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

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.

Isi Life Mein
The kind of quasi progressiveness the film puts forward, has now been appropriated by television, so the film is like watching a TV serial on big screen.

Toonpur Ka Superrhero
The kiddie audience the film is aimed at, has seen so much better on TV and big screen, that Toonpur is bound to evoke yawns. It is so lacking in pace and humour that the really little ones might just doze off.

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

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

Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey
...one expected a sense of excitement, if not immediacy, when watching this saga unfold. Unfortunately, the film is only slightly better than a droning, boring old-style Films Division documentary.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Action Replayy
The film is scripted and directed with such a contempt for detail, flat humour, much noise and not one glorious hear-soaring moment

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

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

Rakht Charitra – I
A director with the cinematic skills of Ram Gopal Varma ought to be able to reinvent himself, but all he does is reinvent the wheel.

Aakrosh
Priyadarshan really needs to give himself and his audiences a break from his plagiarized offerings.

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

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!

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

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.

We Are Family
It's as if Siddharth Malhotra and his producer are stuck somewhere in the fifties or in regressive Balaji TV limbo...

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.
