Dishkiyaoon
Baweja fails to commander it and his lacklustre screen presence is not the only reason Dishkiyaoon fails to make an impact.

O Teri
Superfluous songs, poor characterization, sloppy editing and shoddy writing are just a few of the problems with O Teri.

Ragini MMS - 2
Our suggestion: watch the first half of Ragini MMS or get hold of The Conjuring. These films accomplish in doing what Ragini MMS 2 fails to.

Lakshmi
It's one thing to show torture on screen to make viewers cringe at the violence. It's quite another if viewers feel like they have seen a film which is filled with unforgivably cringeworthy moments.

Gulaab Gang
It doesn't take long to realise that Gulaab Gang has adopted a familiar route. A wrong is committed. There's the search for justice. It is achieved with fierce fighting. And then there's a song to celebrate the good times.

Table No. 21
Bhatt initially keeps the audience engaged with a quick pace and amusing vignettes such as a machine which measures the decibel levels of a slap. But he loses his grip in the second half, especially as the audience is able to put together the clues and predict the game’s end.

Heroine
The saving grace of this film is Kapoor, who holds her own despite an inept screenplay that is keen to sensationalize rather than empathize for the protagonist.

Raaz 3
Vikram Bhatt, the current caretaker of Ramsay’s camp horror legacy, employs the tried- and-tested formulae: translucent white curtains blow, doors creak, untraceable husky voices deliver threats, all of which never quite draw out a scream.

Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi
The movie could have risen to become a nuanced drama about a couple in their forties, struggling to balance between their familial responsibilities and matters of heart. Instead we get a hokey love story that never quite beguiles or tickles.

Somewhere in the 90 minutes is a story that tells us nothing new or fascinating about the nexus between the cops and the underworld.

Delhi Belly
While Khan and off-screen stand up comedian Das also live up to their parts, the film doesn't work in bits. There's no real emotional core to the characters.

Pyaar Ka Punchnama
Director and writer Luv Ranjan seems to have a string of bad breakups. Only that can explain why the villains in his debut movie are the girlfriends – who are difficult, demanding, unfathomable and annoying.
