Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai
...practically everything about the film, including this pair which we last saw in `Aladin’, feels like we’ve seen it a hundred times over.

Samrat & Co.
I’m all for murder mysteries and brainy sleuths, but this one made me slump in my chair.

Hawaizaada
This could have been a greatly imaginative flight of fancy, but it is anything but. For a film that is about the joy of flying, Hawaizaada fails to sprout any wings.

Baa Baaa Black Sheep
Despite all the flesh on display - the curve of a bare breast, the length of a shapely back - the film is dull and lifeless.

Baa Baaa Black Sheep
This could have been a nice film, especially because it comes from Makrand Deshpande, fine actor and playwright. What we get is jaw-droppingly bad.

Sanam Teri Kasam
This was meant to be gentle satire on how people can be fish out of water when they are away from their natural habitat. But what it turns out to be is a loud, unfunny diatribe, where every single character acts away madly.

Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2
...all we get is more of the same, minus the freshness and the age-appropriate smart lines.

Prince
The action just about passes muster, but there’s nothing pulse-quickening about it, and it’s all same old same old. The rest is a waste of the scenery.

Bumboo
Films like these need to be obnoxiously funny, where you laugh because you can’t help it. And that happens too few times.

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.

The Legend of Michael Mishra
Some films are so painfully awful that they can safely be categorised under: what were they thinking?

Hide & Seek
...tries to be a Bollywood slasher film, but it doesn’t have the requisite thrill-and- chill factor.

Rajdhani Express
Someone has convinced Leander Paes that he can act, and that someone has clearly done a great job, because if he/she hadn’t, this film wouldn’t have been made.

Kuldip Patwal
...is a mess which never quite comes together, with both story and characters and dialogue meandering all over the place.

Jayanta Bhai Ki Luv Story
I believe Oberoi has it in him. Because when he is in earnest, he is an actor that can be watched. But he needs a much better film.

Nanu Ki Jaanu
The film may have been a larky idea, but practically nothing rises above the execution.

Sivan’s so busy setting the scene that he ignores the bumps and holes in his story.

Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani
Inanity is a great tool for a certain kind of comedy, and Santoshi exploited it brilliantly it in ‘Andaz Apna Apna’. Here he lets inane pile up upon asinine, without getting anything out of it, and burying all his characters deep under.

Shaapit
Practically nothing about 'Shaapit’, which has the youngest looking debutant hero after Shahid Kapoor, is scary...
