Bhoot Returns
It’s the kind of film that the phrase ‘time-pass entertainment’ was invented to describe.

English Vinglish
Making an assured debut with a light, frothy film that still has something important to say, Gauri Shinde delivers one the year's most pleasing films, and Amit Trivedi lends some of his best compositions to the soundtrack.

OMG Oh My God!
...in a sea of dumb Bollywood comedies (many starring Akshay Kumar himself), this one at least starts off a debate. For that alone, it’s not entirely a write-off.

Heroine
Bhandarkar loses his grip on the script, and it’s evident that his storytelling now desperately needs reinventing.

Barfi!
...had the potential to be great cinema, but as it stands it’s a respectable film that’s still better than a lot else you’re likely to see.

Joker
...there is stuff here that might have made for an engaging children’s film, had Kunder not fallen prey to that oldest mistake – of treating his audience like fools.

Gangs Of Wasseypur 2
If Wasseypur II has one fatal flaw, it’s the indulgence of its director, so in love with his baby that he doesn’t stop introducing pointless subplots and characters until the very end.

Jism - 2
It takes a special kind of skill to make a film as harebrained as Jism 2. To say that its script is ridden with plot holes is an understatement; the plot itself is like a big, black hole there is no coming out of.

Harud
This is an important, delicate film that asks a lot from its audience. Turn off your cell-phone and submit yourself to it; you won't be disappointed.

Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum
It's not that the humor's adult that is the issue here, it's that it doesn't make you laugh!

Gattu
It’s the kind of charming film that’ll feature on critics’ year-end lists of movies you should have watched but probably didn’t.

Cocktail
With the right ingredients in the right proportions, this might have made for a smooth concoction. But Cocktail is a mostly flat romance; one that could've done with more heart.

Ferrari Ki Sawaari
...a well-intentioned film with its heart positioned firmly in the right place. And yet, this simple-minded tale about an ordinary family chasing an extraordinary dream never quite soars.

Rowdy Rathore

Dangerous Ishhq
Ambitious but seriously flawed, the film smacks of laziness in virtually all departments, and even Karisma Kapoor's earnest performance can't save the day.
