Bhindi Baazaar Inc.
There are moments when things seem to be looking up and it appears as if Bhindi Baazaar has finally found its footing. But it never does. All that is left eventually is a residue of aimless, incomplete bits.

Pappu Can't Dance Saala
...an average film with some decent performances but it is an honest effort as compared to the recent flood of no-brainers

Dulha Mil Gaya
Mudassar in text-book fashion introduces his characters in the first 30 minutes and then for the next two hours, the film keeps plodding its way towards a dreary, predictable end.

Raaz 3
Is there something worse than an outright plagiarist? Perhaps someone unoriginal who doesn't realise the limits of their own skill? That is something Vikram Bhatt should seriously consider before he decides to let loose another half baked, corpse-like aatma on us.

Bumm Bumm Bole
...is an 'official' adaptation of the award winning Iranian film Children of Heaven. With the screenplay firmly in place and a master director such as Priyadarshan at the helm, one would not be wrong to expect a sweet kiddie film which both entertains and enthralls. Unfortunately that doesn't happen.

Zokkomon
...a lackluster script and an overdose of cliched situations turn this film into one more 'preachy affair'.

...fails at reviving the age old haunted-house premise, bringing nothing new to the platter.

Tell Me O Kkhuda
Thanks maybe to the amateurish storyline, Esha comes across as a juvenile delinquent rather than a young woman searching for her roots.

Paathshaala
Everything about the film is one-dimensional. The school itself is a set and looks like a cardboard cut-out. The characters are all good or all bad; there are no shades of grey.

Ekk Deewana Tha
...is the Hindi remake of Gautham Menon's Tamil film Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya which was a huge commercial hit. Somewhere, something obviously got lost in translation.

Mittal v/s Mittal
There have been many films made on rape and sexual violence. Most of them hope that depiction of violence will help to titillate the audience. Mittal Vs Mittal also sets out with this objective but the audience is more likely to get repulsed than titillated.

We Are Family
...falls into the same genre of films such as Ta Ra Rum Pum or Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic which are purportedly about kids but it's the same melodramatic mush being dished out in a new wrapper.

Prince
All in all, this film is best avoided. Even Vivek Oberoi's ardent fans must give it a miss. They may no longer be his fans at the end of three hours.

Hum Tum Shabana
...a rudderless ship which simultaneously endeavors to straddle many genres. And fails miserably.

Hello Darling
...needs to be avoided at all costs. Unless of course gnashing your teeth and wasting your money on mindless, tedious comedy is your favourite hobby.
