Murder 2
Director Mohit Suri makes the film soft-porn (brief love-making scenes) and also soft-horror (the crimes are that horrific).

Rocket Singh
After Ab Tak Chhappan and Chak De India, this is director Shimit Amin’s weakest film thus far.

B.A. Pass
It’s not as dark and dangerous as you’d expect film noir to be. Still, you might want to check it out for the few grappling moments and the performances.

Raajneeti
The film is too long, and the second half is inexplicably stretched. In true Bollywood fashion, politics is elevated to an exalted, unattainable status, and the many dialogues, beginning with Raajneeti mein..., get utterly tiresome.

Gulaab Gang
If you can forgive its sizeable flaws, the film is watchable largely for Juhi Chawla, and the few scenes where her face-off with Madhuri Dixit has sizzle.

Raja Natwarlal
The film will seem monotonous for the most part, save the finale where you are at the edge of your seat for a few moments.

Calapor
...this remains one of those films—where the intention may be good, but that, sadly, doesn’t result in an engaging film.

One By Two
Writer-director Devika Bhagat makes a film that's like an elongated sitcom. The film manages to stand initially, but goes quite berserk towards the finale, much like our characters.

Speedy Singhs
...yet another run-of-the-mill "sports movie" that relies heavily on proven formulas and genre clichés. It's an ok watch, if you don't mind a watered-down Bend it Like Beckham.

Jayanta Bhai Ki Luv Story
...a gangster rom-com that will have you smile in the first half, and snooze in the second.

Kaagaz Ke Fools
In the end, you are left with the thought that the film could have been so much more.

MLA
More shaded and real characters would have taken the film notches higher. However, it's a decent attempt by debut director Shiv Dube.

Table No. 21
Director Aditya Datt seems unsure whether to make a hard-hitting thriller or a soppy drama. He makes a thriller that ends with a moral message.

Rocky Handsome
But a film can work only if the viewer is emotionally invested in the character and their journey. That’s the reason Rocky Handsome doesn’t work neither as an emotional drama nor an action flick.

London Dreams
Go for it, only if you find the Ajay Devgn-Salman Khan Jodi irresistible.

Club 60
The film is well-intentioned, and does have a few heartfelt moments that draw you in. But that's little respite in the otherwise muddled film.

Fatso
...a film that had potential. But somewhere along the way, we just couldn’t understand what to make of the man in the fat suit and his pack of strange friends.

Heartless
The story is hollow, and has enough meat to sustain perhaps an episode of a tv thriller series.

Ab Tak Chhappan 2
Patekar's strong performance is the film's highlight. He's masterful, but let down by a simplistic, cliched take on the story.

Jail
...lacks the realistic bite of other prison films and also falls short of connecting the audience to the character’s angst.

Patiala House
It's a decent cocktail, but how many times are viewers expected to order the same thing?

My Friend Pinto
...the only time the film sparkles is when super-charming actors Prateik and Kalki descend on the screen and make some magic. Unfortunately these moments are sparse, and snowballed under the sub-plot-stuffed story.

I Me Aur Main
Pretty much like the central character, the film is self-obsessed - rambling on without sparing a thought for its audience.

Gabbar Is Back
This is a low-brow, gimmicky film that capitalizes on one of Hindi film's most iconic villains, and more unforgivably, on the aam junta's frustrations with the system.

Jhootha Hi Sahi
...a disappointing effort. This mainstream Hollywood fare with Indian tadka, served cold, is hardly appetizing.

Pappu Can't Dance Saala
We wish that even if the film wanted to explore an unlikely romance, it did so with honesty.
