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.

Mirzya
The film not only tests the patience of the audience but also destroys faith in the director’s creativity.

Gul Makai
...enough to happily fill half an hour of footage on any television channel. In its 129-minute film version, it fails to effectively stretch it out to feature-length, and devolves into over-the-top drama and a suffocating heavy-handedness.

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.

Super Nani
...sitting in the twilight of 2014, the film delivers the farcical ‘pati parmeshwar’ message with such conviction that it makes you doubt the calendar.

Munna Michael
Of course, Tiger steals the show with his dance moves and action sequences, but unfortunately that’s not enough to make him the saving grace of the movie.

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

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.

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.

Welcome to New York
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.

Daawat-e-Ishq
...pulls out all sorts of tricks to distract us from what’s essentially a cureless dud, a no-go, a film which really has a one-to-thousand chance of being remembered for anything except that it got made and got a theatre release. It’s eminently forgettable.

Ranchi Diaries

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.

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

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!

Great Grand Masti
The film is a cocktail of stale double entendres, annoying one-liners and disgusting toilet humour.

Hate Story IV
is one of those films, which leaves you wondering what it was. The film is a stale cocktail of lust, betrayal, revenge and vengeance. Interestingly, no actor seems to be even trying to act. Hate Story IV has a poor plot with a flawed execution.

Ek Haseena Thi Ek Deewana Tha
It’s so formulaic, so fake and relentlessly bland that things don’t even register.
