...may, like so many other shrill, gory actioners of the recent past, end up make pots of money. But that will not take away from the fact that it is egregiously turgid.

Junglee
It would of course be too much to expect subtlety and other niceties from a turgid movie that cannot even do justice to the pack of pachyderms that it employs in order to acquire heft.

Yamla Pagla Deewana 2
...its attempts to pass off lunacy as a humour simply do not have the force to hold such a long film together.

Ramaiya Vastavaiya
Watch Ramaiya Vastavaiya only if you have the stomach for unbridled lunacy.

Housefull 3
...mindless tale, often hitting dead-ends from where there can be no return to sanity.

Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai
... is this a film? Not by a long shot. Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai is more an endurance test, a lumbering mess that wanders all over the place both literally and figuratively, hobbling along in no particular direction.

Motichoor Chaknachoor
Give Motichoor Chaknachoor a miss if you value your time - and sanity.

Yaariyan
...talks about a whole lot of other things – friendship, trust, patriotism, race attacks and tolerance – but makes no sense at all.

Welcome 2 Karachi
Indeed, not a shred of Welcome 2 Karachi, erstwhile Rohit Shetty assistant Ashish R Mohan's second film, is remotely welcoming.

Hate Story 3
Hate would be a completely wasted emotion here. Do yourself a favour and just ignore Hate Story 3.

Guest Iin London
It is an excruciatingly painful, abjectly misshapen creature that stomps about absolutely aimlessly.

Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas
...lacks the freshness that one would expect from a film with a new romantic pair. The reason is obvious: the plot is as old, but not as sturdy, as the hills.

The Legend of Michael Mishra
This film is a shoddily packaged cock-and-bull yarn that makes as little sense as an alligator waltzing on an autobahn.

Pagalpanti
...does deliver something akin to the madhouse that it promises but its loony-bin approach to hilarity is too dated to be effective.

Kismet Love Paisa Dilli
The makers of KLPD might as well, as a statutory warning, have added another letter to the title to denote ASSAULT. Yes, this wannabe comic thriller is an all-out assault on the senses.

Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2
...does pretty much the same, but the novelty has worn off and it is saddled with an insufferably inept screenplay.

O Teri
The film, all 107 minutes of it, is a full frontal assault that gives the audience no options at all. The only emotion it arouses is disgust.

Genius
...no amount of flag-waving and chest-thumping can deflect from the fact that Genius is an unspeakably shoddy film.

Wedding Pullav
Bland and unenticing, Wedding Pullav is a concoction that is too stale and sloppy to tingle even the least evolved of cinematic taste buds.

Coolie No.1
...does not take into account that the world has changed since the David Dhawan-Govinda combo churned out hit after hit with their mad capers. The formula that yielded dividends all those years ago no longer does.

Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum
The film is ostensibly targeted at the teen segment and it might even find some takers there. But it barely passes muster as a sex comedy. It’s crude, crass and completely clueless.

Nanu Ki Jaanu
...a heavy-handed jumble that is both horrific and funny, neither of which is remotely intentional.

Bombairiya
...is a tangled mess, neither funny nor engaging. It's a comedy of errors all right - more errors than comedy. Be warned, don't even think of sitting through it. Torture isn't funny.

Everybody involved with this film deserves a break. The audience certainly does.
