Daawat-e-Ishq
This could've been a real seven-course fiesta but the misguided vision and thanda drama reduce this feature film to side dish status.

Akira
...is like any other action movie you’ve seen before, where the hero is framed and has to prove himself right. The difference here is the film’s ability to successfully tell that tale with a girl at its centre.

Heroine
...has an episodic feel to it. The movie is a merger of various personalities, which unfortunately don’t fall on the same page in the end. Making it seem disjointed and amateurish.

Happy Ending
A movie that opts for straight-laced romance over sex-charged comedy. And when you do that, you don’t end on a happy note.

Sarbjit
Some stories deserve to be told with nuance and intimacy. You can't employ movie making formula when you're trying to depict reality and tragedy with authenticity.

Mirza Juuliet
...is the millionth time Hindi films have tried to cash in on the Shakespearean tragedy. Sadly, the charm of the concept hasn’t just worn off, it’s dead.

The Body
What could have been a short film for a digital platform has unnecessarily been stretched as a feature. Weak writing, flawed editing and a disinterested cast doesn't help its prospects...

Fukrey Returns
...is a sequel that wants to be bigger, better and funnier than the original. In all fairness, it does manage to fulfil its ambitions on two accounts. It is bigger, it is funnier but it's certainly not better.

Jack And Dil
The cinematography, editing, even music are strictly average fare. The writing, as said earlier, is in total shambles.

Paathshaala
If this film were Ukey's assignment and the producers were teachers, upon review, they should've remarked in red, 'redo'. At least I would.

Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon
Yes it will make you chuckle more than once, but two hours later you won't remember a single thing.

Genius
...director Anil Sharma has taken too much upon himself. Yes, he has shown us what all his son is capable of doing but neglected to give us a well-rounded film in the process.

Pyaar Ka Punchnama
Pyaar Ka Punchnama's anti-rom-com premise had promise. Had it been crisper and smarter, the film could have made the cut. Sadly, nothing of that sort happens.

Family Of Thakurganj
Some films are plain hard to define and this one is one of them. One fails to understand the motive behind making such a film as this.

Phoonk 2
The movie does have unexpected twists and some very good thrills. But what it also has is tacky sequences of a doll fighting off a fully grown man that leave you laughing. Basically this is good idea gone bad.

Aakrosh
All those boys and girls who have seen Mississippi Burning raise their hands. Because Aakrosh's best scenes are copied from the Gene Hackman, William Dafoe thriller.

Ek Paheli Leela
So should one watch this almost three-hour long non-mystery? Yes, if you are a Sunny Leone fan.

Pari
...asks the big question – are human beings in fact the biggest monsters? I say the biggest horror is a lame script.

Chhodo Kal Ki Baatein
With the unique subject matter at hand and a wonderful team of actors, Pramod Joshi could have done so much more. Alas, all he manages to do is dole out a barely acceptable film.

John Day
...a half-baked effort with sporadic moments of brilliance and leaves you with an aftertaste of what could have been.

Heropanti
The Hindi remake remains faithful to its Telugu original in every frame and perhaps that’s it Achilles’ heel. A deviation in the treatment and narrative would have made it a better film.
