Players
...the film's best portions are the ones where it borrows directly from the source; the minute it diverts and adds Bollywood masala, the film stagnates.

Kya Yahi Sach Hai
An interesting watch for the subject, but be warned, the film falters in its amateur storytelling and dated look.

Jo Hum Chahein
Writer-director Pawan Gill makes a film that's two decades too late. With a soppy script and mediocre acting, this one's not worth your time.

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

Lanka
No point in talking about Manoj Bajpayee and Yashpal Sharma - both powerhouse performers—because the film itself doesn't work.

The Dirty Picture
...the film is recommended for the undisputed Performance of the Year. Take a bow Ms Balan; you make the film worthy of a second viewing!

Shakal Pe Mat Ja
The film's title gives sage advice. So if you're taken in by the fun-looking promos, please heed to the title's warning.

Rockstar
...aspires to be a modern-day epic. While not an entirely wholesome experience, Rockstar does have plenty of moments worth savouring.

Damadamm
...a reasonably breezy watch. You might enjoy the contemporary romance, if you let the flaws pass.

Tell Me O Kkhuda
One enjoyed Tell Me O Kkhuda's earnest first half, but the film nosedives in the second and doesn't quite recover.

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.

Jo Dooba So Paar
...sharp technical prowess cannot save a non-existent script. The film unfortunately gets progressively worse from the time it starts.

Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge
...a campus film that's not spectacular, but not bad either.

Mod
...has an audacious, interesting core idea, but one that doesn't articulate itself accurately.

...if you're looking for a dark, real tale of an authentic and flawed hero, this one's for you.

Rascals
The film is sexist, racist, and highly insensitive. But worse of all, it's a crashing bore. Steer clear!

Love Breakups Zindagi
There you have it - a film that leaves you entertained without big stars, an item-number, or lewd jokes.

Tere Mere Phere
...could have been an effective comedy, if the film had dug deeper to give us an interesting perspective on warring couples.

Hum Tum Shabana
Everything from the writing, to the dialogue and storytelling is damp and unfunny.

Force
If you like your films simplified and full of maar-dhaad, get yourself a ticket to this fight-fest.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster
...a wholesome, hugely satisfying film after a long time. Those who like their stories slightly twisted will love this Machiavellian story with delicious dark humour.

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.

Mausam
...is a film one wanted to like. But the truth is, it's marred by long-drawn storytelling, mediocre performances, and a bizarre finale. Find your reasons, if you must watch it!
