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.

Knock Out
...starts sagging even before the interval, and loses sympathy for the victim rather quickly. None of the performances really stand out...

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...

Luv Ka The End
Chances are girls between the ages of 12 and 18 will love this superficial kind of girl power. Some more will enjoy the 'timepass' idiocy and male-bashing;, and if both kinds are accompanied by their boyfriends, chances are the film will do well.

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

Utt Pataang
Another 'disciple' of Quentin Tarantino jumps out of the hedge, so to say, with a film that runs around in circles, and ends up nowhere.

Jhootha Hi Sahi
...contrived, derivative and very deficient in the joie de vivre that should be the mark of a successful romcom.

Murder 2
The Bhatts may very well have hit on their hands—people still remember Murder—but they have stooped really low this time, and the censors have to do their jobs better if they are to justify their existence.

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

Ragini MMS
...unimaginative and exploitative--- the horror is not scary enough, the sex is not titillating enough.

7 Khoon Maaf
The excessive length, slow pace, and straightforward narrative, makes Saat Khoon Maaf a difficult watch.

Tees Maar Khan
From Farah Khan it is a letdown, mainly because one expected better from her.

For Real
...one of those well-meaning films one can’t dislike, but is unable to like either.

Shahrukh Bola Khoobsurat Hai Tu
Deshpande's narration is meandering and perhaps deliberately random, without any discernible beginning, middle or end-a life-goes-on cycle... just touched by stardust.

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.

Aarakshan
Except for afew well-written 'speeches' the film lacks any real drama or even a stable core that can convey with any degree of conviction what exactly the director wants to say. It fires in all directions like a malfunctioning gun and never hits the target.

Anjaana Anjaani
...no matter how 'original' the film may be, it still has a seen-it-somewhere look and feel-hundreds of Hollywood films and dozens of Karan Johar kind of films. Everything so, so deja vu!

Shabri
...earnest though it may be, is not outstanding enough to work as a standalone film.

Break Ke Baad
Danish Aslam can populate the film with quirky characters, have characters mouth self-help-book profundities, but it just never manages to be funny, and never reaches the level of melancholy it tries to drum up in its two shallow characters.

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.

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.

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.

Daayen Ya Baayen
...you need a realistic, down-to-earth film, but there is always that niggling slip between expectation and delivery.

Golmaal 3
...offers more spot the in-reference fun than real gags, and noise substitutes for acting...

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.

Yamla Pagla Deewana
...a very bad film, with just a few moments of warmth and humour to keep it afloat...

Dum Maaro Dum
...does no justice to Goa, or to its subject that has so much thrill and tragedy built in, that it must have taken real effort not to make a watchable film.

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.
