Sixteen
Despite its hapless editing and a circus of miscasts, the admirable part is it doesn’t thrust an all-weather remedy to handling hormones effectively.

Main Aur Mr. Riight
The director could have been more ambitious because the half-heartedness in onscreen performances is too obvious to overlook.

Murder 3
The film is more of a love triangle than a hardcore thriller as it makes the original Spanish film look like a masterpiece.

Kaanchi
...shows promise in the beginning, but soon enough, its potential is lost even though the climax offers some inspiration.

War Chhod Na Yaar
...the intention and the much-needed message behind this project is praiseworthy but the execution meanders way too much.

Desi Kattey
When a film aims at offering violence wrapped around a love story, there’s the possibility of a conflict between the two. Often, violence is romanticised to the point that humane elements are eventually overlooked.

Bittoo Boss
It could have done a lot better in terms of entertainment, if nothing else. Perhaps making a memorable movie wasn’t part of the plan.

Ishk Actually
If the gist of the film was to spin a yarn around the pursuit of true love, then it surely missed the target by a mile.

Jackpot
Although the suspense factor holds tight at moments, the charm of deception is severely missing.

Jeena Hai Toh Thok Daal
The semblance of the plot is badly disturbed when its screenplay prefers to move in a predictable direction. Sloppy camerawork couldn’t be hidden for long either.

Action Jackson
...a happy addition to the run-of-the-mill films with the invisible please-leave-your-brain-at-home statutory label.

Ragini MMS - 2
...is not yawn-inducing but quite entertaining. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s a shoddily-made film that could have been better if it hadn’t blindly followed the same old horror film formula.

Challo Driver
...it makes an attempt to gauge the pulse of today’s youth. However, once the movie sets into motion, the lack of acceleration in the screenplay wrecks the show.

Ramaiya Vastavaiya
Despite all their attempts at upholding entertainment, remakes such as these often pose a very simple question: will it work if the writers don’t put in a bit more effort when the audiences are more than willing to?

Saare Jahaan Se Mehnga
In the end, the film leaves you uncertain with so much more to desire.

Future To Bright Hai Ji
Its mediocre screenplay does the damage because of its aversion to take risk.

Khamoshiyan
In case you are looking for laughter punctuated by sudden horror, lovely dialogues and illogical scenes, you should watch this one. If not, maintain silence as well as distance.

Shortcut Romeo
Except for few moments - in fact, very few - this purported thriller is way off the target.

Chal Pichchur Banate Hain
For a film that intended to be a tribute to a commoner’s unparalleled love of cinema, it hardly made an impact as one.

Roar: Tigers Of The Sundarbans
...the journey to get the message is too slippery and full of loopholes. However, if you’re looking for a series of inadvertent laughs, then you’ll do just fine.

Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal
...almost every single cinematic aspect bears the trademark Priyadarshan stamp. In other words, sloppiness runs wild in the guise of entertainment.

Ajab Gazabb Love
Going back to the very motive behind this film, entertainment can apparently afford to be senseless. At least that’s what the makers of this rather avoidable movie believe in.

Luv U Soniyo
What can one possibly say about a film that is so unidirectional that you get tired of correctly predicting what the next scene will be?

Hum Hai Raahi CAR Ke
There’s no lack of tepid efforts in Bollywood and this film adds to the list.

The Light: Swami Vivekananda
...this film could have been far better as an all-praising documentary. A tribute doesn’t necessarily mean that one can toy with the idea of making a film without getting the basics right.

From Sydney With Love
When the director of a film is also the producer, writer as well as the lead actor, things are bound to get a bit messy on the celluloid.

Rajdhani Express
If good motives alone never made good movies, then we better not try to gauge the motive behind this film. By that logic, Rajdhani Express can easily lay claim to be one of the worst films of 2013.

Cigarette Ki Tarah
No offence but some movies take cinema to its fag end and obstruct constructive criticism. It’s a pity that such films get released because somebody has money while better ones don’t because somebody doesn’t.
