Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi
...if you are willing to discount all that extra footage, you might actually end up rooting for Shirin, Farhad and their cutesy love story.

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.

Jism - 2
This is the kind of film many will go to watch no matter how bad we say it is simply because this is the closest they get to see an adult star take her clothes off on the big screen in India.

Bol Bachchan
If you liked Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Golmaal, which you sure did, you would want to protest this assault on one of the effortlessly funny films of all time. Here, the effort shows in every scene.

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

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.

Shanghai
With not a single dull moment and every department in fine form, this is tour de force filmmaking. Simply one of the best and bravest films you will see this year.

Rowdy Rathore
The film wears the kitsch-as-entertainment badge on its heart to unleash the cheesiest, corniest and campiest of cliches.

Yeh Khula Aasmaan
The film unwinds at a lazy, sluggish pace which in itself wouldn't have been such a bad thing if it did create genuinely heart-warming moments without relying on melodrama or a sentimental overdose.

Department
It's high time the filmmaker struggling with form realised that this nauseatingly gimmicky camerawork he has been afflicted with in his last few films distracts from the story.

Dangerous Ishhq
So long that a ticket to purgatory hell seems like the better bargain between the two.

Ishaqzaade
Writer-Director Habib Faisal succeeds to a great extent in crafting an unpredictable first half full of spunk and spirit, but plays it boringly safe in the second, offering no new solutions or fresh perspectives in a story that has been done to death.

Jannat 2
This is the kind of film that would have gone straight to video in Hollywood, made strictly for a niche audience of a niche film. So dont worry about missing this. Just a matter of time before they make it again as Jannat 3.

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.

Bumboo
A wannabe Bheja Fry, this crass, scatalogical humour-infested stagey remake is just about funny enough to make you source out the French original Lemmerdeur "A Pain in the Ass".

Blood Money
A sincere Kunal Khemu aside, this is a cheesy, predictable, over-the-top adult-rated modern-day adaptation of Hansel and Gretel.

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.

London Paris New York
...makes for a great date as you get a quick walking tour of the cities (cinematography by Sameer Arya), all for the price of a movie ticket and you'll be back in less than 100 minutes.

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

3 Idiots
...delivers an entertaining narrative that shifts gears between comic-book humour and heavy-duty drama with ease.
