Aladin
Director Ghosh's most ambitious venture till date is derailed by a tedious plot and dialogues. The mystery, fantasy world is overrun by a juvenile love story.

London Dreams
London Dreams is given a leg-up by a strong story let down in execution and technique.

Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani
Overall, not a bad choice for the weekend and likely to appeal to young viewers.

Tum Mile
...might have worked if it had stuck to the love story - about a mature relationship that sours when control and ego, dreams and ambition clash. A 26 July film it is not. If only it had not pretended to be.

Aao Wish Karein
...one wishes there had been more originality in the story and a little more fun in the telling.

Kurbaan
A tighter script and edit, less dubious politics and stronger characters could have made this a great thriller.

Kurbaan
Fans of the cast and team that have cornered the market on low budget ensemble pieces might find this enjoyable.

Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?
...the screenplay is weak, the basic premise engages to a point, after which you hear yourself echoing Puneet and Munmun’s plea: ‘Atithi tum kab jaoge?’ Because once he leaves you know the film will finally end.

Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?
There are surprises aplenty, and enough humour to keep you engaged.

Ekk Deewana Tha
A love story that validates regressive family values, besides being poorly scripted and executed.

Agent Vinod
A disjointed narrative, uninspired camerawork and set action pieces that fail to wow make this film a jumpy ride.

Housefull 2
An unbearable and offensive film with a convoluted plot comprising too many noisy characters.

Tezz
The tension never builds up, nor do you feel sympathy for any character. In other words, it lives up to expectations and is not worth the time or expense.

Ishaqzaade
The director captures small-town India perfectly and builds up his characters with requisite vigour. In spite of the choppy second hour, Ishaqzaade is still worth a watch.

The Forest
This movie with a message is not for the faint-hearted but for those with a stomach for thrills.

Department
If you accept that Varma is spoofing his own films and the genre of underworld action movies, then Department is hilarious!

Maximum
The script is a mess, and the film depends more on stylized shots and plenty of posturing.

Maximum
Given the wishy-washy story and the inept direction by Gurmeet Singh, the usually dependable actors, Kapadia and Manu Rishi, are unable to make anything out of it.

Fugly
...is faux-righteous, and the punctured script makes it silly, pretentious and technically wanting.

Bang Bang!
Knight and Day was mediocre at best. The remake comes with that legacy and even experienced writers like Sujoy Ghosh, Suresh Nair and Abbas Tyrewala are unable to add bang to this bland concoction.

Sonali Cable
The title is the only original and catchy element of this debut film by Charudutt Acharya...

Fireflies
The pace can be quite taxing as you wonder when he will reveal the point of his study of human relationships, fettered emotions, and final resolution.

Tevar
A number of tropes in this script, for instance the damsel in distress who whimpers and then falls hopelessly in love with her knight in shining armour, are, like this film, conservative and well past their sell-by date.

Dolly Ki Doli
An entertaining hindi film with a few laughs, quirky characters and a speedy narrative.
