Ready
...this is a mindless comedy. The quality of the gags is often higher than what we usually get in Bollywood comedies. But the film suffers from an overloaded narration. There is too much effort to cram in "entertainment" at every possible level.

A well-intended sawach-aur-saaf-suthri comedy Badmaashiyaan is a curiously content-driven rom-com with one of the most consistently wicked female protagonists I've seen in recent cinema from Bollywood or Hollywood.

Lahore
The film has too much to say on sports, politics and human nature. It isn't able to say all of it in a lucid language.

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.

Striker
You feel you are there in the slums with Arora's characters. But you aren't sure you want to be there. We never stay long enough with the characters to get to know them well.

Makkhi
This may not be the classic waiting to be re-discovered. But Makkhi holds our attention right to the end. It is a conventional love story turned into a ferociously innovative saga by one masterstroke.
