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

Ek Paheli Leela
The painfully pointless Ek Paheli Leela is a full-blown cinematic conundrum whose depth is inversely proportional to the geneorus decolletage that is on show.

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.

Namaste England
...one more film of this quality and the careers of Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra could be in grave jeopardy.

Chitkabrey
Chitkabrey, which redefines cock-and-bull with gay abandon, is quite a test. Go for it only if you are a sucker for tedium.

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

Chalk N Duster
For intention, Chalk N Duster might get full marks, but the execution is so hopelessly ham-fisted that the film can only be described as an absolute botch-up.

Manikarnika
...is agonizingly soulless. Platitudes piled upon synthetic platitudes do not add up to great cinema, especially when none of the film's war cries delivers any bang for its buck.

Shorgul
Explosive theme, damp-squib filmmaking: that, in a nutshell, is the story of Shorgul.

Housefull 4
Only the very-easy-to-amuse moviegoers will find it funny enough to engage with its crazy, crass convolutions.

Madam Chief Minister
...is a misfire that makes a great deal of noise without making much sense.

Jabariya Jodi
...a film that appears to have been made under duress by a group of people playing blind man's buff, is a big splotch of utter nonsense.

Joker
...is a crude joke of a film that will leave you in tears unless you have a stomach strong enough to digest such unmitigated junk.

Calendar Girls
Slapdash and sanctimonious, Calendar Girls is a stunner, but for all the wrong reasons. It is stunning in its sheer stupidity.

Entertainment
...is unabashedly asinine and delivers anything but what the title promises.

Dirty Politics
...a messy affair that reeks of all-round mediocrity despite the presence in the cast of actors of the calibre of Om Puri and Naseeruddin Shah.

Zila Ghaziabad
The film unleashes such a merciless, ceaseless and mindless onslaught on the senses and the eardrums that it could actually put the assault rifles of the most trigger-happy of crime lords in the shade.

Sanam Teri Kasam
...is neither a believable romantic yarn nor are its stabs of stupidity within the realms of the passable.

Notebook
Can picture-postcard images paper over misshapen pockmarks left on a film by a pair of rough-on-the-edges new actors finding their tentative way through a sloppy screenplay and going around in circles? If Notebook, Nitin 'Filmistaan' Kakkar's third film, is anything to go by, the answer is a big, resounding no.

Gandhi To Hitler
...has the feel of a Z-grade quickie destined to be quickly consigned to the dustbins of movie history. The concept is hare-brained and the execution ham-handed and that’s putting it mildly.

Singh Is Bliing
What is irretrievably amiss with the film is that nothing it says manages to drift anywhere near some degree of coherence.

Humshakals
Even by the pitiable cinematic standards that the director has so defiantly set for himself, Humshakals is the very pits. It scrapes the bottom of a barrel that seems to have no bottom at all.

Action Jackson
The film proffers the worst of everything – obnoxious characters, mindless situations, juvenile action sequences, raucous music, bizarre dance routines and pathetically cheap gags – with nary a sign of any redeeming feature that could lessen the blow.
