Shikara
Though a mass exodus is shown, the hurdles this huge group of people must have faced are all but glanced over. It’s as if the director doesn’t want to go there. This reluctance steals the film of some of its gravitas.

Main Tera Hero
...a textbook David Dhawan movie. This is the kind of low-brow humour you enjoy without pretensions. It’s not great cinema but it is a paisa vasool comedy.

Dil Dhadakne Do
They’re in good looking locations with fancy clothes and luxurious ambiance. It’s an exclusive peek into the lifestyle of the rich and famous. There’s a decent well-rounded story as well. It’s the perfect exotic weekend getaway.

Not A Love Story
RGV shows us that we don't need big actors, lavish sets or mammoth budgets to make credible cinema. A good film just needs a filmmaker getting the most out of his skill, tact and resources.
