The Dark Side Of Life: Mumbai City
...is chaotic, haphazard. The drama is a sum total of everything and that's where it goes completely wrong.

Hotel Milan
Other than the novelty of the central plot, nothing really works in favour of director Vishal Mishra’s ‘Hotel Milan’.

Pihu
This unusual thriller has all the elements you'd expect from a film that can attain cult status. In all fairness, the story does throw up a few nail-biting moments, too. But the inconsistent writing and direction by Vinod Kapri robs the movie of its desired impact.

Jack And Dil
Unless these three otherwise bearably good artistes have big debts to clear, I don’t see a reason as to why anyone in their right minds would say yes to a chaotic rom-com like ‘Jack & Dil’.

FryDay
The script of ‘FryDay’ drags on for a little too long and the humour showcased in the film, isn’t even at par with what the trailer promised to deliver.

Pakhi
Goes without saying that this social drama was made with a noble intent, but director Sachin Gupta could have turned it into a hard-hitting film on this glaring issue had it not been for those novices of actors and a loosely written script.

III Smoking Barrels
...tries, but fails to depict the territory in its entirety or even do justice to the issues North-East is grappling with.

Redrum
...this horror/thriller/romance is the kind of mental torment that not even our worst enemies should be forced to endure.

Nawabzaade
The writing is cliché and seems hastily assembled. Jayesh Pradhan has tried to pull off another bromance this year with ‘Nawabzaade’ but his take on the subject is so ho-hum that it goes haywire right from the word go.

Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain
The problem is not with acting or cinematography, it is the script that makes what could have been an exceptional tale of loss of love, a run-of-the-mill Bollywood masala flick.

The Past
...is clichéd and offers nothing that fans of the genre haven’t seen a million times before. This dreary Bollywood horror movie does not merit any sort of attention.

Hamne Gandhi Ko Maar Diya
The intent is good and so are the actors in it. But, the script and direction, especially cinematography, is below average.

Nirdosh
While the glam quotient was in place, acting, direction and story clearly were not.

The Window
Young director VK Choudhary sets out to tell the tale of a revolutionary, but tries to fit in too many exemplars along the way. Acting works, the story doesn't.

Tu Hai Mera Sunday
For anyone who feels burdened and bogged down by life, this light-hearted tale of uncertainty and survival is a definite watch.

Indu Sarkar
If you are not a hyper-nationalist or an ardent fan of pressure groups, if you cannot tolerate apartheid in the name of politics, regardless of which party you support, this Madhur Bhandarkar scrapbook straight from the 1970s is for you.

Anaarkali Of Aarah
The film does have its moments of sheer brilliance, specially in the humour department. But its adamancy with the narrative technique and unnecessary inclusion of minutest of details spoils the game.
