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.

Madras Cafe
While one would like to like this movie, it’s an uphill task, with convoluted story-telling, out-of-sorts dialogue, no new perspective on an event that happened years ago, and placid acting.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

...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.

The film is worth a watch strictly for the cast and the songs. That’s if you’re willing to endure the unbelievably long and violent film for that.

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.

...a reasonably breezy watch. You might enjoy the contemporary romance, if you let the flaws pass.

1920 - Evil Returns
Ok so this a Vikram Bhatt horror film (who has directed it is secondary), which means all of the following – a tormented heroine, a spirit that possesses her, the romance, some mumbo-jumbo and lilting music.

...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.

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

Chance Pe Dance
Had the film retained its smart, humorous and authentic tone without falling into pattern, this would have been a great watch. For now, you’ll have to forgive the predictable second half if you want to enjoy Shahid’s uninhibited, charming performance.

Toonpur Ka Superrhero
The storytelling is flawed at several instances. But still, for the novelty and the relatively stronger second half, the film is worth a watch.

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.

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

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.
