Dirty Politics
A very poorly executed film which makes you feel sorry for the body-politic of the nation.

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.

Rahasya
This is a dark, desperate, sinister, gutsy and gripping thriller which may not tilt you to the edge of the seat. But you do want to know who killed the teenaged girl Ayesha Mahajan.

Roar: Tigers Of The Sundarbans
...suffers from an over-written, excessively punctuated plot that groans and heaves forward wheezing with baggage fatigue.

Sonali Cable
It is a very original and intelligent script, deftly edited and performed.

Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami
...deserves a 21-gun salute. It has a heart and it doesn’t hesitate in letting it show.

3 A.M.
...doesn't rely on too many external props to wean us in its favour. It stays true to the horror genre without buckling under the pressure of perpetuating terror. The frights flow naturally.

Desi Kattey
...a surprisingly watchable, though at times stretched out beyond belief, yarn yoking crime and sports in a way that we haven't seen in any film.

This quirky charmer from first-time director Nitin is fresh in vision and enchanting in execution.

Children Of War
This isn't really a film. It's a work of art, tempestuous and terrific.

Koyelaanchal
Applaud the director for flavouring the Indian heartland with a plot that reads like pulp fiction but feels like a slice of ugly Indian history.

Manjunath
Thank god for Manjunath, who is not a man but a metaphor for that rapidly evaporating cult of idealism that we thought died with Hrishikesh Mukherjee.

Yeh Hai Bakrapur
You may not be overwhelmed by Vishwanathan's satire. But you won't come away without a smile and smirk in this sly look-see at rural India where every second citizen is a certifiable attention-seeker.

Kya Dilli Kya Lahore
As a director Vijay Raaz, is not in search of solutions to the age-old cross-border conflicts. There is a deliberate staginess to the proceedings, a pronounced verbosity that never gets cumbersome, because, like I said, the writing has a distinct and distinctive 'quoting' edge without getting show-offy.

2 States
...creates a world where characters don't shout to be heard. They just belong to a world where being proper, politically or otherwise, is not always a pre-condition.

Ragini MMS - 2
...is so enamoured by its luscious leading lady's lusty past that it doesn't know what it wants to be. Neither horrifying nor sexy...

Lakshmi
...a powerfully told inspirational tale that doesn’t brush the brutal reality of sexual exploitation under the rug.

Queen
There are some films that you simply don't want to end. And when they do, you want to spring out of your seat and give the darned thing a standing ovation. "Queen", directed by Vikas Bahl is that rarity.

Total Siyapaa
An audacious comedy that dares to poke fun at a border issue, the film is stylised and is attentively staged.
