Shortcut Romeo
...I wasn't feeling very smart when I left the theatre after two and a half hours of this drivel.

Ishqedarriyaan
Mahaakshay returns in a badly-written romance, which makes you wonder why anyone would want to repeat the same mistakes...

Accident on Hill Road
...the only thing that I can safely recommend are two full-blown unapologetically cheesy ditties, both of which feature Himesh Bhai himself, and some hilarious lines.

Dilwale
...is a plotless drag : the slaphappy antics you see on screen are a random jumble of light, camera, action, done in the broadest sense.

Roohi
What’s missing is a coherent plot and writing. All we get is one cringe-inducing sequence after the next...

Toh Baat Pakki
But the biggest shocker here is Tabu. Why she, said to be extremely picky about her roles, said yes to this one will remain an enduring mystery.

Chatur Singh Two Star
There is no story in 'Chatur Singh, Two Star’. And the only story to 'Chatur Singh, Two Star’ seems to one of delusion : that the people involved in it, were making a film.

Meeruthiya Gangsters
The movie is so far from being the zippy crime caper it presumably set out to be that it leaves you stranded, wondering just what is going on.

Ready
...not that it doesn't have any plot or any sense. We do not expect those to be the prime movers in a Bazmee line-up. But what really kills this film is that its nonsense is neither inventive nor high energy.

Pyaar Impossible
How do you watch a film you know will pan out exactly as you think it will from its first frame?

Lupt
It’s meant to be a ‘supernatural horror’ flick, but what it is, is plain horrible.

Aao Wish Karein
Good proposition for kids, and adults, to buy in. But `Aao Wish Karein’ falls in between two stools, and becomes a film which appeals strongly to neither.

Mumbai Mirror
I’ve just finished watching ‘Mumbai Mirror’ and can’t make up my mind : was it so bad that it was plain vanilla bad, or was it head-clutchingly awful?

Chaarfutiya Chhokare
Not one thing rings true. Not the leading lady, togged out in spotless shirts and slacks doing NGO-giri, not the young chokras, and not the bad ‘uns.

Ranchi Diaries
...this comes off as a random assemblage of scenes– in forests (that’s where the ‘Naxals’ live), a large mansion (that’s where the bad guy stays), police chowkis, and a crumbling building which is meant to house a bank—trying to pass off as a film.

Karthik Calling Karthik
...there’s really no steady progression, just staccato sequences where Karthik ( Akhtar) and Shonali ( Padukone) go from happy to fractious within nanoseconds.

Calendar Girls
A hurried after-thought, which talks of how these girls are really, truly ‘proud achievers’, comes right in the end. And it’s just that, an after-thought. The rest of it exploits—smugly, tackily, uncomfortably explicitly—young women being exploited.

Fanney Khan
...none of these crucial issues are explored; after a cursory mention, the film gets lost in tired clichés.

Family Of Thakurganj
...feels like a tired retread on all counts. How you can pull of such a feat with so many good actors is an achievement in itself.
