Delhi Safari
...does a great service to the animation-for-kids genre by stepping out of the tired mythological stories, and creating animals with distinctive personalities.

Aiyyaa
...a flat, heavy-footed clomp through screechy lines and overstated, dragged-out situations.

Bhoot Returns

Chittagong
Pain’s film is low on big stars but high on integrity. You can see the story and the performances shine through.

OMG Oh My God!
The way the film pans out is mostly a lot of fun. And almost all the credit for that goes to the terrific Paresh Rawal who single-handedly makes us gloss over the weaker parts.

Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal
...a film that should have been wrapped up quickly and deftly, the qualities that Priyan once had, takes over three excruciating hours.

Heroine
...a string of drab cliches, despite a strong performance from leading lady Kareena Kapoor.

I M 24
There are some good, sincere moments in the film. But I expected something fresher from Saurabh Shukla, who is also the writer. And overall, more edge.

Ek Tha Tiger
Salman is much more in packaged-by-Yashraj-Bond mode, bashing ‘em up, and lovin’ her for ever, essentially Bhai doing his stuff, but restricted from being all over the place, which is not such a bad thing.

Gangs Of Wasseypur 2
...is a follow-through that is shot through with flashes of brilliance, and some wonderful comic verve, but that doesn’t have the enthralling power and spread of the first film.

Bol Bachchan
If your nosy is not turned up too high, ‘Bol Bachchan’, less blaring than your standard Rohit Shetty comedy, can give you sporadic chuckles, and a few helpess laughs. Can’t expect more.

Maximum
Turns out to be a dampener. Not because it doesn’t have interesting actors. Nor because it doesn’t have interesting situations. But because it comes off merely as 'Seher' redux, minus its power.

Teri Meri Kahaani
...there is not one jot of freshness in either the idea or the execution. So it makes no difference if it is kal aur aaj because the lead pair can conjure up nothing new...

...it is an important, relevant film that demands to be watched not just for what it is saying, but for how it is saying it -- angrily, fearlessly, pointing out, as a line in one of the film’s songs puts it, both the ‘gur’ and the ‘gobar’ in this, our Bharat.

Rowdy Rathore
You take the masala films made in the 70s and 80s. Borrow liberally. Patch together a plot, or whatever passes for it. Rope in a star looking for a solo hit. And you get, all together now, ‘Rowdy Rathore’.
