  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Agent Vinod

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

  • 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

    ...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.

  • 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.

    Nov 2014
  • City Of Gold

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

    Apr 2010
  • 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.
