Koyelaanchal
...90s kind of cinema, some of which were mindless amalgamation of scenes.

Purani Jeans
With intensity in the performances from the rest of the cast, Purani Jeans Could have been a different story.

Kya Dilli Kya Lahore
Even if it had to be a story about the partition and its aftermath, things could have been spiced up with more characters, instead of seeing just four performers in all for the duration of over 90 minutes.

Samrat & Co.
The suspense is childish and the scenes leading closer to the mystery are a mystery in itself.

Dekh Tamasha Dekh
...a well-nuanced film which is frighteningly disturbing and intelligently engaging at all levels; be it at the stark portrayal of political situations, comedy or tragic relationships.

O Teri
These types of movies are made 'for the heck of it'. There is no thought given to any detailing on film-making.

Ankhon Dekhi
Full marks to Rajat for attempting to be different, not bothering about the 'commercial returns'.

Gulaab Gang
Two big names with proven credentials in Hindi Cinema; a subject on women power. A win-win combination for any director. It's not possible to go downhill from here. But that is precisely where director Soumik Sen goes from here. He is in a tearing hurry to make a hash of things.

Babloo Happy Hai
If you rummage through the creative mess, you will find a gem or two. But for that, you really have to sit through Babloo Happy Hai which is part juvenile, part intense.

Hasee Toh Phasee
Although the film grows on you towards the end, the love angle does defy logic.

Ya Rab
The entire screenplay defies logic. I can understand if this has happened in a blockbuster film with the big stars where they expect you to keep your brains behind. But not in Ya Rab where the intention is to educate with a calming message rather than entertain.

Jai Ho
Sohail Khan has got the message right as well as the reigning Bollywood Star to essay this 'do good' message. But where he lacks is in the presentation, which at times oscillates from average to poor. But thanks to the aura of Salman, he pulls off the story just by his fiery fists.

Paranthe Wali Gali
Theatre is a creative medium and converting thoughts meant for a play into a 'moving picture' require skills of another sort. The intention was to make a good film, but this never got translated into one.
