Break Ke Baad
...emerges as one of those love stories with a potential that gets squandered in an attempt to be constantly clever at the cost of sustaining the sensitivity that the two lead players build into their relationship.

...should be commended for attempting a socially-relevant theme with some amount of detachment and equanimity.

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.

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

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.

Hum Tum Aur Ghost
Arshad gets it right. The rest just don’t get the point.They see dead people.We see a dead film.

Gori Tere Pyaar Mein
Moments that are meant to be bitingly urbane and tongue-in-cheek end up being as flat as pancakes cooked for breakfast served in the evening.

Aladin
...the film’s faith in the nurturing qualities inherent in fantasy never flags.

Tum Milo Toh Sahi
Just for the pleasure of watching Nana Patekar and Dimple Kapadia together, this quaint and sincere look at love across three generations is well worth a 'dekko'.

Shagird
...is not devoid of merit. The Patekar characters affinity to vintage film songs gives a centre to an otherwise-doddering tale of desperate corruption.

Kajarya
...is not quite the long-legged social statement that the film’s well-researched plot would suggest. But it has its heart in the right place.

Zila Ghaziabad
If judgmental, one could be deeply offended by the unstopped flow of aggression and profanity. However, if in a lenient mind-space, the bloody battle for indeterminate causes could provide some amount of lowbrow fun.

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

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.

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.

Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?
Finally you aren’t watching a film about family ties but a film that ties up the family in reams and reams of comic chaos. Vulgarity and double-meanings strictly not admissible.

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

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
The scenic invariably overpowers the cynic in Karan Johar’s cinema. He loves the good things in life and dislikes the thought of the makeup being washed by tears of desolation.

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

Tere Bin Laden Dead Or Alive
What I found missing in the sequel was the audacity of the first film where the director and the team had nothing to lose.

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.
