  • Bin Bulaye Baarati

    The no-brainer was made purely for the aam janata of the hinterland. Dishing out any fare will do for them as long as there is naach gana along with risque humour, script, story, acting and everything else doesn't matter.

  • Bin Bulaye Baarati

    While making a point about political interference and corruption (the flavour of the season!) in football, Stand By leans heavily towards Bollywood melodrama. This is most unnecessary in what could have been a hard-hitting look at what ails Indian sports.

  • Soundtrack

    ...the film is watchable for its starkly distinct narrative and stands out amidst the current crop of mindless comic capers and over-the-top action flicks.

  • Aazaan

    Throughout the movie, Azaan is continuously told that he has Allah ka haath over him. If it fetches him a decent opening at the box-office, we will believe it.

  • Agent Vinod

    Though there is an earnest attempt to make a thriller considering that the director (Sriram Raghavan) is known for this genre of films - Ek Hasina Thi and Johnny Gaddar-- this time the makers have tried to make a masala thriller stirring in too many ingredients making it difficult to digest.

  • Blood Money

    Only if you have time to kill on hand and want to escape the seething heat outside, step into the AC environ for this sparkless fare.

  • Housefull 2

    This is a movie in which you have to leave your brains out of the auditorium. You may chuckle, laugh, smile or squirm (take your pick) on the silliness that unfolds. You can step in and out of the auditorium, it won’t matter.

  • Vicky Donor

    ...is one of those films that yet again affirm that you don’t need big stars with hefty remunerations nor do you have to cross the Atlantic to scour exotic locations.

  • Hate Story

    Agnihotri tries to bring alive the tale but is hampered by the script despite the good production values making it for just an okay watch.

  • Tezz

    In a bid to infuse the melodrama bits into Tezz, scant attention has been paid to the plot that keeps going off the track.

  • Life Ki Toh Lag Gayi

    ...when you take on over-familiar subjects seen umpteen times on the big screen like Mumbai’s underworld; showbiz and the casting couch; the nexus between the cops and the politicians there is a sense of déjà vu.

  • Ishaqzaade

    If only the second half had not meandered into a redlight area, this film would have been a great watch, but still it is worth a viewing.

  • Teri Meri Kahaani

    Whatever prompted or inspired this so-called 'thrice upon love story'? It is replete with run-of-the-mill ideas that we have seen since decades in Hindi filmdom.
