Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey
...fails to grasp your attention or convince you to invest our emotions. Which is a shame considering the potential of this story that's unique in so many ways and encapsulates a range of developments.

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

Guzaarish
Bhansali's love story doesn't move you the way it is intended to. It's unique, but not necessarily special.

Action Replayy
...two hours of boredom, unnecessary songs, and attempts at comedy. The retro look and feel is fun, but overdone in our films now.

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.

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

Aakrosh
...despite its flaws, is a decent thriller with good performances, a dash of romance, and plenty of action. But an insightful, meaningful stand on honour killings, it is not.

Crook
...treatment of the subject is scattered and ridden with flashbacks. The film seems to have internalised its title - 'it's good to be bad'.

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

Dabangg
...an evolved version of Wanted. The hero is not all-pervasive. He can beat up a roomful of baddies but also shed a tear over his estranged family. These nuances are appreciable, but the film lacks the pace and drama of a full-blown entertainer.

Emotional Atyachar : The Film
...convoluted when it didn’t have to be, grisly for effect, and too tedious for a crime caper.

We Are Family
...old wine in a new, expensive bottle. It's evident in the characterisation, the dated dialogue, and the choice of the heavy-duty background score where you hear a woman's alaap for the most part; a mainstay in our saas-bahu soaps.

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

Help
...a slightly above-average horror film that’s a mix of the regular cliches, and redeemed by the novel twist.

It’s so rare for a film to get it all together: from the story, to the performances, to the atmospherics, to the music and more.

Red Alert
You’ll enjoy the gritty tale if you can forgive the lack of depth and the film shirking from taking a stance.
