Saala Khadoos
Director Sudha Kongara Prasad has cramped too much in a 109 minutes film and in the process, made it a fleeting account as opposed to an arresting story.

Dilwale
In a bid to chase the Bollywood success formula of a masala flick, which Rohit Shetty undisputedly has cracked over the years, this film tried to pack too many punches in one. As a result, none are strong enough.

Shaandaar
The film is largely unreal, exaggerated and a not-so-Shaandaar continuation of Bahl’s work.

Drishyam
...isn’t an edge-of-the-seat thriller. In fact, it is one that makes you sit back and think.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan
...a sweet story, dusted with sugar, glazed with honey and dipped in saccharin. While the sugar rush can get a little dizzying in the start, it’s a matter of time before you acquire the taste for it.

Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho
The film resorts to very caricaturish writing and acting in parts, but the seasoned skills of Annu, Om and Sanjay come to the rescue.

Hamari Adhuri Kahani
The film boasts of fine actors, but cheesy dialogues and poorly sketched out characters and equations fail to create an impression, performance-wise.

Piku
Simple and soulful, it leaves a sweet aftertaste that lingers for a long time after the lights go off.

Kaagaz Ke Fools
After 190 minutes of excruciating film viewing, we learnt that the “fools” in the title of the film was probably suggestive of the people watching it.

Mr. X
That the film is in 3D doesn’t mean that it adds any more dimension to it. It is as much a yawn fest as it would’ve been in 2D.

NH10
...a heady concoction of anxiety, fear, shock and rage to say the least. Watch it only if you have the stomach for it, you've been warned.

Dum Laga Ke Haisha
The film does not offer as much comedy as it promises in the promo, but does manage to engage your senses for most part. After a point though, the plot loses momentum and becomes a bit of a drag.

Khamoshiyan
...the film does offer some shrieks and shocks if you keep aside rational thinking, and if you’re a horror junkie who’s in it only for the chills, you may walk out sufficiently spooked.

Alone
...the film gives a few thrills and chills that a horror film does, with its eerie background score and more often the impression of an ambush lurking in the crannies. There are however slip-ups that defy logic and continuity of script.

Happy Ending
Self-deprecating humour, charming as it may be, is a rarity in Hindi films and ‘Happy Ending’ is one such film. It takes a jibe at the ‘formula’ that most box office hits follow, even while it panders to it – albeit smartly.

Fireflies
The look of the film deceives you into believing that there is depth of content, but what it actually offers is an honest attempt at delivering it.

Finding Fanny
...reasserts the power of simple story telling, making it one of the most refreshing and delightful films of recent times.

Finding Fanny
...is one big déjà vu. Not because it is a sequel to an earlier Rohit Shetty blockbuster, but because the film is riddled with clichés and tried-and-tested antics.

Kick
Seen purely in the context of its genre, Kick is an entertainer worth a couple of hours of your time on the weekend...
