Stanley Ka Dabba
...a heart-warmer that wraps itself securely around you, making you wholly unwilling to let it go.

Ragini MMS
...is strange mix of Hollywood horror influences and old-style Bollywood ghost stories.

Haunted
You are left feeling grateful for the couple of creepy moments the film manages, before sinking into sameness again.

Luv Ka The End
...there's so little else in the film that it all flattens out in an alarming sit-com like fashion, as this very now film is reduced to using the creakiest comic devices from old-style Bollywood—itching powder, and laxatives.

Chalo Dilli
A sentimental climactic twist ends up being surprisingly not schmaltzy, and gives an interesting touch to 'Chalo Dilli'. It could have been, though, shorter and crisper.

Shor In The City
What makes 'Shor In The City' an instant clutter-breaker is its darkly comic treatment. It makes you smile because its humour comes from within.

Teen Thay Bhai
What this film needed was a lightness of touch. What it has is heavy-handedness, most of the time. And fart jokes enough to keep juveniles in splits.

Thank You
...promises you a huge passel of nothing: no story, no sense. On all those scores, it doesn't disappoint.

Game
...is a good Bollywood example of a bad Hollywood film : all slick surface, nothing underneath.

F.A.L.T.U
The young gang is watchable, even if they are made to swap sense for a few broad laughs.

Monica
...has the intention, and a couple of effective performances but doesn't keep up with its execution.

Life Goes On
Some subtlety would have done this film, which had potential, a world of good. The performers strive to be credible, particularly the seasoned trio of Tagore-Karnad- Puri. It's a pity the film lets them down.

Yeh Faasley
The film begins promisingly, setting up little mysteries. But too soon, the plot starts developing holes, and the execution turns lax.

7 Khoon Maaf
...lives up to its premise for most of the film, before it pulls up short, well ahead of a satisfactory conclusion.

Patiala House
...there’s enough that’s enjoyable in the film. The writing is smart, the lines are life-like, the characters feel right.

Yeh Saali Zindagi
Other characters drift in and out of this crowded, disjointed film, which keeps giving us expository labels as to location and situation.

Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji
The trouble with ‘Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji’ is that the slim material gets stretched over two-and-a-half hours. Too much running time, and too little nuance flatten this enterprise.

Dhobi Ghat
...a strangely uneven film. Its beginning feels amateurishly put together ; as it heads onwards, though, it finds an easy, flowing rhythm with just the occasional stutter.

Turning 30
..turns from a warm, welcome peek into that girl's life, a girl we are prepared to like, into a series of cliches.

Yamla Pagla Deewana
...the loudest set of dialogues and the most vacuous set of characters we've been confronted with in a while.

No One Killed Jessica
Gupta manages to pull off a film about media activism, and the enormous power of the people, and how they can explosively combine if harnessed for the greater good.

Isi Life Mein
For a production house that’s been struggling with irrelevance ( it's last one on 'prem vivah' sank), 'Isi Life Mein' is not the way to go.

Tees Maar Khan
...is hobbled by poor, tasteless writing, and a leading man who seems to have lost his sense of comic timing.

Toonpur Ka Superrhero
Good for little kids who haven’t been exposed to the delights of cartoon network. If there any left.
