  • Gang of Ghosts

    Satish Kaushik's direction seems as clueless as human beings are about after-life. After a point, everyone seems to be doing their own thing...

  • Coffee Bloom

    ...is an excellent example of how some filmmakers end up making pretentious, self indulgent unwatchable movies in the name of independent cinema.

  • All Is Well

    This movie starts going consistently downhill from the first scene itself that you start wondering if the makers and the actors themselves gave up on making any sense, even while they were in the process of making it.

  • One By Two

    Interesting premise, but then that’s about it. From the first scene onwards, the story, direction and dialogues go on a downward spiral. Thirty minutes into the film, and you start thinking of all that you could have done with those precious two hours.

  • O Teri

    The film is supposedly a satire on scams, politics and media, among other things. But the script or the dialogues don’t show any intelligence that help the film qualify as one.

  • Shabri

    There are a few brilliant scenes in the film, which actually tempt you to get involved, but unfortunately the film lacks consistency.

  • Rascals

    No one has probably abused the term 'Kuch bhi chalta hai' as often as David Dhawan. Rascals is yet another example.

  • Zanjeer

    Director Apoorva Lakhia uses his special talent to make this remake as crass as possible, turning it into a pedestrian, B-grade version of the original classic.

  • Issaq

    It is one thing to set out to make a gritty film in Banaras, but it is another thing to have enough discipline and a great script to pull it off.

  • Hawaizaada

    Nothing is more disappointing than a director overlooking details while creating an entirely different era for you.

  • Humshakals

    Silly, irreverent humour is always a welcome change. But braindead, childish (sorry children, don't roll your eyes yet) pathetic attempt at funny is not.

  • Kucch Luv Jaisaa

    The premise of the story is interesting: what happens when a woman in a safe but loveless marriage meets an exciting and reckless criminal. Sadly, that's about it.

  • Super Nani

    ...welcome to the regressive world of the director, This time he makes a volte face and decides to put us in a time machine and take us back to the dark ages.

  • Pappu Can't Dance Saala

    I don't know if Pappu can dance, but surely Pathak can do far better than playing the same kind of role again and again and ruin our evenings, and perhaps also his career in the process.

  • Baadshaho

    ...the main culprit is the execution that is so jaded and predictable that even if you dozed off and woke up after an hour, you would know exactly what’s happening on the screen.

  • Barefoot To Goa

    The intention is right — it deals with a relevant social issue of how old parents are abandoned by their children and looked at as inconvenience — but the execution definitely is not.

  • Creature

    This film keeps you engaged alright. During its two-hour plus period, it makes you snigger, snort, laugh out loud at the unintentional humour and makes you gasp with disbelief at the absurdity of it all.

  • Rajjo

    Tacky treatment, dialogues filled with colouful language, and a story that belies its moral bankruptcy for the sake of tititllation, this film is cringe worthy experience.
