Raees
Shah Rukh Khan is at the top of his game and he is seen trying very hard. His entry and scenes with Nawaj are stand out. But all his efforts turn waste because his character Raees fails to get the sympathy of the audience especially during the final reels.

If you are not looking for any logic in plot or genius in dialogues, Khiladi 786 is just for you.

Bombay Talkies
For one, these are four stories told by directors whose narrative styles are poles apart. Secondly, as soon as one story is over, you are in the process of absorbing another, without getting time to savor the one just over.

Ittefaq
...could have marked the entry of Abhay Chopra as a graceful, mysterious, demanding story teller that leaves a baffling effect on the audience, the helmer shows traces of his potential by creating and sustaining the mood of the genre but his calibre as a story teller is defeated by the plot.

Tum Bin 2
The director's desperate attempt to make us cry spoils the show plus the music of the sequel fails to reach the standards set by the original 15 years ago.

Kalank
...has everything – beauty, heart and a stellar cast but lacks the emotional heartbeat and is found searching for a soul. A beautifully stunning world, a lavish theatre created by sitting comfortably on an armchair that goes everywhere and reaches nowhere.

ABCD - Any Body Can Dance - 2
Here we have a lame story which hobbles to steady itself in the first 30 minutes. When it does, it hobbles again before you are almost willing the film to come to an end.

Alif
While the director Zaigham in spite of his pious effort and meaningful message fails to uplift the film into a significant chapter that invites debate and have its cinematic stay due to its laziness in nuances and novelty in presentation...

Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar
The problem is by the time the finale arrives you might just about lose interest, given the overall sluggish pace. For an effort that was pitched as an edge-of-the-seat entertainer, that’s an irony for sure – not in the least the sort you expect from a Dibakar Banerjee film.

Roar: Tigers Of The Sundarbans
Even for the weak plot, I would recommend watching this movie if you like that adrenalin rush.

Striker
If only for its off-beat treatment and detailing, of childhood buddies and dreams, and subtle romance, this movie is worth a watch. There's no gloss, but lots of substance.

Kucch Luv Jaisaa
With an interesting premise, Kucch Luv Jaisaa had the potential to be a great film. Nevertheless, it's a decent watch, 'kucch' hadd tak.

...you have a ready plot, you know what each actor's role ought to be and the screenplay is well laid out. All they have to do is adapt it to the Indian audience which, frankly speaking requires a little imagination.

Dhoom 3
...is all about Aamir Khan the method actor and a little more about Bollywood's penchant for spoiling a good thing by throwing in some foolhardiness, bending to please people in power and pushing in more songs than necessary. In fact, Dhoom 3 is all about how to begin a movie with a bang, and then ruin it.

Madholal - Keep Walking
It's an earnest attempt for sure, but is made from a script that is very loose.

Mirch
Some neat writing and fine execution makes Mirch just about palatable. But it falls short of a satiating experience.

Dam 999
This is where Sohan goes wrong; he is trying too many things in one go. Astrology, Ayurveda, politics, dam issues and a complicated love story.

Phata Poster Nikhla Hero
...is not one of Rajkumar Santoshi's best works yet, but considering the genre, the director has stuck to the premise of packing in all the ingredients that makes it a masala film, without trying to go over-the-top.
