Baadshaho
Even as it serves up all the tricks in the commercial cinema book, it never quite connects with the audience. The thrills pan out like empty stunts without the right emotion.

Satyameva Jayate
...desperately tries very hard to sell the age-old idea of revenge and righteousness. But the big booming treatment is a little too hard to accept and digest.

Gippi
...is an unpretentious and fun film. It could’ve have been a definitive statement on teen conundrum. But it never promises to tap into the cerebral.

Mirzya
You need to deal with its overtly artistic nature with a pinch of salt. But if you have the appetite for a tragic and epic love saga, the luscious visual imagery of Mirzya will give you plenty of food for thought.

Golmaal 3
If you're a fan of Golmaal films this one's tailor made to please you. Its not as good as the second one, but definitely a good addition to the series. If you're a first time viewer, you might feel a bit under pleased. And if you don’t conform to use of slapstick and campy humour, stay away.

Joker
This isn’t a movie you recommend in film schools. This is a parody you watch to test your sense of humour.

Tum Bin 2
Even though the story feels all too familiar, the updated packaging adds a new appeal.

Paathshaala
If this film were Ukey's assignment and the producers were teachers, upon review, they should've remarked in red, 'redo'. At least I would.

Aurangzeb
Sadly, Aurangzeb isn’t the bad movie that’s so bad it becomes good. It’s an average gangster movie that packs low on action ammunition and high on predictable double crosses and character developments.

Akira
...is like any other action movie you’ve seen before, where the hero is framed and has to prove himself right. The difference here is the film’s ability to successfully tell that tale with a girl at its centre.

Bangistan
Pity, that director Karan Anshuman’s clever eye for detail and in-jokes are left in the lurch. This one could've been such a riot, it had so much promise.

Beiimaan Love
As you’d expect from a Sunny Leone movie, Beiimaan Love has a lot of onscreen seduction and romance. But all the film’s goodness is wasted on a script that’s so trite and amateur that at times it gets laughable.

Fukrey Returns
...is a sequel that wants to be bigger, better and funnier than the original. In all fairness, it does manage to fulfil its ambitions on two accounts. It is bigger, it is funnier but it's certainly not better.

Wajah Tum Ho
With so many confused aspirations, the film becomes a garish hotchpotch, an unpalatable goulash.

Force
Nishikant Kamath has made good films like Dombivli Fast and Mumbai Meri Jaan. So to see Force meander around with cinematic liberties and stereotypes is really disheartening.

Baar Baar Dekho
You can't sell a 100-year-old idea with futuristic frills. That just doesn't add up.

Guddu Rangeela
...Subhash Kapoor's film is well-made. But it's also severely flawed. His films are usually noticed for their writing and that's exactly where Guddu Rangeela falls short.
