Rajdhani Express
...emerges as a highly confused venture and doesn't succeed in establishing a connect with the audience at any point.

Table No. 21
...while director Aditya Datt and his writers may have cracked a sure-shot climax, they invest very little in the rest of this sloppy thriller.

Dabangg 2
What this film needed was personality and character; what it's left with is sameness. But that's probably enough for Salman Khan fans.

The Last Act
Anurag Kashyap deserves a thumbs-up for his unique concept and the twist towards the end of the story.

Khiladi 786
...with its pedestrian humour, inane plot, and hammy performances, begs the question: haven't we had enough? How many more times will charismatic actors help stupid films get made?

Talaash
Its shortcomings notwithstanding, it's a good example of an entertaining commercial film that didn't need to be lazy or senseless.

Son Of Sardaar
Even if you're a fan of those loud 80s-style entertainers, this one demands a lot out of you.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan
Despite its many script problems, it's a consistently watchable film that oozes with feeling and real emotion. A fitting swan song.

1920 - Evil Returns
...showcases some good ‘horror’ moments in the second half, provided you sustain the tyranny of the first half.

Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana
...a warm and fuzzy comedy that benefits from the insider's eye that the director casts on this garrulous community, and their love of food and family. At 2 hours and 15 minutes, the film feels bloated and over-long, but stay with it and you won't regret it.

Student Of The Year
The characters of 'Student of The Year' lack the emotional depth that made you fanatically root for KKHH's Anjali. But traces of that magic remain in the Hogwarts of Johar's imagination.

English Vinglish
Making an assured debut with a light, frothy film that still has something important to say, Gauri Shinde delivers one the year's most pleasing films, and Amit Trivedi lends some of his best compositions to the soundtrack.

OMG Oh My God!
...in a sea of dumb Bollywood comedies (many starring Akshay Kumar himself), this one at least starts off a debate. For that alone, it’s not entirely a write-off.

Bhandarkar loses his grip on the script, and it’s evident that his storytelling now desperately needs reinventing.
