  • Buddha In A Traffic Jam

    While, at points, you want to take certain issues seriously, at other points, the director and the scriptwriter have totally gone overboard with all seriousness, making it unwittingly funny.

  • Katti Batti

    It really is frustrating to watch a fairly decent story being narrated by just skimming the surface and shockingly leaving out the little details that make them whole.

  • Badlapur Boys

    From what started out as a rooted, believable story, the flow goes on to become a rather too convenient and silly storyline in the second half.

  • Surkhaab

    ...is perhaps one of the finest examples of those small budget films which start with a good intention of dealing with a relevant issue, but then fall into the trap of making it ‘safe’ to ensure a box office hit.

  • Mausam

    ...hope Pankaj Kapoor directs another film soon, perhaps utilising those flashes of brilliance a little more. Next time, I hope he gives us more of those sensitive, romantic moments, instead of trying to encompass all that is happening around the world.

  • Ready

    I was advised to leave my brain behind to enjoy this movie. I wish I had left my ears behind, too though.

  • Rang Rasiya

    Director Ketan Mehta chose well to tell this story on screen but unfortunately, failed largely in bringing the magic alive.

  • Speedy Singhs

    If you are looking for originality or anything deeper, this is not for you. Go for it only if you are looking for a light but forgettable watch.

  • Zubaan

    The film holds a lot of promise but doesn’t really live up to it. A more clear-minded script as well as a steadier hand at direction would have done wonders to this film.

  • Don 2

    The script apart from being predictable also has loopholes galore. The characters are sketchey.

  • Heartless

    The movie has an interesting premise but a better execution would have been welcome. Also, a little more logic in the storyline would have helped the film.

  • Aarakshan

    Given how extensively the film talks about the commercialisation of education, I think someone should take up the cause of commercialisation of inflammatory issues. While Jha has succeeded in garnering enough attention for Aarakshan as a result, he has failed to give this sensitive issue its due.

    If you are itching for a masaledar movie, watch this one. It is funny, intentionally and unintentionally.

  • Gunday

    ...attempts to bring back that time, that bravado and a whole mish-mash of action sequences from films such as Deewar and the like. Unfortunately, everything rings as false as the mile-long eyelashes of the cabaret dancer Nandita, played by Priyanka Chopra.

  • Hamari Adhuri Kahani

    With a protagonist so out of sync with the time and age she lives in, dialogues (Shagufta Rafiq), which seemed to belong to some other bygone era and somehow strayed into 2015, forced intensity and a story defying logic, this film is a disappointment.

  • Prem Ratan Dhan Payo

    With a screenplay that's so lacklustre, dialogues so mediocre and settings so outdated, it might have been less torturous had the film not been painfully long at close to three hours.

    Nov 2015
  • Not A Love Story

    The film has some nice moments, only if it was not spoilt by the jarring background score and oh yes, those designed to drive-you-up-the-wall camera movements.

    Aug 2011
  • Bang Bang!

    This is a remake of Hollywood film, 'Knight and Day', and for some reason, we choose to make a dumber version of the not-so-great-to-begin-with original film.

  • Double Dhamaal

    Illogical, at times crass, double meaning dialogues, and of course, the stupidity of it all, this film has all the recipes for a disaster. But it's the mad humour that's the saving grace.

  • Mahabharat

    ...should be given the credit for being a film with sincere attempt and ambition. However, its lack of vision, especially in terms of technology, works completely against it.
