Befikre
When a film doesn’t have a plot, even good performances can’t save it from sinking. ‘Befikre’ is like any other love story and seems more like a holiday trip for the film’s team.

Shab
An avoidable and disappointing affair, especially if you hold an expectation of a typical Onir film.

Bombairiya
...there is more drama than anything else (the three writers possibly said: Plot? What’s that?) to keep the viewers engaged.

Ek Paheli Leela
My only humble request is that the next director who gets to sign Ms Leone in a title role and the film is certified A, no time must be wasted in telling a story.

Bullett Raja
Tigmanshu Dhulia is best when he opts for content drawn for reality instead of flying off into an absurd land where everyone detests one another with a vengeance.

Ek Villain
Watch the film for Riteish and Riteish alone just to see how effortlessly he slips out of his farcical ‘Humshakals’ pinafore into the heinous hood of ‘Ek Villain’.

Why Cheat India
If you thought that Soumik Sen’s Why Cheat India comes up with an answer, or at least looks at the aforementioned psychological concerns among children and their behavioural issues that often lead to suicides with grave concern, you’d be disappointed.

Revolver Rani
...is stocked with many interesting elements, in its story, in the characterisation, in the satire. But the film fails to make its intentions clear.

Dharam Sankat Mein
Somewhere in the idea of making a film about Hindu-Muslim identity lurks a noble thought. But Dharam Sankat Mein is a low IQ film that is not really up for the task it sets for itself.

Jazbaa
Director Sanjay Gupta seems too focused in coloring his frames green to work on the tonality of the story.

Mohenjo Daro
The film looks grand and the era he created in 2016 BCE is commendable. However, he fails in telling a story since the plot is weak.

Babumoshai Bandookbaaz
The issue with the film is its cluttered screenplay. There are so many things running at the same time that the film loses its original track.

Romeo Akbar Walter
A good spy thriller has to have a plot that is plausible. That is something RAW lacks.

...could have done with a tighter grip in the storytelling, at least one chartbuster track and better art direction...

Lekar Hum Deewana Dil
Unfortunately, in Lekar Hum Deewana Dil the movie, the characters are so lost hamming away; we forget they’re supposed to be in love.

Dear Dad
Director Tanuj Bhramar could have explored gay relationships deeper. But in this film, he is almost content to let it all rest with a son's acceptance -- if willy-nilly -- of his father's sexuality.

Bhoomi
The film might not bore you but it is certainly not one of the most interesting revenge sagas made in recent times.

Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana
To a large extent, Luv Shuv… doesn’t work because of Kunal Kapoor’s weak, uninspired performance.

Fitoor
...doesn't lack pace, it lacks the finesse and the depth. And we are left with not much to do except marvel at the white beauty of Kashmir, while the real Pip, Estella and Miss Havisham remain buried under that thick blanket of snow, perhaps occasionally stirring in their graves.

Firangi
The film could have been crisper. First half is interesting, but the film loses out on its climax, which is unrealistic and funny. It is a royal mess of the highest order.

The look of the film deceives you into believing that there is depth of content, but what it actually offers is an honest attempt at delivering it.

Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyun Aaata Hai?
Ranade’s Albert Pinto Ko… is only interested in expressing its gussa. And that made me gussa.

Bobby Jasoos
After a promising start, the story unnecessarily meanders into a family drama towards the end and you are left wondering where is the detective. But she is busy wiping off her tears with her dupatta.

Nanu Ki Jaanu
...is simply a misconceived film which holds no fun, surprises and entertainment. The film seems to have no purpose. If you have your bets on a bad film, it is a clear winner!

Namaste England
With poor-plot, banal lead characters and overall nothing really interesting, Namaste England is a romantic-comedy that falls short on both accounts.

Judgemental Hai Kya
The good aspects of the film just can't salvage the fact that the central story has not been worked out with enough rigor. The film spins its wheels beautifully, but it simply has nowhere to go.
