Kaanchli Life in a Slough
The onscreen adaptation is not that winning but undeniably Dedipya Joshii manages to keep the heart in the right place.

Veere Di Wedding
...a well performed and gorgeously looking Balaji’s soap opera that fails in giving that ‘charam sukh’ (lacks soul).

Befikre
..a.dds nothing innovative to Bollywood's rom-com genre in its plot and just fulfills the dharma (duty) of a rom-com to please its 25 and less aged target audience who are not that demanding as far as their cinema (read movie outing) is concerned.

Banjo
Banjo at the most and in all generosity is a TIME PASS only if you love Riteish Deshmukh more than anything else.

Chef
...fails to give the 'burps' of satisfaction expected from a good enjoyable meal. The Indian thali served in Chef definitely has couple of delicious dishes to relish but the overall experience leaves us hungry for more.

Shivaay
...must have started with the ambition to reach the highest peak but unfortunately, gets buried in the avalanche of a routine story that lacked any glory.

Indu Sarkar
Call it push and pull of art and box office requirements or getting caged by your own belief and faith. The reviewer over here in his opinion has found the filmmaker influenced by his political belief which fails to give this political drama its required justice and much needed edge.

Bhavesh Joshi Superhero
The first half is successful in establishing the premise and a grand take off ( Udaan) is promised but alas, the farfetched approach, the loneliness of the super hero Bhavesh Joshi, his inability to go all out at the monsters of corruption turns this potential quirky dark and edgy superhero flick into more of a personal vendetta saga.

Rangoon
...is an epic misfire and the movie has demonstrated the desperation of Bhardwaj in trying to please the gallery in the end and that is more alarming.

Mahayoddha Rama
...while pleasing the toddler, tries to impress the grown up and unfortunately slips from their laps also.

Sab Kushal Mangal
Director Karan Viswanath Kashyap and actor co writer Brijendra Kala, fail to shape this potential quirky funny delight into an absorbing event on screen as they fall short of ideas/gags after a while.

Ittefaq
...could have marked the entry of Abhay Chopra as a graceful, mysterious, demanding story teller that leaves a baffling effect on the audience, the helmer shows traces of his potential by creating and sustaining the mood of the genre but his calibre as a story teller is defeated by the plot.

Sargoshiyan
...began with a whisper but failed terribly to become a voice thanks to the maker's choice to say everything but actually failing in making the audience to hear and/or give an ear to anything.

Baaghi 3
Things over here are innocently juvenile in the name of an action packed thriller suited for those who still find pleasure in those chor police, ram leela kind of plays/games we play when we are in our primary schools.

Force 2
Nothing much engulfs, intrigues or sustains your interest in this 'forced' sequel to Force.

Mirza Juuliet
Packing minimum punch and refraining to go deep under, this rural thunder is mostly a blunder that is redeemed by some fine performances.

Sniff
Lack of subplot, and no proper characterization of supporting cast that includes father (Manmeet Singh) and grandma (Surekha Sikri) adds to the wounds.

1921
There is a degree of eerie feelings during the first half for the diehard bollywood horror buffs but shockingly, the second half is cursed.

Khajoor Pe Atke
Harsh Chayya may have tried to please all in his first attempt but manages some moments and fine performances, the movie which stars as a quirky, dark comedy ends up as a mishmash of everything and fails to get that emotional connect.

Madaari
It's disappointing to see a relevant backdrop to the story fails to make the impact and further the hackneyed and hurried climax adds to the wounds.

A Gentleman
...is a stylishly packed action drama which is attractive but not enough to make you fall in love.

Baar Baar Dekho
Though Katrina Kaif and Sidharth Malhotra charm, this predictable and unnecessarily long and prolonged rom com wrapped in such a boring mumbo jumbo about time travel that we finally just don't care.

Hate Story IV
Whatever Hate Story IV is, one thing is for sure, either you love it, or hate it but you cannot ignore it, franchises like Hate Story IV will be popping up till the existence of mankind and provide titillations to its target front benchers and earn money.

Mantra
...could have been an intelligent film commenting on the post-liberalization years but it's a mish mash of family drama in the brand trauma of getting lost in the package of the MNC giant.

Do Lafzon Ki Kahani
Though the movie is faithful to its believe on love, the presentation lacks novelty. The makers should have understood that love is blind but lovers of good love story are not.
