India‘s Most Wanted
This 123 minutes of a ‘sleep pill’ in the name of espionage thrill is completely forgettable

Game
Too much emphasis is made on the look and feel of the film, but the plot isn't exciting enough.

Dedh Ishqiya
...is a work of art but with too much of 'attachment'. It does not work when you don't know when to say ''cut''.

Running Shaadi
...could have been a humourous take on the wedding and love scenes in India and the expose of the dangers of social media and pros and cons of marriage portals but it ends up as a waste opportunity.

Pranaam
...never had anything new to offer. At least it could have tried narrating its old tale with new context.

Chitkabrey
Just for the idea, and some well thought-out scenes, it's a thumbs up. Otherwise, it's plain vanilla.

Bobby Jasoos
What works for Bobby Jasoos is the casting, what pulls it down is its writing.

Phillauri
...promised some fun but it sadly ends as a pun on itself in trying to do so many things in one film, a comedy that too supernatural one and an old fashioned romance that forces the friendly spirit to hang out from the screen wondering who is suppose to take charge of the proceedings.

Khajoor Pe Atke
Harsh Chayya may have tried to please all in his first attempt but manages some moments and fine performances, the movie which stars as a quirky, dark comedy ends up as a mishmash of everything and fails to get that emotional connect.

Ramayana
In the endeavor of making a supreme animation film, the story-telling has gone for a toss.

Wajah Tum Ho
... we leave it up to the time (read its target audience) to decide as they are the right 'wajah' for the series that has continued its winning run and travelled so far.

Baadshaho
Lacking in those seeti bajao, paisa vasool moments, the movie is just a parade of buffoonery going nowhere and gasping for help amidst the blast and noise.

The Power
...turns into a tedious, uninspiring mess of an attempt to be the new version of ‘The Godfather’.

Mittal v/s Mittal
In the past, director Karan Razdan has been 'credited' with directing films like Hawas, Girlfriend and Souten. Titillation is a common factor amongst each of these films and the sensibilities/treatment pretty much get carried forward to Mittal V/S Mittal as well.

1920 - Evil Returns
Come on, Vikram, you can do it. I'm not asking for an ENTITY, but Indian cinema has evolved to at least give us a fright somewhere close to it.

Heropanti
It looks good and has a good line-up of character actors. But sadly the script flounders from the beginning.

Ab Tak Chhappan 2
...is an 80s plot with a 90s twist with director Aejaz Gulab trying to give it a current flavor. It doesn't work.

Raabta
In terms of costume design or makeup, guess the most efforts must have gone in Rajkummar Rao's character design, but then was it really so important in the narrative after all?

Hate Story IV
Whatever Hate Story IV is, one thing is for sure, either you love it, or hate it but you cannot ignore it, franchises like Hate Story IV will be popping up till the existence of mankind and provide titillations to its target front benchers and earn money.

Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi
First-time director Bela Sehgal does well with an off-beat script, but casting is a big let down.

Ananth and his co-writer Sanjay Chauhan fail to get the necessities for a proper script for this story...

Department
The camera angles are definitely innovative but instead of being an experimentation towards the narrative, they turn out to be the very narrative that only ends up killing that impact that could have been created.
