Zanjeer
This remake is wrong on so many levels that I don’t know where to begin. This isn’t a film. It’s sacrilege.

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Ultimately, there is enough eye-candy in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani to see you through, but I wish the film had more meat and less dressing.

Vicky Donor
...is one of those rare Hindi films that work purely on the strength of writing and performances.

The Lunchbox
...my favourite love story of the year. It’s sweet, sad and deeply aching.

The Attacks Of 26/11
...a powerful subject watered down by ineffective story-telling. This could have and should have been so much more.

Tezz
Even if you can get past the foolishness of this premise, Tezz has little to offer.

Talaash
To watch Talaash is to embark on a passionate love affair that ends in frustration because the object of your desire reveals itself to be shallow and depressingly ordinary. In short, a profound anti-climax.

Table No. 21
...director Aditya Datt creates a reality game show-revenge saga that gathers some steam in the last act, but by then it’s too little, too late.

Student Of The Year
Karan Johar's forte is excess. He creates fantastical worlds brimming with beautiful people and expensive things and yet anchors them in high emotion. His films work as both designer porn and soap opera. The pleasure you derive from his films is directly connected to your tolerance of candy floss.

Son Of Sardaar

Shahid
Shahid is Raj Kumar’s triumph. His Shahid has strength, anguish and a controlled anger, but also real charm. His smile lights up the frame. See Shahid for him.

Shaadi Ke Side Effects

Satyagraha
If good intentions were enough to make good movies, Satyagraha would be a masterpiece.

Satya 2
This film has no connection – either in quality or in narrative – with the first.

Rowdy Rathore
...beats you to a pulp, cinematically. It's a relentless assault that kicks in as soon as the credit titles roll.

Revolver Rani
If you like uplifting, cheerful cinema, then this isn’t the movie for you. But if, like me, you can enjoy bad people doing bad things, then Revolver Rani will be fun.

Rajjo
...a delirium of bewildering narrative, inane dialogue, bad acting and general all-around absurdity that becomes, unintentionally, pure comedy.

Ragini MMS - 2
The problem is that the characters are such insipid, low-IQ cretins that you are hoping that the murderous chudail gets them soon. The writing is so sloppy that eventually it becomes unintentionally funny.
