Son Of Sardaar
...this purported entertainer may be a notch above Rowdy Rathore and Ready, but that’s it.

Roy
While the film is shot beautifully, its the story that falls flat mainly because it is packed with too much randomness in the name of art and intensity.

Hero
He has co-written the film’s screenplay and that’s where the film’s first major problem sits. The second is his direction.

Raman Raghav 2.0
...director Anurag Kashyap tries hard to impress by showing a blood bath and scary facial expressions of psychopath Raman, but it is disheartening to see the film with no purpose.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3
...is complex but not enjoyable. It is perhaps the weakest film of the franchise.

Murder 3
The camera placements and tempo may be cool, but the storyline is as incredible as vibgyor-striped zebras.

Shaandaar
The film is largely unreal, exaggerated and a not-so-Shaandaar continuation of Bahl’s work.

Ishkq In Paris
Preity Zinta, high on energy but low on subtlety, could have surely looked for a script that does her (and her loyalists) a shred of justice.

Shivaay
... is so steeped in self importance so awed by its own intended grandeur it seems to forget there is a story to tell.

Daas Dev
Sudhir definitely gives it a contemporary spin off but it is hard to fathom the build up in the narrative unlike the quirk of DEV. D. The pace tries to elevate but falls flat even before the interval and refuses to come back till the end credits.

Nasha
...with a far more sensitive and cliché-free screenplay, this 'Nasha' could have been a superior product.

Katti Batti
...you don’t know its purpose and what’s much worse is that the film tries too hard to convince you that it has one.

Hawaa Hawaai
When the story is predictable, a tight script and screenplay needs to take charge. Sadly, it doesn’t. The film’s undoing is the expectations it rides on. This one fails to be an Amole Gupte film.

Baadshaho
...definitely has an interesting premise, but execution of the plot turns out to be the big hurdle.

Alone
...the film gives a few thrills and chills that a horror film does, with its eerie background score and more often the impression of an ambush lurking in the crannies. There are however slip-ups that defy logic and continuity of script.

Jabariya Jodi
...a predictably clumsy and dispensable 144-minute film that collapses while attempting to figure out what genre to adopt!

Talaash
Do yourself a favour then: see Talaash only if you believe that Aamir Khan can do no wrong. Otherwise you’ll be left with a sinking feeling.

Raees
If you are seeking a plot with enough twists then you will be disappointed. It’s just the run-of-the-mill ‘chor-police’ chase, which you must have seen infinite times in the past.

Bank Chor
is highly average film with a boring comedy and an outdated thriller ...quotient...

Ki & Ka
All of Balki's good work in the first half comes to naught as the film nosedives into hurried happy ending.

Sharafat Gayi Tel Lene
It actually has a strong, interesting plot. But, unfortunately, it places at the centre of its story the two worst possible non-actors.

3 A.M.
...the force injection of commercial factors and resorting to Bollywood’s ideas of horror movies, makes '3AM' another mediocre attempt.

Ab Tak Chhappan 2
There are no songs or unnecessary dialogues to put the brakes on the story, but there are no riveting twists either to make it entertaining from start to finish.

Ishq Forever
Even after mentioning few good things about the film, ‘Ishq Forever’ fails to create an impact and even lacks the emotions one would normally connect with.

PM Narendra Modi
Given how obsessed we are with politics, we deserve better films about the topic. Sadly, Bollywood has never been great with political cinema. And this film doesn't change that notion.

Parmanu
Yes, you can base a film on a true event and then fictionalise parts of it. But it is jarring to see a story that is muddled with way too many obvious tension-building fabrications to suggest that the impossible mission was no mean task.

Saaho
...given the film’s tortuous, tangled plot involving compromised cops, many fake identities, umpteen car chases and dreary duels involving burly goondas of various ethnicities from East Europe and Africa, what stays with you is a sense of exhaustion, like after a long, wasted day.

Chaarfutiya Chhokare
The film has a few nice frames and exactly two interesting moments, but they are spoilt by inept acting and lines that should never have been written.
