Vicky Donor
...a quality comedy that entertains while punching gentle holes at India's hypocrisy and squeamishness about sex.

Bittoo Boss
...the film is neither a love story, nor a comedy, not as bold as it wants to be and certainly not an incisive view of small town India and its growth pangs.

Housefull 2
Nobody would object to a mindless comedy, if it was done well. But since Housefull was a hit, and audiences have proved to be woefully passive when making their ‘timepass’ choices, Sajid Khan can wilfully pass off this excessive silliness as entertainment.

Agent Vinod
...no wit, no sense of fun, no tongue-in-cheekiness and a pace slower than an old vsnl dial-up connection.

Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya
It's sheer ebullience that saves the film from the formula bog, and the real sparks between the lead pair. It turns out quite enjoyable in the end, even with irritants like a really bad item number!

Ekk Deewana Tha
...already seems like the worst film of the year. An outdated plot, old-style narration and actors so bad, they ought to be arrested for causing trauma.

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu
Can't say EMAET disappoints; in fact it comes up to the generally low expectations of a romcom. It is just meant for keeping your eyes on the screen for the running time, and then leave behind with the empty popcorn tub.

Agneepath
Karan Malhotra's "reimagining" of the old film, is a technically sound, but otherwise uneasy mix between old and new Bollywood.

Chaalis Chauraasi
Hriday Shetty has made a very ordinary caper comedy, and the best thing to be said about it is that it has as many irritants, as it has twists. And the non-linear format lends it some sparks of suspense.

Don 2
From Farhan Akhtar one expects more. And don’t even get started on the awkward plotting and the lapses in logic...nobody watches a thriller with those expectations.

Lanka
...film plods on to a predictable end, while its slow pace forces the audience to keep waiting for something to happen...

Ladies VS Ricky Bahl
...the film just never gets wickedly humorous, or achieves a sense of challenge and risk; neither does it get sympathy for the girls, so the viewer is never absorbed in the story completely.

The Dirty Picture
It may do well commercially, but it will remain a wishy washy and yes, exploitative film, redeemed entirely by Vidya Balan's bravura performance...

Desi Boyz
If Rohit Dhawan who has inherited his father David Dhawan's style and, unfortunately, also his cinematic vacuity wanted to take up a mature subject like this, then why did he have to dumb it down so much?

Rockstar
...a boring, disappointing film, saved only by the rigour Ranbir Kapoor brings on - he is let down by the film's lack of depth, originality and artistic vision.

Ra.One
Not only does it fail to impress beyond the usual low expectation, 'timepass' levels, it was pipped to the post by Endhiran/Robot.

My Friend Pinto
In trying to make Prateik fit that hat Raaghav Dar's My Friend Pinto suffers from a spectacular case of miscasting.

Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge
...a light romcom—the formula is tossed energetically and spiked with wit. The young people it is about will probably relate to it.

Love Breakups Zindagi
...is not bad, in fact, it's okay as a date movie. It will probably last in the mind as long as the popcorn in the stomach.

Force
The ending of the film hints at a sequel...hope they get a better script. And a sense of humour.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster
...not a mindless entertainer, and is quintessentially desi, full of heat, dust and colour.

Jaana Pehchana
...does not work as a standalone film, it's just a piece whimsy, to remind us of what our movies used to be like.

But how long with audiences put up with bad films (like Ready and this one) just because they want to see Salman Khan?

That Girl in Yellow Boots
Though incest, child abuse and other evils do take place in our society, watching a film about it—and one that deals with it so casually-- is not an experience to look out for.
