Monica
You can tell, this is a B movie that was suddenly allowed better budgets later in its making.

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.

Hate Story 2
You can watch the film only if you are a die-hard fan of Sushant or Surveen, because nothing else is really worth the time and money.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3
The complexity of the relationship between Jimmy and Mahie is not a point of concern for the writers. They have assumed that the audience already knows it after the past films. That leaves the two actors grasping for straws. Actually, whatever worked in the previous films is absent here and add-ons are totally out of sync.

Thackeray
This is either an oblivious or blatantly self-aware film, a work not of propaganda as much as it is a work of pride, celebrating a legacy of violence.

Teen Patti
...there is no math in the pedestrian ‘teen patti’ either. They’re merely Diwali card-games played on Dutch bravado and pointed bluff.

PM Narendra Modi
This is a monumental ode to hubris. The film, PM Narendra Modi, is an embarrassment, and even if every scene were true, the smugness is cringeworthy.

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

Double Dhamaal
...these gents -- Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh, Javed Jaffery (and Ashish. Of course) -- have had to do the kind of things for a living, endure a sort of public embarrassment for entertainment’s sake, they should be entitled to a gallantry award. No less. So should their audience.

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

The jokes are purposefully mindless, but they come at you at such a furious pace that you are lulled into an exhausted laughter.

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.

Alone
Watch the movie, for it is rare to sit through a supernatural thriller laughing all the way!

Radhe
It takes some doing to make a film, that leaves one wondering, if it would really have been that bad if the pandemic took you out last week.

Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani
Saawariya for a debut was a poor practical joke on young Kapoor. This humourlessness, if at all, is infinitely sappier.

Mittal v/s Mittal
I know the makers of this film. I know legalising genuine pornography in this country will find them a more legit job in the business. About time we did.

Buddha In A Traffic Jam
Good cinema must be convincing. Good propaganda even more so. Buddha… doesn't manage to be either.

Total Dhamaal
The script is unforgivably lazy. There are setups galore — a car has a bonnet both at the front and at the back — but there are no payoffs. Instead, Kumar and his actors move from setup to setup, hoping we have indeed left our brains at home.

Hello Zindagi
But the picture’s perspective is truly a pedestrian outsider’s. It offers no insight into what kids are really up to.

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

The producers could’ve saved themselves all the effort and expenses, and just dubbed Children Of Heaven in Hindi instead.

Khatta Meetha
The jokes, you can tell, have pretty much dried up. No amount of slapstick will wet this pool.
