Housefull 4
...watch the film if you like watching leave-your-brains-behind kind of comedy.

...an honest look at everything that is wrong within the sociopolitical framework of media and power. But where this portrayal could have been intelligent, it simply manages to be trite.

Rang Rasiya
It’s got the right hues and shades. It’s got the impeccable references. But even so, it needed that little bit of panache, which Ketan Mehta misses out on.

Poster Boys
It’s not the freshest of films. It’s a comedy that serves up more of the same. While that’s not necessarily a bad thing, it’s also not the most exciting prospect.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
Picture this, Katrina tells Hrithik, "Hume dabbe mein sirf tab hona chahiye, jab hum mar jayein". (We should be in a box only when we're dead). That metaphor doesn't quite apply to Indian sensibilities and that's the case with most of ZNMD. You might just feel a strong disconnect.

The big bugbear for the film remains its run time of 3 hours and ten minutes. Hopefully, the technical wizardry will be enough to make the audience forgive this lapse …

Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana
...talks about the dowry system, the inequality towards women in civil services and general working opportunities etc, it really feels like a mature and relevant story. But the treatment is so lackluster that it relegates the movie to Indian soap opera status. It’s a definite letdown.

Welcome to New York
...is more a series of comedy skits stuck loosely together than an actual film with a coherent plot and screenplay. It's a fresh idea alright and better execution would have turned it into an eminently enjoyable film.

Satyameva Jayate
The film’s title made it sound patriotic but the patriotism gets overshadowed by high melodrama and mindless action...

Setters
The writing goes from being focussed to being all over the place. In effect, the balance of the film isn’t right. It’s too intense in some areas and playful in others.

...while the film does raise some important issues, it suffers from faulty execution. It comes across as a missed opportunity at best...

Ishqiya
Ishqiya’s Achilles heel is akin to that of its lead characters. It succumbs to the greed of wanting too much but has only a vague notion as to how to get it. Keeping it simple may have helped.

if you had liked Rowdy Rathore and Khiladi 786 and other Akshay Kumar random action comedies then you’ll certainly like this.

Titli
If you seek entertainment and/or stories with redemption look elsewhere. But if cynicism and hopelessness excite you, this is the movie for you.

Mirzya
You need to deal with its overtly artistic nature with a pinch of salt. But if you have the appetite for a tragic and epic love saga, the luscious visual imagery of Mirzya will give you plenty of food for thought.

Gunday
Six packs, bulging muscles, seductive dances – all the cinematic material required to make an audience friendly hit. What’s missing is a key eye for detail, a process of refinement, which they say turns coal into diamond.

Sharafat Gayi Tel Lene
...despite so many middling characteristics the film retains a certain element of novelty. Its the equivalent of an uncut and unpolished diamond.

Race 3
...the film has something for everyone. An action film combined with family drama is the perfect Eid gift from Bhai to his fans worldwide. At close to 3 hours it does drag in places and tauter editing would really have added to the film.

Running Shaadi
...could’ve really been a different comedy. It had the raw potential of a unique and innovative film. But the lack of focussed direction leaves it high and dry.

Chhota Bheem: Kung Fu Dhamaka
One must say that the film is mounted better than the earlier full-length affairs. The artwork is bright and colourful and the 3D effects are nice as well.

...might have worked better had it simply been subtitled and not dubbed. And even though it is a little long and laboured there are flashes of poignancy that may just stay with you long after the last reels have rolled.

Lucknow Central
We know cause based films are the norm right now and maybe the idea behind the film was prison reform. It’s heart was in the right place but everything else wasn’t...

Watching the film is like reading a newspaper report on the terrorist. It gives you a huge lot of facts but doesn't provide you with the complete picture.

After a spate of bad horror movies of late this one is a welcome change. Now it’s not stand up and clap cinema but it atleast keeps you on the edge of your sit and makes you think.

It's baffling how a film can manage to give you a cerebrally painful first half and then dish out a totally slapstick, but really funny second half.
