Gunday
...isn't unwatchable, but it's certainly a case of potential squandered. The film has an authentic look and feel of 70s Calcutta, some robust cinematography, and a few good tunes. It's also got two live-wire leading men whose on-screen chemistry sadly isn't mined for enough laughs.

...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.

Dulha Mil Gaya
...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.

Agent Vinod
For a large portion of Agent Vinod, you don't know where things are going… and then it all stretches on so needlessly that you stop caring.

Krishna Aur Kans
With good production values, ‘Krishna Aur Kans’ is childish but enjoyable, but you really need to avoid the lack of excellence in animation.

Dishkiyaoon
A weak story-line and amateurish direction, coupled with average performances, the film disappoints on many levels.

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.

...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...

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.

...the film is a prime example of how mind-blowing ensemble casts can't make a great movie if it lacks the quality and rest of the key ingredients.

Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana
...while the film gets you chuckling at times, it disappoints you for being a mixture of familiar works and for not justifying the issues it supposedly deals with.

Veere Di Wedding
...suffers primarily on account of its inconsistent tone. The film might have worked as an irreverent comedy, but much of it is treated as an emotional drama...
