Rakht Charitra – I
Ram Gopal Varma's storytelling has a Company and Sarkar hangover. Plus the films gets entangled in a repetitive cycle of revenge and counter-revenge, so the story doesn’t move anywhere.

Crazy Cukkad Family
With the premise it had, the film certainly could have been far funnier and crazier.

Hello Darling
Watch it if you can forgive bad acting and inadequate storytelling for a few very few laughs and a novel premise.

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.

Ungli
This could have been a highly impactful, immersing film that, despite its intent, falls tragically short.

Hate Story 2
...marketed as an erotic thriller, and scores pretty low on both the erotic and thriller counts.

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

3 A.M.
Director Vishal Mahadkar gives us a film, an amalgamation of so many horror films, which in the end is neither completely original nor spooky.

Pankh
The film has an interesting premise, but it hasn’t been fleshed out satisfactorily.

Housefull 2
...a high-production version of what they call the "mad-cap comedy". With nothing else at the cinemas this week, this makes for a just-about- bearable single time view.

Housefull
It’s just like so many of its kind – banking on skin-show, star-power and a couple of tired gags; it’s frightening to say that this is the only endurable option available to the Hindi film viewer currently.

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

Gori Tere Pyaar Mein
With severely cliched characters, a glaring lack of humour for a rom-com, and a muddled love story that does not hold your interest, the only upside to the film is Kareena Kapoor’s crackerjack performance.

Road, Movie
Neither a full-blown road movie, nor a story that cleverly folds in the delights of touring cinema...

Bumm Bumm Bole
Perhaps some films are better left untouched. You might enjoy this marginally, if you haven’t had the chance to see the original.

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.

The film is stylish yes, but makes the fatal mistake of ODing. So you have at least three violent fights set against pacy music - a repetitive tactic. Conversations ramble on, making no point.

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.

Main Aur Mr. Riight
...from the emotions to the characterization, is way too synthetic to leave an impact.

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

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.

Dekh Tamasha Dekh
Neither a biting enough political satire, nor a moving drama— Dekh Tamasha Dekh hangs precariously in-between. You understand the intention, you even connect with a few scenes, but overall the film is dismal.

Shootout At Wadala
It's unfortunate that despite such a great cast, what you get is a mediocre, offensive film.
