Sulemani Keeda
Finally an unpretentious indie, Sulemani Keeda, simply put, is by the filmis, of the filmis, and for everyone.

D-Day
...is what people like me wait Friday after Friday for. It does what it needs to and does not preach but leaves an impact strong enough to make you ask questions. It manages to bring out patriotism in you without the theatrics.

Margarita With A Straw
...a refreshingly, brutally honest film which ends up making the tiny mistake of adding an emotional, clichéd ending.

Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami
Extraordinarily ordinary and proud of it, Ekkees Toppon ki Salaami reminds us of the important things in life in a highly consumerist world.

Miss Lovely
...the film has achingly pleasurable performances from the cast and the brilliant sound design.

Lakshmi
The worst part of Lakshmi is that it isn’t just a story. When you come out of it, you will forever be plagued by the knowledge that evil does exist in this world and we, as a society, are only enabling it.

Main Tera Hero
...a total seeti-maar, paisa vasool film and refreshingly unpretentious.

Sooper Se Ooper
Its beautiful how something so simple, and for a change, something so positive can turn out to be a no-brainer comedy -- as opposed to the crass, racist, misogynistic and homophobic tone found in the usual fare that appears Friday after Friday in the name of entertainment.

Revolver Rani
...is perfect on paper but if it really wanted to generate that spark, it should have probably taken the character-centric route.

Shortcut Romeo
...makes up for loose ends and bizarre twists in the plot by means of sheer masala power.

Roar: Tigers Of The Sundarbans
Roar's strengths lie in the novelty of the concept and the judicious use of CGI. Sure, the special effects could have been better but compared to standards set by its contemporaries, Roar doesn't far badly.

Happy New Year
This could have been a much better film if only it had dared to move out of its comfort zone. Happy New Year is a film that’s bound to make you feel good, but trust me, the feeling won’t last.

Bobby Jasoos
Bad songs, bad subplots, shabby direction make Bobby Jasoos a very, very confused film that is slightly better than a bearable watch only because of the strong heroine and the talented cast.

Aisa Yeh Jahaan
Despite strong performances, Aisa Yeh Jahaan fails to engage due to its shaky storyline and scattered plot.

Singh Saab The Great
Although I appreciate that the makers of Singh Saab the Great tried to make a socially conscious and relevant film, they got pulled into giving a sermon instead.

Ek Paheli Leela
Though there are more flaws in the film’s execution, at the heart of it Leela is a genuinely intriguing, if slightly predictable story and the twist at the end could have been a game changer had it been played out better.

Mickey Virus
...is based on an interesting idea, the plot is good and the film is relevant at a time when cyber crime is increasing. However, with weak direction, even the best of stories cannot be told well.

Amit Sahni Ki List
Funny on the surface with faults in its execution, Amit Sahni Ki List should probably come with a warning that says 'Burn after watching'.

Tamanchey
No amount of catchy soundtrack, meticulous set design, or slick editing can save the film from the lofty, misplaced ambitions of the people entrusted with guiding it.

Ishqedarriyaan
The trouble with Ishqedarriyaan is that it isn't even bad enough to be good. It's just plain old dull.

Yeh Hai Bakrapur
Despite all of this and some praiseworthy performances by the entire cast -- Yeh Hai Bakrapur fails to live up to its early promise due to lacklustre direction.
