  • What an awful pity. When you see a film cough splutter and gasp its way to a slow painful death right in front of your eyes.

  • ...a relentless assault on your senses. Is this really the Farah Khan who gave us the smart and funny Main Hoon Na and Om Shanti Om?

  • ...once you are about five minutes into the film all you want to do is think fast and run faster. Right out of the preview hall.

  • This is just the sort of film that makes you wonder - Who funded this trash? Who put their faith and their money where their brain should be? And why should we tolerate such unacceptable cinema?

  • ...a harebrained slightly exasperating film that desperately tries to be cute and funny.

  • Ready

    Here's the thing. When it comes to a Salman Khan or a Rajnikant film, their performance is not important. It's the audience performance that counts. And the audience delivers every time.

  • Chance Pe Dance

    ...operates on the premise that stories about strugglers who slum it in Mumbai are interesting and identifiable. Unfortunately that isn’t to be.

  • Chalo Dilli

    This is one film that's screaming itself hoarse, lying on the floor throwing a tantrum saying, "I'm cool chick flick. Can't you see? I'm a cool, cool chick flick." Therein lies the tragedy.

  • Chalo Dilli

    ...decent first time effort. But it leaves you a little wistful. We keep wishing that films like these will finally overcome the boundaries of commerce and mediocrity and we are probably just there, metres from the finishing line.

  • Chalo Dilli

    There is a lot of quirkiness in the film and a dark wry humour. But while it has some largely interesting moments, YSZ is let down by its need to overstate itself. The narrative is bursting at its seams.

  • 7 Khoon Maaf

    ...where the film could have been deliciously dark, mad and off the rails, it ends up being just a disappointing above average weekend watch. Our hopes for a masterpiece of a film have just been done to death. Pity.

  • Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai

    ...has serious personality issues. It wants to please all sections of the audience and therein lies the snitch. Despite some fantastic screen moments, memorable punchlines and visuals, the film doesn’t really serve its purpose.

  • Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai

    ...might have worked better had it simply been subtitled and not dubbed. And even though it is a little long and laboured there are flashes of poignancy that may just stay with you long after the last reels have rolled.

  • Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai

    ...a film that will invoke wolf whistles and applause from its audience. It is gloriously massy. The movie knows its job and does it well. It does nothing out of the box to grab your attention and yet it does. Pretty easily. Watch it for its robust potboiler personality.
