking.

One Day
...everyone, from the actors to the audience, is left either direly bored or unintentionally amused.

Raaz Reboot
Nothing changes in the fourth of the Raaz franchisee. If at all the chills and thrills seem to run dangerously out of steam and some scenes turn out unintentionally funny.

Pihu
Deliberately designed, repetitive, predictable and emotionally manipulative, Pihu is cinema at its most duplicitous.

Jai Mummy Di
We just keep going round and round in a tiring, boring, humourless circle than things leaping forward with a sense of fun and urgency.

Missing On A Weekend
...is amateurishly staged and feels too long for its 113 odd minutes. A 30-minute long Crime Patrol episode on TV would have delivered something infinitely more watchable.

Great Grand Masti
Crudity, vulgarity, titillation, infantility is all one expected but also hoped against hope for it to deliver a few risqué laughs. No such luck. Banal and boring is all you get.

Sunshine Music Tours and Travels
Shailendra Singh of Percept that organises Sunburn has just used the film as an excuse for brand promotion, stringing the fest footage with an apology of a story and a non existent script.

Kuldip Patwal
If a half-baked script, sketchy situations and vague characters were not enough, the film is also marked by clutter and disarray in the telling.

Son Of Sardaar
A watch, if loud, mindless gags work for you. But how many more such comedies can we take?

Dil Juunglee
...is not a film; it’s a bunch of the most vapid characters conceivable, hanging loose, doing some monkey tricks and playing “Audience audience in the hall, who is the most irritating of us all”.
