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.

Gulaab Gang
Considering the subject's intense power and the charisma of these stars, the movie's hesitation with how to proceed stands out.

Katti Batti
This could've had the lusty, gutsy power of a full-blown French kiss - it ends up a pleasant but passing peck on the cheek.

Calendar Girls
He has his trademark touches of glamour, pathos and personalities but lacks power-packed acting to hold this together.

Sulemani Keeda
The film rises in straight scenes focusing on pretentious Gonzo and the pitiable writers. It wobbles elsewhere, with crudities that don't amuse...

Fugly
The result is like a soggy Delhi chaat where potentially spicy ingredients make a sorry mess. As F*ugly would phrase it, quite a f*waste.

Rush
...no amount of lip gloss, nor shiny suits can hide poor acting, which Rush features plenty of.

Aalaap
...a tense drama, portraying young college students caught in a violent political face-off. But like a guitar left out in humid air, its strings sag - and snap - at times.

Ab Hoga Dharna Unlimited
It's a cheeky little film - but you may find the laughter a challenge.

Joker
...a 'vegetarian' family dish that overloads the cheesy corn without adding common sense. Watch if you can digest well.

Dharam Sankat Mein
...there's simply too much here. The story tries to accommodate a whole host of issues, fake babas to real crimes, and fails.

Yamla Pagla Deewana 2
Minus 30 minutes, YPD 2 could have been much funnier - and much shorter.

Rakhtbeej
The idea of Rakhtbeej is to show how blood connects two men over two generations. Fine - except it's done very badly.

Dramatic music would've helped but it's missing. So is acting with depth and taut direction. All of which is a pity.

Department
Losing the plot and three strong stars, Department shoots itself in the foot.
