Crazy Cukkad Family
Ritesh Menon’s direction is confident and his portrayal of characters, engaging.

Commando 2
...despite good action, the film fails, not holding interest, especially in the second half. The pace with which the story moves ahead and the revelation of the mystery fail to leave an impact.

Cocktail
Whatever the flaws and dips in energy-level, Cocktail is a feel-wonderful movie. Shakeit, stir it and get nicely woozy.

Citylights
The film is as breathless as its protagonists, but there is a certain poetry in its treatment that leaves a mark.

Chor Chor Super Chor
...what the film lacks in pace, it more than makes up with its hysterical and quick con tricks and crisp, funny dialogue.

Chittagong
Defying movie bazaar norms, Chittagong co-written and directed by the NASA scientist Bedabrata Pain, is an example of technical style yoked to solid content.

Chhapaak
...may fall short to an incredible experience, but it will certainly leave you agitated, more aware and strangely hopeful. And that's a mission accomplished.

Chef
...has multiple flavours and it comes out as a satisfying dish despite being the male protagonist being a repetitive one, who discovers himself when it's too late like Saif's Love Aaj Kal or Hum Tum.

Chauranga
If you willing to watch this sensible cinematic experience, ‘Chauranga’ is definitely a good pick!

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

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.

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.

Bypass Road
Much as I would like to watch, and recommend, a tightly woven suspense drama replete with surprise that jolts you out of your preconceived findings and verdicts, Bypass Road is definitely not the one...

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.

Buddha In A Traffic Jam
Vivek Agnihotri and Rohit Malhotra’s screenplay is the film’s strength. It pans out in ten chapters, each as taut as the other in this socio-political thriller.

Bombay Velvet
Once you are done being dazzled by the beauty, you go looking for the soul only to encounter too many persistent question marks, which weigh down the second half. And when a story is rooted in well-documented history, one cannot afford to let the ellipses remain.

Bombay Talkies
One is rather good, one is middling, one seems to have missed the point of the concept entirely, and one pays homage to a hero and our cinema in such a backhanded fashion that I wondered why the director bothered.

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

Bollywood Diaries
Director K. D. Satyam surely touches the heart with his realistic portrayal of characters and situations.

Bol Bachchan
Fun? Not exactly. The screenplay of Bol Bachchan directed by Rohit Shetty - another aspirant to the Rs 100 crore-mark at the cash counters - is so weak that it’s a virtual termite-infested plank of teak. There’s just no effort at making cinema here.

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.

Blue Mountains
Despite having a topical storyline, here’s a movie that never even once looks like it hails from a real place.

Bittoo Boss

Bhopal: A Prayer For Rain
...tells the story of the worst of times with some needless “cinematic liberties” that make it a lesser movie, but, perhaps, a more palatable one.
