Rock On 2
So there are elements that you will enjoy, but the film is felled by the undercooked writing.

Babumoshai Bandookbaaz
...appears superficial because it fails to explore characters and their idiosyncrasies. It states everything about them in a matter of fact tone which eventually slacken the audience’s connect with them.

Raid
With a tighter editing, slightly less focus on the wannabe love story and a lesser dose of melodrama, Raid could have been a gripping thriller.

Made In China
...is your typical Chinese product – it promises a lot but is low on performance. Watch it for Rajkummar and Boman’s terrific acting.

Hunterrr
...has layers and a depth that those films didn’t even aspire to. But ultimately Harshavardhan, fritters away the opportunity.

Bajirao Mastani
Laden with the burden of self-indulgence and dramatic “dialoguebaazi”, the film drags on at its own sweet and laid-back pace.

Mohenjo Daro
Watch the film if Hrithik’s physique, dancing skills and flexibility are enough to attract you but you can totally avoid it if a grandeur does not make up for the lack of substance, facts and logic.

Khoobsurat
Sadly, Shashanka displays none of the eccentric creativity that we saw in his earlier films, though he does create moments of charm.

Phantom
From jingoistic dialogues to really vague ideas, Phantom has an overdose that mars the experience of an otherwise decent thriller.

Baar Baar Dekho
...is hardly even a bird’s eye view of the new generation’s choices and desires. Its philosophy lacks strength and gloss takes the centre stage right from the beginning.

Hichki
...is a well-intentioned film that will give you ample opportunities to wipe tears, but it doesn’t make a strong comment.

Roar: Tigers Of The Sundarbans
...deserves your attention because it’s a smartly executed film.

Hamari Adhuri Kahani
It’s one of those films which reveals its latent potential and then fails to capitalise on it.

Mirzya
...is visually impressive, but lacks the essence of a heart wrenching love-story.

Game Over
...reaches its triple-header final act swiftly, then devolves into a witless muddle, with filmmakers ramping up sudden thrills but not seeding in the problem-solving elements the film needed.

Vishwaroop II
That indubitably is Kamal directing the film as a director and not filmmaker. We can see the savvy politician Kamal is doing great onscreen. Wisam, unfortunately, is lost in the back ground.

Angrezi Medium
...a potentially good film, falls prey to poor execution and a weak screenplay.

Jannat 2
Logic isn’t a priority here. Deshmukh is creating an old-school Bollywood film with high drama, punchy dialogue, thunderous background music and villains who glare and maim with aplomb.

Daawat-e-Ishq
...is the equivalent of an elaborate meal that begins with a mouth-watering appetiser but slowly loses flavour, aroma and deliciousness, so that by the time you reach dessert, you are exhausted, disappointed and badly in need of fresh air.

Do Lafzon Ki Kahani
For a movie that hinges on a love story, Do Lafzon ki Kahani is weak on the chemistry though.

Batti Gul Meter Chalu
...had a lot of promise, but just like the government it targets, it fails to deliver.

Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania
Watch Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya for wonderful performances, Ashutosh Rana and smart screenplay. But do remember it's one of the dreamy, larger-than-life and low on logic Bollywood movies.

Ki & Ka
...is an important film because it talks about some unconventional and rather tough relationship goals, but it mostly remains a film which is immensely in love with melodrama.

TE3N
These three are among the best actors currently working in Hindi cinema. But despite their presence, TE3N doesn’t soar.

Beyond The Clouds
Despite excellent symbols and good performances in patches, Beyond The Clouds remains something we have seen and had expected. The uniqueness of the film hardly crosses the crowded bylanes. Majid Majidi’s foreign eyes see what all of them see.

Motichoor Chaknachoor
...breaks no moulds – preferring to revel in them instead. And perhaps therein lies its weakness.
