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.

Lekar Hum Deewana Dil
One dialogue from the film sums it up aptly for us: "yaar ye toh epic fail hogaya!"

Isi Life Mein
'Cool' is an oft abused, dangerous word. 'Wannabe' usually follows it like a shadow. You have to be careful. The makers of this movie evidently aren't.

A Strange Love Story
...this isn't a story about love, much less a story, or a film, at all.

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

Paathshaala
Television can't look beyond a few devises to pass of as entertainment, or sometimes news. I suspect filmmakers can't look beyond the addictive television they watch all day to think up a plot either.

Identity Card
The problem with Identity Card is that it tries to be too ambitious with the canvas it chooses.

Calendar Girls
Every Madhur Bhandarkar film feels the same - it’s the same storyline, the same plot points. The only things that change are the industry and the characters’ names.

Kuch Kuch Locha Hai
This Sunny Leone-starrer has nothing. In fact, it’s nowhere close to being called an entertainer, something the makers repeatedly promised in the promos.

Half a star is all we can afford — may be for Sajid Khan's confidence to call it a film.

Satyameva Jayate
...is near-unwatchable. It is a torturous experience; a deeply irresponsible, phony and tone-deaf waste of time, a shameful low for everyone involved.

Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho
Not a single thing in Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho makes it worth a watch. Skip this and save yourself from this eminently avoidable overdose of misogyny and torture.

Life Is Beautiful
does not have much going for it. Writer-director-producer-actor Manoj fails to develop a strong enough story around the much-used plot.

Love Games
...is a film so awful that within the first 15 minutes, you start to feel embarrassed for the actors on screen.

Action Jackson
The first half of the film is disconnected sequences of action, comedy and romance randomly strung together. And when the plot finally kicks in, it is so fantastically ridiculous that you have to ask — what have we — enthusiastic, loyal, passionate lovers of Hindi cinema — done to deserve this?

Welcome to New York
...looks nothing more than an extended IIFA trailer. It’s not worth wasting your time, money, patience and intelligence on this mind-numbing promotional video.

I am going by 0.5 because it talks about social evils and somebody has tried to make a film.

Ranchi Diaries
With Gangs of Wasseypur, Anurag Kashyap created a genre of dark humour and crime stories set in small towns. Sattwik Mohanty’s Ranchi Diaries is the laziest attempt we have seen in the genre.

Hate Story IV
...is all about actors thinking real loud in their heads and then cat-walking in slow motion towards the camera. And when they’re not doing it, they are either spiking drinks or ogling creepily at women.

Great Grand Masti
...is an effort to degrade us. Wake up because director Indra Kumar is insulting the audience. What he has dished out in the name of a sex-comedy is puerile, utter nonsense and disgusting.

Beiimaan Love
