Dabangg 3
Lacking the calibre to create something fresh, the makers pick on the most popular attributes of the original -- the catchy dialogues, the quirky name by scribbling the sloppiest possible Chulbul Pandey origins that does little besides prolong the Dabangg 3 torture to nearly three hours long.

Thugs Of Hindostan
...is 1980s schlock at its most forgettable. Every single gesture, smile and betrayal of this 164-minutes long drag is done-to-death predictable.

Baaghi 3
...hits rock bottom of the birdbrained franchise through its course of two and a half hours of reason defying, mind numbing, soul destroying free-for-all.

Aiyaary
It's a bloated, prolonged mess of misplaced purpose that digresses from military misdeeds to animal cruelty.

Housefull 3
Ritesh Deshmukh can see. Abhishek Bachchan can talk. Akshay Kumar can walk. And I, somehow, survived Housefull 3. That, ladies and gentleman, is the real miracle.

Marjaavaan
Nothing can salvage the Marjaavaan mess -- not religious symbols tattooed on Malhotra's knuckles, the two-and-a-half hours of hysterically hamming people, the boisterous background score, the stale imagination, the burly giants, the phony rain, the cheap blood, the microwave romance, the laboured hostility, the incessant babbling on mohabbat and ibadat, not Arjit Singh yowling in a loop.

Bhoomi
...Bhoomi’s blood-splattering, bone-crunching vigour is as unwelcome as the rest of this ghastly movie.

Dil Juunglee
...may reward his conceit for jumping into the water, but that won't wash his sins away or make suffering fools a love story.

Saaho
After nearly three excruciating hours of clueless chaos and random action between cops pretending to be crooks and crooks pretending to be cops, my spirit is clobbered and crippled. I still have no idea what I just saw.

Teraa Surroor
If watching a 100-something minutes long music video starring a deadpan, poor man's Sunil Shetty strutting self-importantly in Salman's hand-me-down is your kind of entertainment, book your ticket RIGHT NOW.

Desi Kattey
What’s particularly daft about Desi Kattey -- an insipid mishmash of just about every script engaging two friends going separate ways meets underdog sports hero -- is how forced the events look.

Sadiyaan
Kanwar not only rakes an old-fashioned subject, his treatment is outmoded too. And there's nothing vintage about that.

Pagalpanti
...Pagalpanti's script is stuff of pre-schooler dreams. The performances, too, are better suited for a school play.

Emotional Atyachar : The Film
It tries so visibly hard to be tough, murky, sassy and, most laughably, clever that it's impossible to find any redeeming aspects in its devoted wannabeism.

Roy
...is so tangled in its inflated, erratic ideas of a pseudo mystery around parallel lives and loves that it ceases to make sense even before it takes off. Mostly, though, it's just slow torture.

Badmashiyaan
Wearing incoherence like a badge, Badmashiyaan proceeds to and fro exhausting the viewer with its relentless lunacy and shabby screenwriting.

Bhaiaji Superhittt
Such gigs have outlived their shelf life and do little more than humiliate our nostalgia for a shopworn action hero when a movie stinks as badly as Bhaiaji Superhit.

Race 3
