Jism - 2
It's like Sunny Leone's assets are the script, screenplay and sole purpose of Jism 2 and everyone outside that -- Hooda, Singh, Zakaria or the audience -- is obliged to wag their tongues with thrill. Well, duh, for thinking otherwise.

Teri Meri Kahaani
Kohli dilutes the chance of a wholesome, affable entertainer down by his predilection for risk-free conclusions.

Chhota Bheem And The Curse Of Damyaan
If the cheering laughs of Kangna and other kids in the theatre are any indication, your little one is going to lap it up.

Vicky Donor
...loses some of its sperm, er steam, in the second half when the sentimental, ethical reasoning creeps in, it feels a bit avoidable and protracted. Except by then you have begun to care too much for these characters and its unassuming vibe to create a ruckus.

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu
...is neither on the epic side like Dharma Productions' great, grand ancestors nor weighed down by an overload of pop culture references of those that define the genre. Instead the confection's appeal lies in its underplayed wit, quirky within plausibility protagonists and a refreshing disregard for conventional conclusions.

Rascals
Dhawan sponges a bunch of comedies from his own stable and outside to rustle up a series of misadventures that are dumb, dated and dreary.

Force
For a genre that works purely on moronic logic and one-note screenplay, Force never had much to accomplish in the first place. But its complete lack of individuality or snap makes it a boring, banal, blah and bleak experience.

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan
...a pretty ordinary effort. It's the kind of movie where everyone looks catalogue cool and beams with enthusiasm to make the going-ons appear droll and exciting.

Bodyguard
...while Dabangg offered a precise volume of coolness and chutzpah, Ready went overboard with the shtick. Bodyguard, meanwhile, is on the underwhelming side.

It's not a flawless film that will change the course of cinema but a relevant one...

Game
For its entire obsession with ambiance, Game is, at heart, a frustratingly old-fashioned murder mystery.

Patiala House

Yeh Saali Zindagi
The idea is to project mess and chaos. Indeed surplus characters and subplots often make YSZ an overwhelming experience to endure. But if you are up for the challenge to explore Delhi's shifty facet, it's rewarding too.

...the prospect of zero individuality in a creative medium is hardly a deal breaker. And it's definitely not cool anymore.

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.

Lafangey Parindey
...like its attention-grabbing title, is unapologetically superficial with a brief attention span. It doesn't dwell too long on the possible complications or questions that may arise in its protagonist's lives and conveniently wiggles out of/wraps up any uneasy development.
