Buddha In A Traffic Jam
Nothing, though can redeem the film from its sheer lack of heft.

...is at best a tacky advertisement for the EDM festival.

Phamous
Given the absence of technical finesse and the disorderly script, it’s a wonder that actors of the caliber of Menon, Tripathi and Sheirgill opted to participate in this shoddy film.

Hamari Adhuri Kahani
This is a journey of pain: the pain of watching the talented Balan struggling to justify a badly-written role; the pain of seeing the director of Arth stuck in a time warp and refusing to grow out of a poor-me syndrome; the pain of watching Bhatt kill the memorable Kahaani girl of Ooh La La land with the that mighty Indian weapon: the mangalsutra.

Brothers
There's so much going wrong in Brothers, it's difficult to pinpoint the worst aspect of the film.

Ujda Chaman
The director amps up the background music and sound effects in an attempt to underline the lame attempts at humour and also forgoes finesse and subtlety in storytelling.

De De Pyaar De
...has been marketed as an older-man-younger-woman romance, but make no mistake about this: what it truly is is a vehicle for claims of universal male victimhood, better disguised than its co-producer and co-writer Luv Ranjan's three directorial ventures

Mr. X
If there was any doubt about Vikram Bhatt being the single most uninspiring filmmaker in the Hindi film industry, a single viewing of Mr X is enough to convince anyone to carve this sentiment in stone.

Do Lafzon Ki Kahani
The story is full of holes and the narrative leans too often on ballads and ‘sad songs’ to establish mood. While not short on words or emotional manipulation, this film is short on allure and artfulness.

Manjhi
...Mehta appears to have decided that he's going to make films that ignore subtlety, dismiss nuance and are all about broad strokes. Net result: a film that is so comprehensively artificial that you'll forget Dashrath Manjhi was a real man and that his is a true story.

Aagaya Hero
The dancing hero still has the energy and eagerness, but ‘Aa Gaya Hero’ just makes you wonder kahan gaya hero?

If you're going to watch Banjo, make sure that you do not buy a recliner seat, because you'll be signing up for a sleeping fest.

Tutak Tutak Tutiya
Touted as a ‘horror-comedy’ writer-director Vijay’s Tutak Tutak Tutiya will remind you of Priyadarshan’s Bhool Bhulaiya and while there’s plenty of lowbrow humour in the film there’s barely any horror.

All is Well's biggest weakness is what ails most of Bollywood - its plot. It's lazy.

Will you laugh while watching Great Grand Masti? Certainly, though it may be more out of pity than humour.

Guest Iin London
The film was meant to be a light-hearted comedy, and not only does it not fit the bill, Guest Iin London may not be suitable for any category, comedy or otherwise.

As for the significance of the title, spirits get stronger during an eclipse, we are told. Watch this total eclipse of the art at your own peril.

Genius
It does not take a genius to figure out that the smart play for Utkarsh might have been to debut in a role better suited to his personality and appeal, over an old-fashioned showcase mounted by a zealous father designed to deliver his son as a lover-boy and action hero.

Total Dhamaal
...director Indra Kumar’s adventure comedy (a very, very loose definition) is all about the journey, which is troublesome, even frightening, and all together tedious. So much so that by the time a motley crew of opportunists find their way to a buried treasure, the adventure comedy has begun to feel like a disaster film.
