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.

Ek Paheli Leela
...a half-entertaining story that unfolds between songs, some past life mumbo-jumbo, sprinkles of Rajasthan exotica, and a good-looking cast that makes it somewhat bearable.

Heroine
Madhur Bhandarkar holds on to his Fashion formula, fearing to deviate and let go.

Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara
...it’s a melange of inflated dialogue desperate for applause, an unconvincing story, and love triangle we don’t really care for.

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.

Ragini MMS
...if you're looking for the classic 'spook+sleaze' combo, this film might leave you cold.

Rahasya
...it's another product from a film-making factory that employs its set formulas in every film.

What The Fish
This is one of those films you reckon the title and concept is far more absorbing than the film itself.

Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon
One wonders if we'll always be stuck with comedies, that in an attempt to be massy, end up as regressive and stuck in a time-warp.

Radio
A very simplistic story made unnecessarily gimmicky with the story told in chapters and sketchy characterisations, Radio is watchable only for fans of froth.

Hate Story
...the film is not the sleaze-fest the promos led you to believe it was. Now that can be a respite or, a disappointment depending on which side of the fence you’re on.

Shahrukh Bola Khoobsurat Hai Tu
...an immersing enough premise, but a film that doesn't quite live up to its quirky title.

Cocktail
The film is well-packaged and looks good. But the story disappoints. Humour is consistent but not as funny as in other rom-coms.

Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai
Compared to the films we’ve been witnessing over the few weeks, this one would qualify as an average watch. A couple of moments of fun, that’s it.

For Real
...commendable for its inclusion of a child's perspective. But the film needs to give the grown-ups a break as well.

Chatur Singh Two Star
With a damp plot, sparse laughter-generating moments, and the character of Chatur Singh not endearing or memorable enough, the film barely chugs along.

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

Sadda Adda

Yeh Khula Aasmaan
The message is timely and important, but the film doesn't effectively communicate it.

Khiladi 786
...here was great potential here - the successful Khiladi franchise, the A-list cast, good music and so on. But debut director Ashish R Mohan makes a film that's a diluted, washed-down version of several such films.

Life Ki Toh Lag Gayi
So yes, the title is apt. You feel exactly that as you’re watching the film.

Zanjeer
This is an uninspired piece of filmmaking, where the makers aren’t even trying.

Tevar
The film is a remake of a Telugu hit Okkadu (2003). It does seem that South Indian cinema has moved on and is exploring some wildly interesting stories, while Bollywood is perplexingly keen on retracting steps. This has to stop.

Satya 2
A mystery that refuses to be solved, RGV comes up with one awful film after the other, making viewers wonder what’s happening in that mind of his.

Dishkiyaoon
The convoluted second half makes sure the viewer is completely disconnected, with the finale twist being the only interesting aspect.
