Rebellious Flower
...you wish the film had delved deeper and would have been far more profound in its approach. The story seems preachy in places and execution, oversimplistic.

Days of Tafree
At the end of it, just like the professors, you too want to scream at these boys, saying, "I cannot tolerate this."

Station
Ideally, this concept could have worked better for a short film or a play. Nonetheless, watch it for the nonlinear narrative.

Jaanisaar
...it's a case of cinematic self-indulgence that doesn't deserve to be compared to Ali's masterpiece Umrao Jaan.

Jigariyaa
A cliched story and sluggish pace are major drawbacks. If it wasn't for that, Jigariyaa could have been a film worth remembering.

Bumper Draw
A simple take on surviving in Mumbai and true happiness - you won't mind watching this one unless moral stories really bug you.

Dilli Gang
...an ineffective execution fails to do justice to the good intent and solid performances.

Dilli Gang
The 'idea' behind the movie can be appreciated for its novelty but it fails to develop into a full-fledged comedy of errors, which was the intention.

Samrat & Co.
The film is predominantly a formulaic 'whodunit' thriller, which aspires to be Sherlock Holmes but ends up looking like its parody.

Take It Easy
The film tries too hard to hold you emotionally. If only the makers took it easy, this one could have been a winner.

Bombairiya
...this one’s a confused, chaotic mess that lacks humour and a clear thought process of what it hoped to achieve. Complicated is not always clever.

Ishq Forever
Lack of originality and the cliche-laden script can be forgiven, provided the chemistry between the lead couple ticks. Sadly, it doesn't so the scenes fall flat.

Kahin Hai Mera Pyar
The first half drags to death, while the second lacks purpose and defies logic.

Hogaya Dimaagh Ka Dahi
As a comedy, the film fails big time. Nothing about it is intentionally or unintentionally funny.

With a relevant message but no concrete conflict, this ghar exchange program fails to hold your interest.

Zindagi 50-50
The film is full of cliches and topics that have been addressed in movies a billion times before.

Mumbai 125 KM
As horror, it partially works but as a slasher, gets too monotonous and repetitive...old wine in an old bottle.

Khamoshiyan
...you nod in affirmative to Ali Fazal's reaction when the mystery is unveiled. "What nonsense is this!" says he. You want to tell him, "Thank you for summing up the film for us.

Baa Baaa Black Sheep
It pains to see actors as brilliant as Anupam Kher, Annu Kapoor and Kay Kay Menon, being a part of this silly, loud and torturous comedy of errors that you care nothing about, eventually.

Baat Bann Gayi
Sadly, there is no comedy or entertainment either, and for a film that intends to be funny, this one ends up being tardy and way too predictable for your liking.

Hum Hai Raahi CAR Ke
...within few minutes, you realize the film has no story in the first place.
