Roar: Tigers Of The Sundarbans
How does a film with majestic tigers, beautiful wildlife and tons of VFX (mostly CGI) get it so wrong? How does a film with a title like Roar turn out to be such a bore?

Singh Is Bliing
Watch it if you can forgive seeing much-loved stars reduced to playing stereotypical roles. Watch it if you want Bollywood to be stuck in a pathetic time-warp!

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!

Super Nani
...an unpalatable mash-up of Baghban, Khoon Bhari Maang, and the regressive portions from English Vinglish. Yup, that's right. Run the other way.

Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2
Far from feeling offended by the movie, you end up feeling sorry for its limited vision. If the film were actually brave, it would offer a more balanced perspective. This one is of the whiners, by the whiners and for the whiners.

All Is Well
It's perplexing how Umesh Shukla, who made the simple and entertaining OMG Oh My God!, could have come up with this sub-par deal.

...doesn’t work largely because the characters don’t. We don’t care at all about the glossy-lipped girl, or the expressionless boy. They are one-dimensional characters constantly doing things out of their league and desperate for an applause.

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

Paathshaala
It’s over dramatised to the point of ridiculousness. And these manipulative tricks are shameful to say the least.

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'.

Ek Villain
Watch if it a film that’s essentially unoriginal, with plasticky emotions, and unnecessary gore fills up your soul.

It’s obvious that when a film looks at complex and serious problems in such a simplistic fashion, it’s only doing those issues an immense disservice.

Badmashiyaan
The cast is sprightly and earnest, but let down by a dodgy script and inadequate execution.

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.

Watch if you want to go through the torture of a talented cast giving their career-worst performances.

Sadiyaan
There is melodrama at every step - from the romance, to the separation, to the mother-son emotions. The kind that could make an evolved audience, used to subtler sentiments, feel claustrophobic.

Calendar Girls
National-award winning director Madhur Bhandarkar makes a film about how these girls are exploited in the glamour world, while making sure his film exploits them as well. Talk about ironies.
