Dozakh
Dozakh could have been a lot more in the hands of a more seasoned or skilled director. As a rough edit attempt at adaptation, this one is simply a onetime watch at best.

NH10
...a tale which is brave, unconventional and perhaps even necessary. And best of all, it is a highly entertaining, edge of the seat thriller with many twists, turns and jolts to have a lasting impact.

Badmashiyaan
It's a real shame that Badmashiyaan is a second-rate Bollywood film with a cast boasting of virtually unknown and largely non-talented actors, because it really isn't as bad as one would think.

Dum Laga Ke Haisha
...is one of the most realistic stories to come from Bollywood. It's keeps things simple, never resorting to any gimmicks to keep its audience feeling good.

Ab Tak Chhappan 2
This essentially pointless yet not unwatchable cop film with a severe Ramu hangover has one redeeming quality - Patekar.

Shamitabh
...this is one movie where the performances of the lead actors are so dazzling and mesmerising that they camouflage the huge flaws in the film's writing and pace and make Shamitabh a delightfully delicious character-study which may have many moments that leave you speechless.

Baby
...is one of the best spy thrillers to come from Bollywood in recent times. Not only is it fun and entertaining, it is also smart and fast-paced.

Dolly Ki Doli
The writing is non - existent and even for a happy romcom, there are far too many plotholes and an immense butchering of logic.

Alone
An assault to every sense, director Bhushan Patel tries every trick in the book to make the wafer thin script even remotely terrifying.

Crazy Cukkad Family
With dialogues that lack any punch, and a screenplay where essentially nothing is happening for long periods of time, this one is a complete dud.

I
The technological brilliance and aesthetic understanding of Shankar is clearly still there and that is one thing we can't take away from I, but the one thing that could keep you hooked is more sincere performance than a genuinely compelling story point.

PK
...more than a scathing satire, it is best to take it on face value as an entertainer that is all heart revolving around real people who you want to root for, which is really what counts. Hirani leaves the best of 2014 for the last.

Main Aur Mr. Riight
the only name that emerges victorious is Sobti's, who is definitely Mr. Right. But with grave flaws that make the film almost unbearable, even he can't save this love story from turning into a dud story.

Ungli
...does fall short of expectations because of a sketchy plot and a laughable back story, teamed with a pointless culmination and some very cringe worthy dialogues by Milap Zaveri, but it's entertaining while it lasts.

Zid
...it's a passable attempt because it starts off well and keeps you engaged at certain intervals.

Happy Ending
...a more than better attempt at the genre that makes us go weak in the knees. But its not bloated, not sentimental. It's witty, it's smart, it's more comedy than romantic comedy, and it features an ensemble of lovable and whimsical yet strangely familiar characters that make real life seem less dreary.

Kill Dil
Despite its predictability, some fun elements and novel techniques in storytelling, make it a a fun-time watch while it lasts.

Chaar Sahibzade
...is probably a great DVD buy (when it does come out on home video) to educate your kids on truly rooted story about love, courage and loyalty. I would have enjoyed it more in traditional 2D animation or live action format.

Rang Rasiya
...falls a bit short of being a masterpiece, but it's still a stunning visual treat while it lasts.

The Shaukeens
...emerges as a one-time watch, a less than underwhelming follow up to Abhishek Sharma's pathbreaking debut film. But the Khiladi keeps it afloat enough to not seem like a complete waste of time.

Super Nani
...is a film which may have worked 20 years ago, but today its a no-brainer where it stands against its more superior contemporaries like English Vinglish.

Sonali Cable
The film had potential to be something almost ground-breaking. But all it does is shatter the hopes of the small audience it caters to.

Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami
...a wholesome entertainer with a good story, great comedy and brilliant performances. But most importantly, the emotional core of the film really transcends the screen and makes its way into your heart.

Bang Bang!
Instead of being smart and slick, it is wrongfully Indianized by sentimental bullshit.

Haider
For trying something new even with every literary adaptation, this one is certainly worth watching over and over again.

Balwinder Singh... Famous Ho Gaya
...is meant to be a brainless, mindless entertainer but it seems more like a pointless entertainer.
