Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyun Aaata Hai?
The original had a protagonist whose raving and ranting, whose very being the way he was, was alive to the moment. This fully superfluous remake will only make you angry.

Akira
Sonakshi Sinha kicks butt in the A R Murugadoss film but is limited by her role. Despite Anurag Kashyap's deliciously bad performance, Akira falls into a sinkhole.

AK vs AK
Motwane’s movie is not just meta. It’s meta-meta, especially when some parts hit too close to the mark, and some are just tantalisingly off the mark.

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.

Ajab Gazabb Love
Despite all the foreign locations glitter, this plays out like a flat, meandering TV comedy. What is the 'ajab’, and where’s the ‘gazabb’?

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

Aisha
There's good shallow, and there's bad shallow. 'Aisha' is strictly in-between shallow.

...old style revenge drama which does well on the whole, despite its plot holes and a slackened second half...

Agent Vinod
You can see the Bond-Bourne-Ludlum influences, but not the unfettered play of Sriram Raghavan’s wit and intelligence. Where's the fizz?

Even Rohit Shetty’s brand of brainlessness is better than this straight-up disgusting fare.

ABCD - Any Body Can Dance - 2
The only way a film like this can beat predictability is to deliver as many surprises as it can. But the writing department is the weakest : clichés abound as the characters whirl about frantically in an attempt to shed cardboard.

ABCD - Any Body Can Dance
This film had the potential, but it needed both sharper direction and dancing, to maximize it.

There a few moments when your eyes well up, but it’s not enough in a two hour long film.

...could have been a well-marshalled case of caste-and-conscience, but it turns out to be more light-weight cash-and-carry.

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.

Aakrosh
...did the director have to rip off Mississipi Burning quite so completely? Replace FBI officers Willem Dafoe and Gene Hackman with CBI officers Akshaye Khanna and Ajay Devgn, darkest Mississippi with darkest Bihar, and racism with caste-ism, steal scenes in their entirety, and you have Aakrosh.

A Gentleman
...we also wish that there was some more comic-book energy in the plot, which keeps sliding and slowing. That’s the only way spoofs can remain spiffy, and worthy of our complete attention.

A Flying Jatt
This could have been such a rollicking film, especially for kids —it had all the ingredients, and an engaging start, fronted by a hero who is light on his feet. Too bad it ends up being a promo for Swachch Bharat.

Nothing we haven't seen before, in various films that dabble in the weird-things-happen-to-nice-people territory.
