Sarbjit
The direction depicts a human being and a human truth - individuals often face prisons of politics where the innocent can be shackled in darkness.

Bombay Talkies
...a good experiment, celebrating movies, mindsets and Mumbai's moods - but it isn't the coolest film doing so.

Sultan
...it's more a large lassi, not an espresso shot. But hey - who drinks espresso on Eid?

Main Tera Hero
It has the depth of a comic strip but it also has its neon-shaded fun. For those who want a light laugh, here's your boy.

Dishoom
...as an entertainer, Dishoom delivers. If you're good with laughter, not logic, Dishoom is actually two much fun.

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo
Ghee-soaked in goodness, PRDP is gift-wrapped with a simple line. With family, stand strong - but also bow.

OMG Oh My God!
...conveys a serious message this festive season - God is to be found in human beings. And, rather like Hindi films of an earlier age, it does so in a light and unusual way.

Mohenjo Daro
...its scale and imagination make it an interesting watch - as does the intriguing notion of Hrithik as India's first pratham sevak.

D-Day
...is explosive at three levels. The plot crackles. The acting sears. And the music flares with passion.

Chittagong
Like a Chittagong orchid, the movie takes time to blossom - but when it does, it's beautiful.

A Flying Jatt
...provides clean entertainment - with its innocence, it evokes more Haathi Mere Saathi and less cool-cat Krrish.

Fitoor
...Dickens' Great Expectations rises and falls, exploring terrible, tantalising class, social climbing, sharp snobberies, love, hate and shame. Fitoor doesn't dive beyond the surface though...

Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola
...this movie could have been so much more. Like champagne gone flat, the film's left lying about for too late, its plot meandering everywhere, the director so determined to have fun that often, the viewer doesn't.

Inkaar
Polished-looking, its edges - the tension of feeling harassed at work, office politics, ego flashes - hold rather well. But its centre collapses in a soft mess.

Brothers
...despite mouthing, 'Har sport mein thora drama toh hota hai', only skims that dramatic surface. It could've dived in deeper.

Hate Story
Appreciate, if you will, the thriller, not the diet-erotica - that's rather an anti-climax.

All Is Well
Technical shabbiness is the film's weakest link. There are plot glitches and dated touches.

Delhi In A Day
Its hard to depict a world where jharus and jazz co-exist. DIAD does that, hesitant but sensitive all the way.

Jolly L.L.B.
...works because of its bigger point - decency is for all and worth fighting for. Using bittersweet satire and plot twirls, the film shows corruption even used against the corrupt.

Tezz
...you're left wishing Tezz had more dramatic face-offs between its fine actors but instead, the film diverts into several tracks too many.
