Ferrari Ki Sawaari
It's a formula that rarely fails - the sort of feel-good movie that makes for perfect Sunday viewing with the whole family.

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.

Jodi Breakers
A movie can either make sense or money. So some filmmakers strongly suspect. Why did we expect anything better here? We always do.

Ekk Deewana Tha
This oddly picturised, amateurishly edited, mediocre Mani Ratnam stuff probably won’t cut it for anyone.

Agneepath
Would this movie have the same impact on the young as did Anand's incredible Hum (1991) for the generation before? No. Would this Agneepath suffice still? Yes.

Chaalis Chauraasi
A sense of fun is never lost. It’s the actors, no doubt, who make the ridiculous believable. Hence, you truly enjoy this ride for most of the part.

Players
A few players intend to share the loot, given the plan or plot (borrowed from Hollywood) is already in place. That’s the story of this film. It could be the story of its making as well!

Kya Yahi Sach Hai
Assemblage of some of the world’s worst over-actors will worry you, editing’s patchy, sound’s screwed up, art-work's third rate, cinematography’s amateurish. Some of the most crucial scenes are shot before a chroma screen. The research and script are solid still. This is sad.

Picture looks real. Posturing is correct. Accents may be inconsistent, dramebaazi's full-on.

Ladies VS Ricky Bahl
At worst, the film remains then a yawn inducing, half explained romance; at best, it's an effortless watch all the way.

I Am Singh
The film's audience, apparently Americans, as you know, think Osama bin Laden was Sikh. They need serious education. The characters knock some sense into their heads, read out page after page from Wikipedia, in Hindi and English, on philosophy, history, teachings and scriptures of Sikhism.

The Dirty Picture
Silk (or Balan) concludes – There are three things you need for a successful film: entertainment, entertainment, entertainment. Over here, "I am the entertainment." She is absolutely right, beyond first-rate.

Desi Boyz
You figure this formula for the moolah could be a post-2000 film by David Dhawan. It turns out his son's the director. Generations change. So do audiences. Same garbage gets recycled still.

Dam 999
The visuals, hardly scary, or real, appear for a minute or two max. We continue to be treated to some third-rate plot around an unrequited, horoscope unfriendly romance: "River of love flowing into the sea of separation..." Right.

Shakal Pe Mat Ja
I peer at the faces around me at the theatre. Of course, you shouldn't go by their looks. Or reviews for that matter. Watch it yourself. Come on, you can do it.

Rockstar
Director Imitiaz Ali manages to retain a personal, auteur's touch in a genre vastly commercial, mainstream. This is a rare feat.

Miley Naa Miley Hum
“Chirag baba” is the oddly uncomfortable, untrained performer, casually low on body movements, high on screen time; he plays a quiet young heir, given to monosyllables and mono-expressions.

Loot
Clearly, someone's let open a flick that must have been rightly, safely lying in the cans for years.

Damadamm
This film actually has a darn good script, if you could excuse the hero for a bit. Just a bit. But how can you?

Tell Me O Kkhuda
Extreme love for the progeny produces corruption in several societies. It produces some terribly inspired entertainment in India.

Ra.One
A year of relentless hustling, hype and expectations inevitably numb achievements, whatever they are, into the obvious. You wish to figure if this was worth this much fuss. Look at the film. The fuss was necessary!

Beta's also built body. What to do? Papa, I'm told's a Gutkha baron. He gifts him this film.

Don't expect too much from this, and I think you'll do just fine.
