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

Jab Harry Met Sejal
There is just not enough meat on the bones to keep you invested in the protagonists’ journey, or in their relationship, which feels clumsy and muddled but not in an interesting, honest way.

Kaalakaandi
The humor is hysterical but never consistent. And sadly there’s not a lot more to it.

Satyameva Jayate
...has its heart at the right place, but a convoluted screenplay hampers its chances.

Karthik Calling Karthik
...appears confused and half-baked, and it commits that deadly unforgivable cinematic sin – it bores you!

Prince
...marvelously moronic movie that uses visual effects to fake everything from stunt scenes and explosions, to hi-tech gizmos and even the Mumbai skyline.

Prince
Director Farah Khan will stop at nothing to get a laugh out of you. No disability is too sensitive to make a joke of, and no stereotype too overused to flog one last time.

Chaalis Chauraasi
An average thriller but good acting can make you stay throughout the film.

Freaky Ali
The film is like a sixer on a golf field, irrelevant and unnecessary. Even Siddiqui’s brave act can’t save this one.

Naam Shabana
The problem at the root of this film is that it literally offers nothing new, other than the idea of a woman who knows her way around a fight. The plot is predictable from the word go, and yet it unfolds over an excruciating two-and-a-half hours.

Lucknow Central
It’s all by-the-numbers storytelling, particularly the big escape plan and the way it unfolds. There is literally no surprise, no unpredictability in how things go down.

Shootout At Wadala
...revels in its violence, yet sadly all the bloodshed leaves you unaffected and cold.

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.

Chauranga
...makes all the right noises about the dangers of a patriarchal society, sexual depravity among the religious class, and the need for education. But the film unfolds at such a languid pace, and its narrative is so disjointed you really have to fight yourself to stay invested in the story.

Tum Bin 2
...the film thrives on its emotional quotient and the picturesque locales in Scotland. Since it has nothing new to offer, it comes across as just another mediocre film.

Behen Hogi Teri
You’d wish the makers had trimmed its flabby bits; there was potential here.

Watch it if you're a die-hard Salman fan. It's an epic-sized period film with tacky special effects. Unacceptable in these times.

...an unsatisfying effort because the filmmaker continues to invest more in the appearance of every frame than in the emotional truth of his characters.

Luv Ka The End
Like its very protagonists, this is a vapid, vacuous film that seems intended for similarly shallow youngsters who're still amused by such tired comic devices as itching powder and laxatives.

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.

Phantom
The jingoistic dialogue and the film’s questionable message aside, this is boring, inert stuff.

Zila Ghaziabad
The director tries to give a new perspective to the gangster film but somewhere 'Zila Ghaziabad' finds itself stuck in the realms of inspirations from other films.

The Shaukeens
There are the odd moments of inspired humor - all crude - between the three senior actors, but for the most part they're wasted.

I can't decide what's worse - that they plagiarized a film entirely, or that they couldn't even make a good film despite that!
