Ishqedarriyaan
If there was a little urgency in getting into the heart of the matter, Ishqedarriyaan could have been different. Director V V Sharma goes round and round and thus loses the plot.

A Flying Jatt
...Remo in his free style filmmaking inspired from free style dancing seems to have put together an amalgamation of assorted inspirations that were never assembled into one coherent storyline.

Jai Mummy Di
...remains funny in fits for a while before losing the plot altogether. Not quite the joyride one would recommend for a weekend's mall crawl binge.

Kurbaan
Nothing adds up but for the hyped romance between Saif and Kareena. Both are in terrific form.

Help
With a middling story but just a few scary moments, Help ends up being an ordinary fare.

Mere Dost Picture Abhi Baki Hai
...promised a lot, but has been let down by over-enthusiasm from the director.

Jab Harry Met Sejal
...the touted rom com turns out to be a bore com, romance goes surprisingly 'Phurr' along with director Imtiaz Ali in this flick.

Vikalp
...has some exhilarating moments but they aren't enough to hold the feeble script together.

Daawat-e-Ishq
The intention of director Habib Faisal is noble, but the route he has taken is long and boring.

Satyameva Jayate
...leans and relies very much on mundane Bollywood convention and hopes for an action hero like John Abraham who still needs to land that knockout punch to make the upper cut and do all the rescue.

Double Dhamaal
With a negligible funny quotient and a feeble script, Double Dhamaal ends up being a 'double' disappointment.

John Day
Ahishor Solomon, however, crackles in the first 45 minutes, setting up the plot to a nicety, building scenes and sequences giving one a sense of a slick-thriller. Unfortunately, his characters [and their motives] that follow fail to link convincingly to the preamble, thus making the entire exercise crumble like a pack of cards.

Veerappan
What really gets to you is the background score that goes boom, boom, boom, every time there is an action scene in the jungle, some jungle scenes, or scenes where not much is happening. RGV tries to hit out at you, any which way.

Tubelight
The theology of Tubelight is vast like an ocean but Kabir Khan has so cloyingly handled the Yakeen (faith) factor that it turns boringly 'Yuck'in.

Nanu Ki Jaanu
...supports the cause in its weird mix of ghost comedy meeting a rom com in a quirky supernatural way, fails to follow the traffic (read genre) rules and changes lanes in its overenthusiastically genuine thoughts that are ‘doomed’ by a juvenile execution.

Zokkomon
...isn't super and far from being close to it. It doesn't offer much to appeal the young audience, for whom it's primarily made.

Force 2
Nothing much engulfs, intrigues or sustains your interest in this 'forced' sequel to Force.

Housefull
This is one more of those 'leave your brains behind' flicks. Frankly, if you do try to stop looking for logic, you may have a blast. The gags are situational and hilarious at times. On other occasions, they do draaaaaaag!

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

Sargoshiyan
...began with a whisper but failed terribly to become a voice thanks to the maker's choice to say everything but actually failing in making the audience to hear and/or give an ear to anything.

Lucknow Central
On paper this looks like a thrilling musical but the glaring loopholes and lack of characterization make Lucknow Central an indigestible and unconvincing jail escape adventure.
