Raat Gayi Baat Gayi
Don't go looking for a desi flavour of the screwball comedy, The Hangover and you might just enjoy this slightly heady potion too.

Land Gold Women
Well acted, well scripted, the film is a sensitive indictment of honour killings.

For Real
...a completely non-filmy approach to story-telling and character-building and you have a film that scores well on the freshness and reality quotient.

Mirch
Even as the women seem to be enjoying themselves with their unbridled expression of their sexual needs, the film tends to view them as the traditional not-to-be-trusted temptress. Overlook that and you can enter a world where women indeed are full-bodied flesh and blood characters.

Pyaar Impossible
Nothing stupendous here. Just a sweet and soppy flavour with a picture-perfect Priyanka: Watchable.

Lafangey Parindey
A little more verve however would have gone a long way in energising the show.

Ladies VS Ricky Bahl
...there is no humour, no earthy flavour, no tingling chemistry between the lead pair...

Badmaash Company
...may not be as buoyant as Bunty aur Babli, the original badmash couple in recent cinema, but it does make for some merry viewing.

Anjaana Anjaani
The director chooses to use the format of a road movie to weave his romantic story. Only, the road seems to be a bit long and too straight. There aren't too many twists and turns in this cross-country cruise; and the ones that are there, are quite-quite predictable.

Shaapit
The film works not so much due to its story. Rather, it's the way Vikram Bhatt tells his story -- with a certain polish and pizzazz -- that draws you in.

Haunted
...if the film works -- and it works quite well -- is only because of the special effects of the film.

Aashayein
Don't go looking for popcorn stuff and Aashayein is sure to hold your attention with its gentle grace and dignity.

Shahrukh Bola Khoobsurat Hai Tu
The film does have a few rough edges and needs a bit of editing. But it exudes a sense of novelty that keeps the moments ticking.

Patiala House
Watch this family drama for its redefinition of patriotism in a going-global age, dominated by the growing Indian diaspora.

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan
It is the verve factor which works admirably for the film which doesn't have much to boast about in the story department.

Lanka
It is the length of the film and its somewhat laboured tenor which works against it. A bit of pruning and editing would have worked favourably for it.

Bumm Bumm Bole
...is fine vacation fare for the family and presents a viable alternative to parents who are looking for meaningful tween entertainment in a boom-boom age.

Not A Love Story
...an interesting study of the darker and more devious spots of friendly neighbourhood types.

Miley Naa Miley Hum
Don't really go looking for logic or something new in here. And don't even go looking for some high end drama.

Chance Pe Dance
A better scripted, less cliched second half would have surely given the film a better chance to dazzle and shake.

Paathshaala
...the emotional quotient and the topicality of the film keep the interest running. Go for some serious viewing.

Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?
...is quite unlike the hysterical laugh acts that have been trying terribly hard to make you laugh in recent Bollywood. More of a chuckle-and-a-smirk drama...
