Dhoom 3
is like a firmament lit up with those old, yellow, 120-watt bulbs, and Aamir Khan a 14 watt CFL bulb. Weak and struggling, he sticks out.

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.

Kaagaz Ke Fools
After 190 minutes of excruciating film viewing, we learnt that the “fools” in the title of the film was probably suggestive of the people watching it.

Kaagaz Ke Fools
The only question popping up in your mind is, 'What is it?' Is it a film or a fancy documentary on IIFA Awards in New York. Enter the theatre at your own risk or at least carry a punching bag along with you if you are unfortunate to see it.

Student Of The Year 2
...is just a silly, formulaic film with stock characters who are just pretty to ogle. It's a bit crude, a lot illogical and you might have to be in a certain state of mind to enjoy a film this silly.

Ranchi Diaries
...is a supreme case of nervous breakdown or maybe psychological disorder. Enter the theatres at your own risk...

Fanney Khan
Right from the word go, for all the lunacy that seems to be going on in this unexciting storyline, it never seems terribly frantic, nor engaging, leave alone entertaining!

Zila Ghaziabad
A brutish, senseless and utterly-contemptuous-of-the-audience brain-battering ram is here.

Love Aaj Kal
...has an annoying, irritating, glacial pace, and at some point after interval, I tried to fix my glare at the head of the man sitting in front, to check the speed at which hair grows.

OMG Oh My God!
...it is much too self-consciously clever. Worse, it is so raucously narrated that you wish you had vegetated instead on your couch.

Hum Hai Raahi CAR Ke
There is no reason for 'Hum Hai Raahi Car Ke' to exist except that producer-director Jyotin Goel’s son, Dev Goel, is now of kissable age and has acquired muscles - feats that daddy dear thinks deserve a public audience.

Total Dhamaal
The outcome is a series of annoying escapades by the stars all of whom seem completely ill-at-ease mouthing inane stuff or masquerading as serious actors perfecting their act of buffoonery.

Mr Joe B. Carvalho
...isn’t likely to catch any sane viewer’s fancy. It’s best deleted as two hours misspent.

Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum
It’s one of those, guaranteed to cast a spell of woes over those who are still optimistic about expecting a shred of sense, sensibility and taste in popular entertainment.

Bangistan
In T.S. Eliot's famous words, the film begins and ends 'not with a bang, but with a whimper'.

Housefull 3
...bawdy jokes, unfunny gags, dull, humourless one-liners — all getting passed off for comedy, that too as they struggle to include jokes on racism and the differently-abled.

Dil Juunglee
The first thing that came to my mind after watching Aleya Sen Sharma’s Dil Juunglee was to question the source of funding for a film that clearly had no clue which way to head, because there’s nothing worse than spending an early morning with a heartbreakingly bad movie.

Dishkiyaoon
Bollywood has two types of films: the intelligent ones and those clichéd “leave-brains-at-home” ones. Dishkiyaaon is a pathbreaker. For we life-loving people, it’s the “bring a noose to the theatre” variety.

Wajah Tum Ho
The plot of Wajah Tum Ho is complex but the way it is executed is laughable. Once the film is on the verge of unfolding the truth, you are bound to feel that the film is a C-grade version of Hate Story franchise.

MSG
Not necessarily in a good way, but the film offers lots of chuckles and a healthy dose of laughter if you endorse the view that too much tragedy is comedy.
