Toilet
It’s clear the film has its heart in the right place but the blatant pandering gets tiresome.

Pataakha
...feels inconsistent and never fully satisfying. It’s a lightweight offering that’s got its sparks, but doesn’t quite live up to its firecracker name.

Amit Sahni Ki List
Go in with modest expectations and perhaps you won't be disappointed.

ABCD - Any Body Can Dance - 2
Sure anybody can dance, but it takes more work to keep an audience consistently engaged.

Tere Bin Laden
...a low-IQ comedy that succeeds in making you laugh occasionally, despite its highly improbable premise.

Break Ke Baad
Tune in, tune out. Admire the good looking, well matched couple. Drift along. For a bit.

Bittoo Boss
The film tosses around some interesting ideas, but can't seem to make them work as a perfect whole.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
The film itself is well intentioned and shines a light on an important figure. But it's too long and too unfocused to leave a lasting impression.

Welcome Back
...is overlong, over-plotted, and unmistakably silly. But it's also incredibly funny in portions.

Tere Bin Laden Dead Or Alive
The performances of actors and extras stand out but not the puns and humour.

Citylights
...isn't a bad film by any measure, but it does feel repetitive and long, even at a running time of less than two hours.

Sahi Dhandhe Galat Bande
Parvin Dabas' directorial debut tells a powerful story, which is both relevant to recent times and is light at heart too.

Ra.One
What's missing from 'Ra.One' is a sure-footed director's touch. Anubhav Sinha fails to bring all the elements together, and while this superhero film has plenty sound and fury, it's sorely lacking slickness.

Aurangzeb
...a fun thriller with a racy first half and a dragged climax. It's not devoid of any essential ingredient of a 'masala' film and you can watch it for depicting the dark underbelly of the illegal land deals.

Aksar 2
...with a different female lead and without the disconcerting songs, this would have been a pretty decent film.

Break Ke Baad
Director Danish Aslam makes a respectable debut with a reasonably engaging film that is watchable largely for the performance of its leading lady.

Ragini MMS
It's nothing you haven't seen before, but it keeps you engaged for most of its 100-minute running time.

Lanka
Manoj Bajpayee's first-rate acting is reason enough to watch 'Lanka' but you can also watch it for the fondness of actual locations and small town stories.

Jai Gangaajal
Priyanka Chopra and Prakash Jha’s performances keep you engaged and invested despite the familiar narrative, but by the end you’re overcome by the unmistakable feeling of exhaustion.

Babumoshai Bandookbaaz
It’s a guilty pleasure at best, provocative and titillating. But it’s also overlong and derivative, and gives one of our finest actors little room to do much more than repeat himself.

Photograph
The writing doesn’t pack the emotional urgency of The Lunchbox, and the characters aren’t as compelling. There is a delicate quality to the central relationship but it never takes flight. Batra keeps the story on slow-burn; how you wish he’d stirred things up from time to time.

Dabangg
An ordinary, at best average film, Dabangg can barely contain the presence of its larger-than-life star.

Chillar Party
It isn't half bad, but the party pooper here is a script that has no direction home.

Chhota Bheem And The Curse Of Damyaan

Aiyyaa
...is at best an original and promising experiment let down by its many indulgences.

Kill Dil
There's not a lot of praise one can heap on 'Kill Dil' except to say that it's not an unwatchable film.

Main Aur Charles
Director Prawaal Raman has very cleverly delivered the incidents in chunks because we already know a lot about the criminal and therefore the documentary had to be in the specific manner.
