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

Phoonk 2
...starts off being is scarier and bloodier than the first film, but ends up conforming to the regular horror fare complete with spirit possessions and the white-eyed ghost.

Not A Love Story
...the film is no great shakes. But it's an alright thriller with a few moments that definitely unnerve you.

Babloo Happy Hai
...for the sincere performances and the topical subject of the film, one could sample this without expecting too much.

Uvaa
...the film talks about women's rights while including these sexist elements, and gives a muddled message. However, the film redeems itself to an extent by the story it chooses...

Aladin
Despite the length being a tad too long and the enchantment quotient hovering around average, the film might still be worth a watch for a few amusing moments.

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

Shaandaar
...a peculiar film - to be enjoyed for its beautiful moments, and to be endured for its bizarre ones.

Guddu Rangeela
The film might have seemed an interesting, ambitious, black-humoured take on crime in the menacing hinterlands. But what we get is a watered-down version of the above.

Toh Baat Pakki
...the only reason we can recommend the film is Tabu alone. Watch it, if that’s reason enough for you to sample the rest of the mediocre fare.

Ready
Salman shirtless: check. Younger heroine: check. Couple of whistle-worthy songs: check. Hero beating up baddies to pulp: check. Result: the Salman Khan masala movie.

Gali Gali Chor Hai
The purpose of a satire is not just to make you laugh, but in using the humour to communicate a more vital and pertinent thought. In that context, Gali Gali Chor Hai is too shallow to qualify as a real satire.

Yeh Saali Zindagi
...pretends to be intelligent, but it's just another 'it's cool to be bad' crime caper.

Agent Vinod
More pulp than pulpy, apart from the performances and a few riveting moments, Agent Vinod doesn't have much to offer.

Bajatey Raho
This is simply a weaker version of Khosla Ka Ghosla and countless other 'Delhi' films.

The Shaukeens
...director Abhishek Sharma (Tere Bin Laden) gives us a fast food version of what was a very charming and humorous film. Go for it if you have the stomach!

Main Aur Charles
...the makers have taken truly explosive material and tamed it down, choosing to glamourize the villain to a nauseating level. The film had so much more potential!

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.

Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey

Main Tera Hero
...some filmmakers are insistent on rehashing the same old formula with new actors. Watch it if you don’t mind being served old wine in a glitzy new bottle.

Kill Dil
For the cast, and a few interesting moments, and the stylistic treatment (that often goes overboard), this one's an ok watch. That's if you're up for a cliched story packaged a little differently.

Raat Gayi Baat Gayi
Go ahead, enjoy this slice-of life movie that may not completely convince and does take time to unfold, but will leave you smiling anyway.

City Of Gold
One can call the film somewhat gripping, but hardly one that explores the mill worker’s tribulations with an honest heart.

Aurangzeb
Call it a retro film with modern sensibilities. Old wine in new bottle. Whatever. Worth a watch, if you'd like to savour the story and performances, and forgive much of the rest.
