Road, Movie
Yes, we all like a movie to stimulate our grey cells, but to serve up a perplexing narrative is just not done.

Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?
Predictable and clichéd, Atithi… makes you laugh a few times and a twist ending is definitely a pleasant surprise.

Karthik Calling Karthik
KCK would've been a classic had Vijay Lalwani, the director and writer, spent a little more time, developing an ending that equaled the brilliance exhibited in the preceding length of the film.

...the actors’ resilience and talent manages to make this mediocre feature watchable.

My Name is Khan
To say MNIK is a warm-the-cockles film about a man with Aspergers syndrome who overcomes all odds and triumphs would be to pigeonhole it. The movie has a larger picture-one of humanity, tolerance,redemption and above all love.

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.

Rann
...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.

Veer
One expects to see lavish war scenes with a scintillating fight to the finish. The screenplay builds up to it but fails to deliver the coup de grace.

Chance Pe Dance
...operates on the premise that stories about strugglers who slum it in Mumbai are interesting and identifiable. Unfortunately that isn’t to be.

Pyaar Impossible
There are logical loopholes and given that the story centres around a geek, the audience's intelligence is somewhat undermined.

Dulha Mil Gaya
...story makes little sense and it is dismal enough to even deny the charisma of great stars.

Bolo Raam
While the basic premise itself may be engaging the film fails to hold the audience.

3 Idiots
The genius of 3 Idiots ultimately lies in its total lack of emotional manipulation in order to engage the audience.

It's such a waste to see someone who has a unique sound fall prey to ambition and join the wannabe actor brigade.

De Dana Dan
Somewhere in the middle of the mindless antics of this loud and slap-happy ensemble cast, Priyadarshan hammers the final nail in the coffin of all stories that could be called comedy.

Aladin
The special effects are good but you’ve seen better. If anything, Aladin makes a case for better scripts in our movies.
