Yeh Faasley
The film does show flashes of substance and form, but there's a whole lot of flab that renders it formless.

Yeh Dooriyan
A brave attempt, Yeh Dooriyan needed a dash of polish and a healthier dose of story.

Yamla Pagla Deewana
The film is meant to showcase the Deol charisma. And that it manages to do, despite a clumsy first-half and a stodgy script.

Well Done Abba
The film is a sheer delight, with the events unfolding in a breezy, comic vein which keeps the ribs relentlessly tickling. But what's more alluring are the colourful characters and the multi-layered approach to the problems of a village which becomes a microcosm of the entire nation.

We Are Family
You end up squeezing a lot of wet tissues -- specially in the second half -- by the time the movie ends and walk out with a leaden heart.

Veer
...there's nothing left to hold your attention in this prolonged misadventure that loses a lot due to a tardy screenplay, a headless script and an old-fashioned direction.

Utt Pataang
Intermittently interesting, Utt Pataang has a problem of plenty. You've seen this so many times in experimental gangster noir.

Tum Milo Toh Sahi
Director Kabir Sadanand picks up a simple story and tells it well. And as he does, he touches upon the new trend of the common-man-as-crusader which seems to have taken India by storm currently.

Toonpur Ka Superrhero
Generously sprinkled with easily identifiable characters and a story that reiterates the need for families to bond and good to prevail over evil -- sweet, simple, succinct kiddy themes...

Toh Baat Pakki
...may not be as riveting as the 80s entertainers, yet it rides high on sheer nostalgia. Also, it presents a different kind of cinema in an age that lays great emphasis on high decibel, larger-than-life drama.

Thanks Maa
...is a film that will make you cry and laugh, even as it fills you with admiration and warmth for the next decrepit kid you see on the red light, running nose et al.

Tell Me O Kkhuda
Now why must Hema chose to re-make her first forgettable directorial venture, Dil Aashna Hai with daughter Esha? Surely she deserves better.

Teen Thay Bhai
...a half-blown venture where there are too many theatrics and too many loosely edited scenes to allow the film to unfold as an uninterrupted laugh riot.
