Indu Sarkar
...is at best an average movie. It's the cinematic equivalent to one of those training manuals…think The Emergency for Dummies.

Fatso
...never exploits its full potential, and opts for a far-too-convenient resolution.

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.

ABCD - Any Body Can Dance
Like the "Step Up" movies from which it's evidently inspired, "ABCD" has a threadbare, predictable plot, and a cast of professional dancers who can break into gravity-defying moves but can't deliver a line of dialogue convincingly.

Dharam Sankat Mein
It isn't clever neither is it hilariously entertaining- it is just about an average film with certain light moments.

Frankly it delivers more than its awful trailer promised. But good luck protecting your eyes and ears from this sensory overload.

Akira
...built on a weak script that's sorely lacking in subtlety and nuance, the film is ultimately a bore.

Na Ghar Ke Na Ghaat Ke
...the film doesn't impress you much but its genuine effort cannot be overruled.

Apartment
Had the film explored a little more in terms of research work rather than skimming it from the top, it would have been more effective and made an interesting watch.

Ekk Deewana Tha
...a disappointing bore of a love story that tests your threshold for pain...

Teri Meri Kahaani
...doesn’t work despite potential in the premise. It feels soulless and superficial, and is unlikely to find many fans.

Shivaay
...is basically Taken with a big helping of melodrama, and a lot of talking. A LOT of talking. Way too much talking.

Parmanu
...takes a little too much freedom with the "based on true events" story as director Abhishek Sharma chooses to go Bollywood-ish way by implanting random bits of patriotism in the movie.

Pihu
It’s neither a compelling cautionary tale about bad parenting or a sufficiently responsible thriller. The film revels in making you flinch and squirm and cringe. That’s just mean-spirited.

Dulha Mil Gaya
...well-worn, formulaic fare that might appeal to viewers who find comfort in the familiar, and who are still excited by those hackneyed stories about righteous Indian girls who show materialistic NRI boys the error of their ways.

Bas Ek Tamanna
...could be praised for its progressive script. The integrity and community feeling of Lucknow is captured well but the director could have avoided the futile debate about polygamy.

Bumboo
...a film made with good intentions but somehow the makers couldn't transform the original idea onto the celluloid.

Ghanchakkar
...lazily scripted film that leaves you bored and searching for the nearest exit.

Gori Tere Pyaar Mein
You expect rom-coms to be frothy, escapist fluff, but Gori Teri Pyaar Mein specializes in a brand of emptiness that struggles to hold your attention.

Main Tera Hero
...is a series of forced contrivances. The humor feels labored and manufactured, never arising spontaneously from the situations. It's a shame because you'd think Dhawan Sr would know exactly how to make these tropes work.

Khamoshiyan
After watching 'Khamoshiyan' we seriously need to dwell on the fact that the storyline of all these scary movies have become so redundant that it is more of a déjà vu everytime.

Mubarakan
In the end the film is the same old comedy of errors that we've seen so many times before.

Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai
It's got moments that will make you smile, but it's hardly out of this world.

Lafangey Parindey
...isn't a particularly bad film; it's just not a good film either. It's the kind of film that keeps you waiting for something to happen, but nothing ever does. There's no element of surprise or unpredictability in its screenplay...
