No One Killed Jessica
In the end, despite its cinematic excellence, the film remains a mixed bag because it shies away from pushing the envelope further.

Guzaarish
...a very handsomely mounted, well acted, but not particularly earth-shattering film, given the enormity of the debate at its core.

I Am
The film has some jagged edges, but Onir is earnest, honest and not afraid to make a statement at a time when films are meant to be just light entertainment.

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!

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan
Why crib, originality is never an issue — MBKD is a frothy entertainer.

Antardwand
I didn't believe the end. But the movie is so involving that I was smiling and crying and laughing and nodding at this tale of kidnapped grooms.

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

Stanley Ka Dabba
...there is admiration for the way the kids communicate their generosity as well as their mischief without irritating filmi precocity. Children will probably relate to the film whole-heartedly.

Mirch
...is worth celebrating because it breaks the accepted conventions of what women can or cannot do.

Chillar Party
The kids vs adults war is fun and the inherent sweetness of the film covers up for the excessive melodrama of the second half.

Kashmakash
It does seem like a typical 'filmi' story replete with impossible coincidences, it is Ghosh's delicate handling that makes the film worth a watch.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
It is enjoyable, funny, great looking and 'clean' as compared to another recent buddy film. The stars all act well-even Katrina Kaif. Add to the mix good music and a couple of graceful dances and the package all bright and shiny tied with a red ribbon. You want more out of movies? Are you nuts?

Pyaar Ka Punchnama
Urban angst and the ever-changing rules of the battle of the sexes could make for a much better film, but seen without any expectations, this one does deliver a few solid punches.

Singham
It's the kind of film that is enjoyable because it is predictable. You know Singham will destroy all evil, justice will be done, and at least for a few hours, all will be well with the world.

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

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

Allah Ke Banday
t is a decent first effort, the performances are efficient, but it's the lack of novelty that lets the film down.

Dhobi Ghat
The mood is overwhelmingly wistful, as if Rao were saying that heartbreak is the only way to go in Mumbai.

Dabangg
Is Dabangg a good film? Not by a long shot. Is it an enjoyable film? Maybe. But there's no arguing with the box-office and a star's fan following.

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.

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.
