Begum Jaan
There is a strong feminist statement here, but unfortunately, it’s drowned out by all the noise.

Not A Love Story
What could've been a sweet, simple love story turns into a confused film that never justifies its spirited title.

Cocktail
With the right ingredients in the right proportions, this might have made for a smooth concoction. But Cocktail is a mostly flat romance; one that could've done with more heart.

Gippi
Ultimately, this could have been a sweet, unusual tale about the triumph of a nerd, yet it's let down by its affected tone.

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan
The film doesn't always work because it relies too heavily on silly stereotypes and cliches, and because you can see exactly where it's going from the moment you settle into your seat.

Chhodo Kal Ki Baatein
...doesn't boast of stars but Pramod Joshi cares to use the medium of cinema for a good cause. The subject is complex but it has the potential to make you think.

From Sydney With Love
...is meant for the takers of simple and idealistic romance. The makers don’t fancy to develop a new love theorem and remains within the comfort zone.

Inkaar
The trouble with Inkaar is that even if it does have a bunch of interesting ideas, they're lost in a muddled drama.

Katti Batti
It doesn’t say much about a romantic comedy if the smartest joke they could come up with is the name of a pet turtle.

Rokkk
The film has its spooky moments; sure half of them were over done with the unnecessary sound effects, which has now become a trait of every horror flick.

Rokkk
Popular films seldom address such uncomfortable subjects honestly. This film has the ambition, but there's no excuse for boring us!

Rokkk
The film takes a promising premise and fails to realize its potential because it's trying too hard to be cool.

I Me Aur Main
At less than two hours, it's hardly a slog. But you can't help feeling like real potential was squandered.

Jai Ho
It might have its heart in the right place, but the brain appears to be missing.

Happy Ending
This is a film that wants to be many things all at once - a rom-com between a fading star and the next big thing, also a clever satire on Bollywood.

Azhar
Viewers would have loved the film and found Hashmi’s inning as the former captain a lot more interesting only if the director hadn’t tried too hard to glorify Azhar as an underdog.

Banjo
...the notion of a film about an undervalued genre of musicians is more compelling than "Banjo" itself.

Noor
Although handsomely mounted and evocatively shot, Noor lacks a sense of genuine urgency. The protagonist’s journey from flaky to fully reformed is never convincing...

Bewakoofiyaan
Despite three likeable actors in principal roles, 'Bewakoofiyaan' feels lightweight instead of lighthearted. Asthana directs with an easy hand, but she's saddled with a dead duck of a script that simply can't be saved.

Bewakoofiyaan
...the film is emotionally dragging and is like an Ekta Kapoor soap. If you miss some portion of the film, you will not lose track, as the story just doesn't move ahead in the second half.

Bewakoofiyaan
...despite its important subject, what’s missing in this film is drama, conflict and outrage.

Pappu Can't Dance Saala
Too bad they didn't spend more time hammering out a better script.
