  • Toh Baat Pakki

    ...is as inert at its centre as s clock that stopped ticking while you were sleeping. Avoid, even if you are a diehard Tabu fan. In fact please avoid IF you are Tabu fan.

  • Dirty Politics

    ...reads like a frighteningly disembodied episode, neither passionate nor bloody enough to qualify as a genuine slasher flick, of a television mini-series built around the theme of suburban loneliness.

  • Barkhaa

    The story tends to veer dangerously close to the theatrical, specially after mid-point when the proceedings begin to veer absurdly close to the outrageous.

  • Barkhaa

    ...never quite overcomes the cheesy impulse, moving from one absurd episode to another, not quite the pacy thriller that one would think the introductory chase would lead us into.

  • Crazy Cukkad Family

    ...gets details of the period and locations in place. But the inner conviction and a genuine passion that made Anil Sharma’s Gadar: Ek Prem Katha so special are completely absent...

  • Khamoshiyan

    ...makes you shiver. But not in fear. It just makes you shake in embarrassment for all the ghosts and spirits who are so royally snubbed and insulted by such travesties of terror.

  • The Japanese Wife

    What could have been a poignant and haunting tale of love, under- standing and marriage between two people from different cultures and countries ends up being just a misconstructed series of verbal exchanges on the soundtrack...

  • Ishqiya

    How do we evaluate Ishqiya beyond its politically-charged verbally-lurid lunge at realism? Is the film to be applauded for forging a new language of expression? Or should that language have been used with more restrain and tact ?

  • Shivaay

    As far as scrutinizing a gay relationship is concerned, this ain't a patch on Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain. But still...It tries.

  • Raaz 3

    Vikram Bhatt springs a spook spree that offers viewers the irresistible bait of horror and sex. You wait for the horror to get sexy. Instead the sex gets progressively horrific.

  • Coffee With D

    ...is like an unfinished unpolished version of what could have been a rollicking run-in into a ruminative session between Indian's biggest fugitive and loudest journalist. If only it had allowed more leg-space to lunge in the lap of the ludicrous.

  • Jai Ho! Democracy

    ...the enormously accomplished actors struggle against the tedium of repetitive jokes about the banality of parliamentarian exchanges.

  • Tamasha

    ...is a film with ambitions of being mature and experienced. It creates an alternate reality for its principal characters and lets their emotions grow naturally to a point. But then the journey gets tiring for everyone concerned.
