Table No. 21
Can't say if you will like what Table No. 21 leaves you with but while you are at it, you are likely to have a good time.

Agent Vinod
While the basics make sure that Agent Vinod is way better than run-of-the-mill Bollywood, our standards for Sriram Raghavan are sky high. This is a disappointment only because we expect a lot more from the guy who takes his time and dedicates himself completely to films.

Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami
If you are willing to suspend disbelief for the outrageous second half after a realistic first, you might just dig this heart warming ode to the common man.

Mary Kom
Priyanka Chopra rises above a generic script, predictable treatment and an extremely manipulative narrative.

Shootout At Wadala
...is pulpy, kitschy, Bollywood masala that makes no bones about its intentions: To titillate.

Bittoo Boss
...is the poor man's Band Baja Baraat but with a voice of its own. What's admirable is it wears that poor man's badge with pride.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
Farhan’s terrific, the film melodramatic, mostly good but should have been rightly called ‘Chal Milkha Bahut Time Hai’ given its slow, indulgent pace.

Ram-leela
If you are in the mood for a sensory overdose, this might just be your favourite Bhansali film. Else, just go watch it for the leads. They are scorching hot and super talented. And that just might be reason enough.

Gangs Of Wasseypur 2
You might wish it had a deeper emotional core or some meaning but Kashyap just wants to leave his fingerprints over every frame without judging who’s right and who’s wrong.

The Shaukeens
While the main plot is a bit of a downer, the unexpected laughs from Akshay Kumar more than make it worth your time.

Talaash
If you are willing to settle for the basics of the genre, you will have a great time watching it, especially if you have no idea of what’s coming.If you are searching for meaning, realism, logic or a complex plot, you are barking up the wrong tree.

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
An understated romance that takes ages to unfold but rich in detail.

Lakshmi
A gritty film that works largely because of the subject and sensitive treatment if you have the stomach for gore.

Bajatey Raho
...is like that song on the radio that you have heard a few times before but don't mind only because it’s better than the songs playing on other stations.

The Attacks Of 26/11
...is probably the most definitive modern Ram Gopal Varma film. It’s the epitome of inconsistency.Of crassness. Of insensitivity. Of horror. Of atheism. Of audacity. Of voyeurism.

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu
A new beginning for Hindi cinema except that every other scene is inspired by another film.

Hawaizaada
...despite all the painstaking effort that’s gone into recreating an era, is devoid of anything even remotely exciting and given the material and the premise, this is a criminal waste of an idea.

2 States
It is a pretty decent translation that will work for fans of the book and those who haven’t read it but given the potential of the material, it falls a little short.

Singham Returns
This average masala cop film takes itself a little too seriously and wastes quite a bit of time brooding and singing.

One By Two
Great characters, quite a few moments of quirk and some good lines let down by shoddy storytelling.

Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola
...a film that’s clearly having fun, spouting philosophy for a bit, revelling in its energetic singing and uninhibited dancing, sometimes brooding and sometimes talking gibberish. While it’s fun, can’t say it’s consistently funny. Because this is a moody drunkard of a film.

Gangs Of Wasseypur
All that coolth and pop realism may do well with the die hard Kashyap cult but for the rest of us who paid to watch a bloody saga of revenge, it seems like a long wait at the circus.

Hunterrr
In its current form, this Hunterrr is more horny than trigger-happy. He just walks around with a gun and rarely fires — except once in the whole film.

Ghanchakkar
...though it is fun as you watch it unfold, it is also mostly forgettable, offering us very few moments to hold on to.

Maximum
There are a couple of gripping moments but they come in too late, way after our interest in the film is long dead.

Lootera
...I found myself restless in my seat, bored by the indulgence of a filmmaker to turn what seemed like a short, fun story with a smart twist on paper into an unwarranted drama with epic delusions of tragedy.
