Bas Ek Tamanna
...this one is so full of melodrama, and takes so long to come to the point, it almost enervates you with its tedium.

332 Mumbai To India
...the film is a flat narration of an event with no attempt at character building and dramatic rendering.

Bbuddah...Hoga Terra Baap
Tries way too hard and as a result feels more desperate than delicious.

Aao Wish Karein
The attempt is to create a desi Big, but Aftab's no Tom Hank's and Mr Baretto's no Penny Marshal.

Dus Tola
The problem with Dus Tola is its archaic story which simply doesn't connect with the new age audience.

Damadamm
While Himesh remains an excellent music director, his acting skills will always remain largely a one-man belief: his own.

A Strange Love Story
...an old-fashioned tale about spooks and spirits that takes so long to unfold, you lose patience, attention, interest...

F.A.L.T.U
The problem with F.A.L.T.U lies in its tone. It doesn't know whether to unfold as a full blown comedy or take itself seriously by providing some gyan on the education system.

..neither a feminist tale nor a slice of mythology. So much so, the film backfires both ways...

Kaalo
...the horror exists only as long as Kaalo stays out of the frame as an ominous presence in the backdrop. Once the apparition flies into the frame, the fear ironically flees because Kaalo seems to be having a bad make-up day.

Kushti
Rajpal Yadav...manages to get a lot of film makers who are willing to weave films around him... Sometimes he manages to carry them off and sometimes he slips. Here, he just manages to maintain some ground beneath his slippery feet. But only some.

Benny and Babloo
Too moralistic, too judgmental, Benny and Babloo doggedly treads the trodden path, filling you with viewer fatigue.

Mittal v/s Mittal
Well-intentioned, yes, but too straight, too talkative and too flag-waving...

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

Time for the singer-composer-actor to take up something that suits both his age and his newfound style.

Nakshatra
...a bit of romance juggled with a bit of action here to create a run-of-the-mill thriller which takes so much time to rev up, it leaves you restless.

Shakal Pe Mat Ja
...the film is funny, only in bits and parts and mostly remains an amateur attempt at making a comedy.

Muskurake Dekh Zara
...everybody on screen just keeps talking and talking and talking. And what's more irritating is the fact that you can't get a hang of what they are actually debating, discussing, questioning, stating...'coz nothing makes sense in the melee of nonsense that explodes across the screen...
