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.

Double Dhamaal
Indra Kumar and his team of actors try really hard to get the comic juices flowing, but so many poor gags can't make a comedy.

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.

Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji
...you go to the cinema expecting laughs and get a poor man’s version of Dil Chahta Hai, without the wit.

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

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Bbuddah...Hoga Terra Baap
...the film works only because he is able to bring his special magic to it.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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

Nagesh Kukunoor who gave us Teen Deewarein, Dor, and Hyderabad Blues is dead.

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.
