Zindagi 50-50
...makes a brave but half-hearted effort to depict the dark cruelty that surrounds ordinary lives of three women. It fails miserably as sleaze -- of language as well as skin -- overtakes the proceedings.

Zindagi 50-50
The film fails miserably in its intent if the intent were to spoof Bollywood, as it only does that for the sake of punchlines and does not explore it better.

The Ghazi Attack
...if you love watching a war movie, that too about a mission that is mired under the weight of being 'classified' and under the sea, the truth about which can surface only exploring the depth of the sea bed, then The Ghazi Attack is a must watch film.

Tera Intezaar
There is nothing in the film to keep you hooked. No story. No direction. No continuity. No dialogues. Nothing.

Shaadi Ke Side Effects
...opens on this contrived note and meanders for an over-stretched 145 minutes, full of twists and turns, that one has come to so famously associate with soaps produced by Balaji.

Satyagraha
...one comes out with a feeling that Jha might have outsourced his job to somebody who was under no compulsion to do justice to his audience as well as to the film's superstar-cast.

Sab Kushal Mangal
Kashyap's adept handling of the film in the first half and most of the second does not justify the manner in which the film ends.

Raees
...takes you for a boring ride, trying to soak the gangster's character in filmi spiel that is so typical of Bollywood's masala films when the film's creators realise that the plot is absolutely lame.

Race 2
Tightly done action sequences, lots of glamour and one liners that cater to the classes and the masses is what makes Race 2 worth a watch.

Phamous
One feels for the classy cast -- all of them -- for being part of a film that has neither substance nor sense nor a story line.

Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi
Kapur and Rawal complement each other well and we would like to see them come together more often. They are the only reason to make PKPS a strictly one-time watch.

Nasha
The ‘erotic’ love story belongs to the film’s teeny boppers, especially Sahil, whose innocence, infatuation and vulnerability keeps you glued to your seat for the two hours it lasts.

Mubarakan
The Bazmee-Chahal-Janjua-Chawla quartet prove very convincingly that comedies need not always be about slapstick; that there is more to comedy films than vulgar gestures and crass jokes. That clean dialogues, written sensibly, entertain and charm the movie-goers.

Monsoon Shootout
Had director Kumar given his characters more time and writer Varma fleshed them out Monsoon Shootout would have been a wonderful cinematic experience.

Mastram
Director Akhilesh Jaiswal, who wrote Gangs of Wasseypur, seems unable to make up his mind as to how to firmly hold the narrative in his directorial debut Mastram.

Kuchh Bheege Alfaaz
But the cake, as well as its icing, is Onir's deft direction. The man has got what it needs to make films that are sensible, thought-provoking and entertaining at the same time.

Khajoor Pe Atke
...is a half baked satire on the selfish us that only partly exposes the darkness that lurks within every family.

Jayanta Bhai Ki Luv Story
The problem with JKLS is that it ties not only the audience but also the actors of the film in a tight knot of which neither the plot nor performances, except Oberoi's, help to break out of.

Irada
Blame it on the director for Irada's sloppy editing, the film fails to hold your undivided attention.
