Dum Maaro Dum
...worth a watch for the peek into the seamier side of Goa; but expecting anything other than Bollywood style thrills and chases will leave you disappointed.

Miss Lovely
...the subject and style is far more absorbing than the film. Too bad, really!

Welcome 2 Karachi
...the film is worth your time for the unique story, performances and some genuine laughs.

Rann
...Ram Gopal Varma really had a chance to make a film that could carry its message to the film-watching public. Instead, you have black and white characters comprising the usual clique of the righteous man, the villainous politician, and supportive love interest.

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

Chaalis Chauraasi
The performances sparkle and there are a few moments of heartfelt camaraderie and humour. Other than that, Chaalis Chauraasi remains an average crime-caper.

Jaanisaar
...the tale is indeed a remarkable one. If only there were performances to back these inspiring, spirited characters, and a film that worked together as a whole, instead of delightful separates.

Bollywood Diaries
Watch this film without too many expectations, and you might find yourself moved the by the characters and their Bollywood diaries.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
...a film cracking under its own weight. If only Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra had ditched the self-serious tone and let the film breathe a bit.

Bang Bang!
If you've seen Knight and Day (Bang Bang! is an official remake), better steer clear. Otherwise, the film might be tolerable, even entertaining in parts.

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan
...has the sparking performances, the interesting pairing, and a few fun moments. But it’s essentially an assembly-line, rom-com product.

Chhota Bheem And The Curse Of Damyaan
The film is mostly just a big-screen version of the show, but entertaining enough to go nicely with the popcorn.

Gour Hari Dastaan
The dour performances don't help either. Neither does the thick, gloomy air of the film. While the story is electrifying and inspiring, the film doesn't manage to do justice.

Na Ghar Ke Na Ghaat Ke
Funny at times, crude at others, it's a decent watch if you're willing to forgive the implausible finale.

Murder 2
Director Mohit Suri makes the film soft-porn (brief love-making scenes) and also soft-horror (the crimes are that horrific).

Rocket Singh
After Ab Tak Chhappan and Chak De India, this is director Shimit Amin’s weakest film thus far.

B.A. Pass
It’s not as dark and dangerous as you’d expect film noir to be. Still, you might want to check it out for the few grappling moments and the performances.

Raajneeti
The film is too long, and the second half is inexplicably stretched. In true Bollywood fashion, politics is elevated to an exalted, unattainable status, and the many dialogues, beginning with Raajneeti mein..., get utterly tiresome.

Gulaab Gang
If you can forgive its sizeable flaws, the film is watchable largely for Juhi Chawla, and the few scenes where her face-off with Madhuri Dixit has sizzle.

Raja Natwarlal
The film will seem monotonous for the most part, save the finale where you are at the edge of your seat for a few moments.

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

Sixteen
The finale is as cliched as they come. So the film ends up being delightfully audacious but also messed-up, pretty much like some of its characters.

Kaanchi
...the film is not a total let-down. It has an interesting protagonist, an arresting story (sadly told in a simplistic fashion), and some effective moments. The gripe is this could have been a far, far better film. Too bad, really.

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.

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...

Bewakoofiyaan
The film could have been a modern rom-com dealing with issues of the recession, over-bearing parents, changing love equations etcetera. But what you get are good-looking actors, a few immersing moments, and an amusing sitcom episode at best.

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.
