Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai
...close to being an up-to-the-mark gangster flick, so it certainly commands a watch, for the setting and performances, if nothing else.

Udaan
Simple and touching, that’s Udaan for you. A must-watch for all, whether teenager or a parent.

Tere Bin Laden
We are not looking for logic here. The joie de vivre is all pervading. The running length is also just perfect.

Lamhaa
...does not give you too many reasons to go and watch it. Though it is the kind of film that wants you to sympathise with its characters, the plot leaves you so utterly confused that you just want to forget this blood fest.

I Hate Luv Storys
Inspite of the lack of a credible story and the predictable ending, this film is worth a watch mainly because of the appropriate candy coloured cinematography, reams of sparkling wit, great comedic timing and humorously edged performances provide for some consistent pop-corn styled entertainment!

Love Sex Aur Dhokha
...is the ‘cool’ film youngsters would enjoy, and its realness will strike a chord with a few. The more discerning audience may be left disappointed. But it is film you can’t ignore.

Toh Baat Pakki
...is not as invigorating as one expects it to be. The film has some wonderful moments, some old-world charm, but the humour, at several points, falls flat.

...remains watchable for two reasons: the storyline is interesting and the horror quotient is better than most horror films made in Bollywood.

My Name is Khan
C’mon KJo, let’s have a sappy romantic comedy – melodrama, music, family values et al – next. Others can worry about social issues.

Ishqiya
...director Abhishek Chaubey combines elements of his guru Vishal Bharadwaj (the rawness of the script) with that of Quentin Tarantino (the background score and wild characters), which results in an edgy, stylised comic thriller.

Rann
The problem with Rann is that it doesn't strike a balance between what it shows - the ugly side of the news media - and some of the advantages of having a free press in a democracy.

Chance Pe Dance
Watch it only if you’re a die-hard Shahid fan and if three good songs and four good scenes satisfy you as an audience.

Dulha Mil Gaya
The film has a predictable, even clichéd, storyline but writer-director Mudassar Aziz makes a half-decent watch out of it.

3 Idiots
...has one of the most relevant issues of Indian society at its core, a heartwarming story woven around it and a narrative that takes you through the film effortlessly, leaving you happy, moved, and thoughtful in the end.

Paa
Watch Paa for Balki's fresh treatment and storytelling skills and to see the senior Bachchan in a new light.

Kurbaan
A tighter script and edit, less dubious politics and stronger characters could have made this a great thriller.

Tum Mile
...might have worked if it had stuck to the love story - about a mature relationship that sours when control and ego, dreams and ambition clash. A 26 July film it is not. If only it had not pretended to be.

London Dreams
London Dreams is given a leg-up by a strong story let down in execution and technique.

Aladin
Sujoy Ghosh may have had an ambitious plot - a SFX-laden fantasy like this needs a big scale, which it has - but his treatment bores you to death.

Aladin
Director Ghosh's most ambitious venture till date is derailed by a tedious plot and dialogues. The mystery, fantasy world is overrun by a juvenile love story.
