D-Day
If you do like to watch the sort of films where Bollywood solves all India’s problems, you will like D-Day.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
The film is more tribute than tale, and its gorgeous locales, skilled cinematography and uplifting music cannot prop up its flimsy plot.

Ghanchakkar
A laboured comedy and lukewarm thriller come together to make an irritating two hours.

Raanjhanaa
...is entertaining enough at times, in the end, it feels - as a friend said - "like 7G Rainbow Colony and Kaadhal Kondein dubbed in Hindi".

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Though beautifully picturised and entertaining enough, this film is old wine in a new bottle.

Go Goa Gone
...isn’t the most original zombie film made, but it is funny enough to make a light weekend watch.

Kai Po Che!
Abhishek Kapoor’s adaptation shows what fine acting, good direction, and a well-crafted screenplay can do with a novel that I cannot imagine having been well-written.

Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola
...Bhardwaj tells the story in a style that comes close to burlesque – wacky, entertaining, and over-the-top. However, something is missing – the storytelling doesn’t bolster the concerns in the movie the way it should, and it goes downhill after the interval.

Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana
...a light-hearted feel-good film that will make you leave the cinema with a smile on your face.

Chakravyuh
While the film does indulge itself in melodrama, it chooses to place the onus on the actors, who turn in arguably career-best performances.

Student Of The Year
What I dislike most about 'Student of the Year' - and there are many things I dislike – is that it endorses teens behaving like they’re in their twenties.

Aiyyaa
While it isn’t so much a fresh idea as an idea making a comeback, it could have been well-executed if Meenakshi’s character had been fleshed out to some extent.

Heroine
...the most damning aspect of the film is that neither Kareena Kapoor’s character nor her portrayal of it elicits our empathy.

Barfi!
Every once in a while, along comes a movie that urges us to look beyond its trappings. To lose ourselves in the lives of its characters, and the simple, but powerful, emotions that touch their lives.

Joker
The only sentiment I was left with at the end of the film was, “Joker ko cinema se nikaalkar taash ki gaddi pe daalo".

Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi
With just enough sentiment, and maybe a little too much slapstick, Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi, makes for a pleasant enough weekend watch.

Gangs Of Wasseypur 2
...sustains interest with its lively pace, packed action, and brilliant repartee.

Jism - 2
If you went in prepared for a ham fest garnished with soft porn, you might actually enjoy this movie.

Cocktail
It hurtles along the same old path most of its breed do. And somehow, a film that’s sidestepped melodrama for the first hour or so, turns maudlin.

Bol Bachchan
...a tortuous trail of hamming, dancing, swearing, scratching and... of course, punning.

Maximum
...has all the right ingredients, but with several layers of extra garnish, it tastes wrong.

Gangs Of Wasseypur
...it’s a larger-than-life experience, a display of cinematic license meant for the big screen.

Shanghai
In a film that has more heavy breathing and silence than dialogue, it’s a remarkable feat of Banerjee’s to portray the corruption everyone takes for granted as such a frustrating, and yet comical, thing that affects us only when it confronts us.

Jannat 2
The film has the right ingredients in the wrong proportions. As it stands, you’ll have to depend on hecklers for entertainment.

Housefull 2
A film as vacuously funny as 'Housefull 2' is the perfect weekend break. Go watch it for the mindless fun and dancy numbers.

Blood Money
It’s one of those films which sucks when you see the end coming, and entertains when you don’t.
