For Real
Debutant director Sona Jain has composed a slight but sharp symphony on domestic harmony.

Dabangg
...this is a Salman Khan vehicle all the way. He gets to be funny, wicked and belligerent...sometimes all at once.

Emotional Atyachar : The Film
A hurried impatient narrative edited with brutal austerity, "Emotional Atyachar" is not every one's cup of tea.

Lafangey Parindey
...an inspirational tale told with as little fuss and as much feeling as cinematically possible.

Peepli [Live]
Anusha Rizvi is an astonishing addition to the repertoire of directorial forces that matter.

Aisha
Engaging and endearing Aisha makes you wonder if there’s anything more important in the world than finding the right match.

Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai
...the director’s command over the language of outlawry is unquestionable.

Khatta Meetha
See it for what the film leaves unsaid, though that’s hard to do when everyone is ceaselessly talking.

Lamhaa
Rahul Dholakia...doesn't lose his storytelling equilibrium even when the sitiuations of crises described by the skilfully-written plot scream for attention.

Tere Bin Laden
...is many notches above the run-of-the-mill satire, as a spectral swipe at Osama-phobia, Bush-bashing and global terrorism this one doesn’t quite make the cut.

Raavan
...constantly seeks out the dark recesses in its characters' heart. It does fall short in some of its emotional moments. But who said that a film about such fatally flawed people had to be picture-perfect?

Raajneeti
...not just a film that opens up the tattered edges of Indian politics. It dares to walk right into the muck with restraint, vigour and some sensitivity.

Bumm Bumm Bole
...a gentle but persuasive piece of work, not just for children -- though certainly about children who learn fast about the harsh realities of life.

It's a Wonderful Afterlife
...is one of those films that should not have happened. It is way too strained in concept and far too outlandish in execution.

Badmaash Company
...an extremely smart and smart-looking film. But its sassy all-knowing tone cannot hide a certain bankruptcy of genuinely inventive ideas.

Chase
...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.

Housefull
Worth watching for its mix of the wacky and the more tender variety of laughter.

City Of Gold
...not only marks the return of a storyteller who tells it like it is, without the comfort of shortcuts. It's also a macroscopic look at people who populate the fringes. Their silent protests are seldom heard in cinema.

Apartment
...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.

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...
