Khandaani Shafakhana
It’s like building a crescendo effect with all ingredients in place and allowing all elements to peter out. The end result is that it gets funny and sweet in spots, though the light moments get lost in the haze of imitation and lack of any ambition.

Rang Rasiya
It establishes that the painter-artist's life is a powerful story that needs to be told by a better, more accomplished director and actors.

Rocky Handsome
...despite good performances from the leading cast, the film fails to hold the viewers' interest.

Raag Desh
...is an average film with an untold factual story. The film could have been much better plus in the era of commercial films, Raag Desh is a niche in its own genre.

Panipat
Directors like Gowariker do no service to the nation or their audience by twisting the truth, ignoring military, diplomatic, common sense follies and rewriting history with jingoistic fervour. They condemn us to repeat historical wrongs.

Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya
All said and endured, it isn’t a shudderfiesta. If you have some goodwill for the Deshmukhs, it’ll help considerably.

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
The scenic invariably overpowers the cynic in Karan Johar’s cinema. He loves the good things in life and dislikes the thought of the makeup being washed by tears of desolation.

Baahubali 2: The Conclusion
...is just an overrated piece of art but, at the same time, holds good entertainment factor for the ardent fans of the franchise.

Bajatey Raho
...crude, functional only in fits and starts, and with broken bits taped together.

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.

Kerry on Kutton
The film is flawed, not just in pacing, but also some characters. But nothing that damages it in any serious way.

Pati Patni Aur Woh
...it would have made for a much more engaging retelling of a B.R. Chopra naughty classic.

Chalk N Duster
A little more finesse could have helped Chalk n Duster emerge a topper in the genre. With a subject like this, telling the story well was as important as telling it at all.

Rock On 2
Even though the filmmaker tried hard to match up to the standards set by Abhishek Kapoor in 'Rock On', he unfortunately failed in his attempt.

Daddy
If you like slow and dark crime dramas, then Daddy is certainly for you, but if you are seeking a pacy period thriller, then you will be highly disappointed.

De De Pyaar De
if you take this film for what it is, you'll probably enjoy it, which is - frivolous fun; but with this caliber of the cast, it's a little disappointment.

I Me Aur Main

War Chhod Na Yaar

Kill Dil
...flirts with the idea of having rotten men as its lead pair. It even seems to enjoy their bloody bonhomie. But it chickens out. What a shame! And what a waste!

Charlie Kay Chakkar Mein
...a mix cocktail of drugs, cops, gangsters and youngsters, which could have been made deliciously! Advice not to sip.

Naam Shabana
The film could have been better paced, all thanks to the under-cooked narrative. Naam Shabana is a throw away effort from director Shivam Nair and producer Neeraj Pandey, where the only saving grace is Taapsee’s act.

Agent Vinod

Fukrey
Lucklessly, none of the four overgrown boys of 'Fukrey' out here arouse your empathy or curiosity. In fact, they’re as irritating as monsoon mosquitoes.

Miss Lovely
The titillation sought to be vended in Ashim Aluhwalia’s 'Miss Lovely' is strictly of the smirk-smirk variety, suffused with abstractions, cynicism and distractions, great for the international film festival circuit but so off-the-mark and shallow for anyone who has had a smidgen of interest in the C-graders of yore...

Kedarnath
...does have some genuinely likable moments but when the monotony of the drama gets exposed, the film's pace breaks down and the entertainment level drops.
