Bharat
...is cursed by a mundane script and forceful attempt to get the entire audience in tears. It is a film that seems signposted as a vehicle to attract attention for its committed leading star Salman Khan, but thanks to the team behind it it ends up as a vehicle that never gets out of first gear.

Jai Ho
All said and endured, here’s the sort of average product which is immune to criticism. Say anything you honestly feel, down the decades it has been huffed – so what? That doesn’t make a jot of a difference.

Simmba
...is just another serviceable action movie that tastes like salted popcorn. It tastes good while it lasts, but eventually you end up rather dry and thirsty. It is all about glam and no substance.

Aligarh
Apart from the man's journey which the film informs in detail, there is nothing about the film that holds you in totality.

Sab Kushal Mangal
...save for the lead actor, nothing “kushal mangal” in this feeble comedy!

Raaz Reboot
Though the film has a few scary scenes, it ends up being a clichéd love story instead of a horror flick.

Ghanchakkar
...a half-baked, self-indulgent comedy, which strives to sprinkle some dark film noir elements towards the finale.

Ghanchakkar
...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.

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.

Bhavesh Joshi Superhero
...is more or less like India’s Justice League goes haywire. It is enjoyable in parts but you won’t lose out on anything if you miss this one rather watch any superhero flick from DC or Marvels.

The Sky Is Pink
I felt impaled by the film’s relentless emotional badgering, constant telling us, and not showing, how terribly tragic it all is.

Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola
...does opt for the satirical and faintly surrealistic mode which is commendable. But the outcome doesn’t amount to a satisfying stretch of entertainment.

Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi
...has a funny first half but pales and drags in the second. Sure the comedy is over the top and silly but if that is your cup of tea then a moderate entertainment for couple of hours is guaranteed.

Bhangra Paa Le
This sure was a nugget of a pure idea at the centre of this film; it’s plotting that is so straightforward that you would start second guessing the second half and will never get caught up in the predictable story.

Ladies VS Ricky Bahl
...strives to pack in so much lime, chutney and what-spice-you into its paper thin storyline that it could well have been titled Ricky Bhel Puri.

Mirza Juuliet
The biggest glitch in the film is its narrative. Shanti Bhushan who has written the dialogues and screenplay is clearly blind to the modern way of telling a story.

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.

The Accidental Prime Minister
...the film, coming as it does in election year, has an agenda — it’s politically motivated. And the motive of this tacky, third-rate propaganda piece is all too apparent in the story it wants us to go home with, and the characters it wants us to hate and love.

Shah Rukh Khan handles all the acting pyrotechnics. He's bankable in a film that isn't.

Singh Saab The Great
Snag is that both in the writing and the direction, the topic doesn’t move beyond mouthing the age-old cliches.

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.

Kajarya
Director is very realistic in her approach and doesn’t go preachy about it. However, with an inconsistent screenplay, it makes the film less engaging.

Rahasya
The film keeps us hooked, but it also irritates. It doesn’t deliver exactly what it promised to, but it does give us the confession we need to hear.

Sanam Teri Kasam
