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.

Bangistan
Buried somewhere deep in the 135 minutes of Bangistan is a smart satire on religion.

Sarbjit
...Oomung fails to deliver a moving, poignant film and instead leaves us with a load of melodrama.

Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?
If the belaboured and sporadic humour thereafter isn’t dull enough, they stuff in so many third-rate songs, you feel a bit of a troubled host yourself.

Katti Batti
...fares badly in almost every department and the writing is the worst hit.

Coffee With D
A caricatured D and his antics, coupled with bad sound designing, make Coffee With D end nowhere close to a fun film it could have been.

De Dana Dan
Little will make sense, or is meant to. There is simply no recess from this excess.

Utt Pataang
You’d imagine someone read this script and thought the supposed page-turner would make for another low-budget comic hit. They didn’t bother to apply any cinema at all.

Fireflies
It's biggest flaw: The film suffers from forced stereotypes. Most of the sequences are predictable, and it's not your mistake if you confuse it for a full-fledged commercial film, only made with very low budget.

Love Games
Vikram Bhatt is just juggling with the idea of cheap thrills without actually putting anything substantial on offer.

Golmaal 3
Golmaal 2 (second-rate stuff) apparently raked in big bucks. Such success can boost anyone's over-confidence. Which explains this turd part.

Bodyguard
Here's what this film's super-star should do next. Pick up, remake every regional blockbuster of Rajnikanth's from the recent past. That's what super-hero, cartoon character Salman is to the Hindi audiences by now: Rajnikanth for the excitable North.

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!

Action Jackson
...watch Action Jackson if you are a Prabhudheva or Ajay Devgn fan, because otherwise there isn't a single dialogue you haven't heard and this is one of the films where they say 'Do not take your brains to the theatres'.

The Power
...with its creative bankruptcy, brings nothing new to already done-to-death iterations of The Godfather.

Aisha
The atmospherics is complete. The intentions aren’t off the mark. You may like to voyeuristically share a rich experience (with the film’s cast, or crew, in this case). You only wish this sense of outdoor adventure could conceal the blandness of the drama within.

Kucch Luv Jaisaa
The relationship between the housewife and the wanted hoodlum offers neither dread nor drama. It remains flat throughout.

Blank
...this could have been pulpy fun and there is some promise. The hand-to-hand combat sequences are shot grungily, with extreme close-ups, but while Blank wants to be a heavy metal movie, it is basically a kid with a noisy amp.

Dirty Politics
A very poorly executed film which makes you feel sorry for the body-politic of the nation.

Raavan
This is that severely unexpected self-indulgence in a career of close to three decades, which digs out nothing but his own cinematic cliches.

Hide & Seek
You couldn’t care less for these characters to bother with their bumbling back-story; never mind that the nuggets in the film itself don’t eventually add up.

Bang Bang!
There can be only two thought processes as far as the director Siddharth Anand is concerned. Either he believes that huge promotional drive will sell his half-baked product or the audience is actually full of people who believe Knight And Day is a good film.

Chef
...offers moments of brilliance which, if weaved in a more organised manner, may have given us a light, affable film. But a lazy and rather uninterested narrative takes away the pleasure.

Student Of The Year 2
The film lacks drama, conflict and narrative tension, with dialogues written for mannequins.

Prince
Quite obviously, moneybag-bizman Mr Taurani knows something about his audiences that we don’t!

Singham
Devgn walks to beats similar to Salman's Dabanng. He beats the crap out of ruffians outside a village theatre. He restores his woman's honour. Besotted, she chases him. Audiences think even more highly of the hero. He beats the crap some more.

The Shaukeens
Watch it only if you are an Akshay fan. He's does not have a screen space of more 20 minutes in this 124-minute-long movie but when he is there, he makes his presence felt.
