  • Zed Plus

    If it had stuck to its genre of being just a political satire, without recourse to excessiveness, Zed Plus could have been got greater access.

  • Warning

    What Warning lacks are the thrills and chills in the attempts to save themselves from a watery death.

  • 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.

  • Uvaa

    The youngsters in the film might have burned the midnight oil to become an example for others, but Uvaa does not even deserve grace marks.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Stand By

    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.

  • Phullu

    ...at times, may appear to be a social service campaign, considering its subject, but an effort has been made which needs to be lauded. It may be a small start, but a beginning has been made to change the mindset about menstruation.

  • Pari

    ...redefines the horror genre in Bollywood. It proves that we've come a long was since the era when the Ramsay Brothers...

  • Mr. X

    Bhatt tries to incorporate the superhero angle, but his linear narrative springs no surprises and as soon as he makes his hero go invisible, his entire plot is clearly visible and the heavy inspiration from Hollywood flicks.

  • Machine

    Attention has been paid to exotic locations, fancy costumes and aerial cinematography, with scant regard to the plot. The wafer-thin story crumbles in 'Machine'.

  • LoveYatri

    Aayush and Warina fans are in for a surprise, and Salman fans too will get what they expect from the film - entertainment in terms of dialogues, dance and screen presence.

  • LoveShhuda

    The statutory warning about drinking being injurious to health certainly applies to the film. The copious amount of alcohol that is downed throughout the film is enough to cause a severe hangover to the audience.

  • 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.
