Darr @The Mall
...if you’re in the mood for a decent horror flick that has an equal number of spooky and dry moments, you won’t mind this one.

Kick
...what you get is an archetypal Salman film with the regular cliches, and a few moments of, err, kick.

Ghayal Once Again
The film is earnest and has a few genuine, emotional moments, but is defeated by an outmoded viewpoint and look.

Chaarfutiya Chhokare
This could have been a better movie with more conviction and imagination.

Holiday
The lead actors do well in their parts, and their pairing will possibly be a draw. But with such weak characterization and soppy romance, even their electric onscreen chemistry is diluted.

Pyaar Impossible
...average watch, largely elevated by Priyanka Chopra’s performance and zillion-dollar look.

Shaadi Ke Side Effects
With a take on relationships that starts off as modern, but cops-out; it’s the humour and performances that are worth savouring.

Bandook
This small film with an easy-to-forget title needed more aggressive and focused marketing to get noticed. Still, do sample it if you enjoy crime dramas in an authentic rustic setting.

Bubble Gum
...its simple, no-frills storytelling is refreshing, surrounded as we are by technically overwhelming and highly dramatic films with too much to say. Some could find the film refreshingly minimalist; but many will find it too sparse.

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.

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

Yeh Dooriyan
The film's subject could make for an interesting film, if the subject itself was interestingly executed.

Baby
The film is full of improbable developments, convenient cinematic license and absurd portions. The only redeeming features are the ensemble cast, a few engaging action portions and a fast-paced second half.

If you love Great Expectations, keep no expectations from this one. Else, be prepared to entranced by the visual splendor of the movie, and be disappointed by the lack of emotional connect.

Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?
The central flaw with the film is its failure to evoke sympathy for the central characters. Having suffered unbearable guests themselves, most viewers will find Chachaji’s antics harmless; even amusing.

Mirch
...a reasonably fun film about infidelity that's neither chauvinist nor feminist, or perhaps both!

Always Kabhi Kabhi
...despite the fleeting pleasant moments, remains an average high school drama.

Jodi Breakers
The story is told with the zest it deserves and is enhanced by the sparkling dialogue. Sadly, the director has a messed-up second half on his hands. Still, worth your while for the unusual story, interesting coupling, and the irreverent humour.

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.

Azhar
There is an attempt to showcase the grey shades of the central character, but the film majorly cops-out in the end.

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.
