Dil Dhadakne Do
There is hardly any takeaway from Dil Dhadakne Do and its characters are not likely to stay with you for long.

Rocky Handsome
...a very average film with some finely executed action sequences on display.

Indu Sarkar
While the film was publicised as a film “on Emergency”, it actually oscillates between a political drama and a typical Bollywood film about a couple. Unfortunately, the transition between the two narratives is neither smooth nor convincing.

Bas Ek Tamanna
...could be praised for its progressive script. The integrity and community feeling of Lucknow is captured well but the director could have avoided the futile debate about polygamy.

Jab Harry Met Sejal
From the title to its climax, everything screams ‘been there, done that.’

Rangoon
Within minutes of the movie’s beginning, you realise the promise of a heart-wrenching period drama was a farce -- a set-up to promote a self-indulgent film that doesn’t know what it wants to be.

Tamanchey
The writing lacks depth. The scenes get immersed into each other just at the point where the characters start emerging.

Married 2 America
...an average fair but it has done a good job by focussing on a real issue.

Sanam Re
To be fair with the team of Sanam Re, it’s not a bad watch. It’s not a great watch either.

Qaidi Band
...brings up a new concept and offers some wonderful songs, but that’s about it. It remains an average story told in an average way.

Soorma
...doesn’t attempt to probe beyond the obvious, even if you don’t know the real story. With 131-minute duration, Soorma presents Sandeep as the ultimate boy scout. A tinge of reality wouldn’t have hurt.

Baadshaho
...has too many ordinarily written characters jostling for whistle-worthy one-liners for 136-minutes. Eventually they run short of the steam and Baadshaho becomes a rehashed ‘90s story with some gloss and a lot of disappointment.

Bumboo
...a film made with good intentions but somehow the makers couldn't transform the original idea onto the celluloid.

Veerappan
... has pace and a narrative technique which may give you a glimpse of RGV’s old charm. But, the mojo isn’t completely back yet.

Chhodo Kal Ki Baatein
...doesn't boast of stars but Pramod Joshi cares to use the medium of cinema for a good cause. The subject is complex but it has the potential to make you think.

Shakal Pe Mat Ja
...a mixture of crass comic sequences where the audience should not look for any sensible content. Watch it if you are a habitual film viewer and would not mind laughing in bits.

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo
...Elephants, camels, palaces, exotic dishes and soft background score can’t make you happy. You need a family in order to be happy. So true, but isn’t it a bit stretched statement to make through a 174-minute film?

Krishna Aur Kans
With good production values, ‘Krishna Aur Kans’ is childish but enjoyable, but you really need to avoid the lack of excellence in animation.

Vodka Diaries
...is about under-utilised actors and losing a promising opening. It probably needed a more thorough approach.

Maatr
...Raveena alone couldn’t save a thin storyline, and Maatr is just another run-of-the-mill revenge saga.

Policegiri
The dialogue writers put their heart and soul in coming up with catchy one-liners and they evoke laughter occasionally but KS Ravikumar's inexperience in handling the Hindi film audience obstructs their efforts.

Bang Bang!
There can be only two thought processes as far as the director Siddharth Anand is concerned. Either he believes that huge promotional drive will sell his half-baked product or the audience is actually full of people who believe Knight And Day is a good film.

Tutiya Dil
The director has left no stone unturned to make 'Tutiya Dil' a good watch but bad acting has hampered his chances.

Hero
Then who's the real hero of this 131-minute film? Salman Khan. Why? Haven't you heard his soulful number 'main hoon hero' yet?

Junooniyat
Gulshan Devaiah and the cinematography by Attar Singh Saini are the two good things going for the movie, but do little to salvage the bad script.
