Dabangg
An ordinary, at best average film, Dabangg can barely contain the presence of its larger-than-life star.

Daayen Ya Baayen
It's tiring yes, but also a respectable first film. If you have an appetite for the quirky and unusual, you might not be too disappointed.

Daawat-e-Ishq
...coasts along comfortably until intermission, then comes undone when multiple twists in the second half require complete sacrifice of logic. The humor dries up fast, and even at a running time of 2 hours, the film feels overlong.

D-Day
...is far from perfect, but as pulpy Bollywood action films go, it's very watchable and works its strengths.

Crazy Cukkad Family
While the plot is predictable, credible actors play their part extremely well and lift the script to a whole new level.

Court
Tamhane's film excels in revealing these terrific vignettes of life, and in the process it ends up moving you.

Commando 2
It takes superhuman strength to stop yourself from nodding off to sleep, because Commando 2 just goes round and round in convoluted circles.

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.

Club 60
Unfortunately writer-director Sanjay Tripathy can't lift this script from its quicksand of predictability, and can't avoid the mawkish melodrama that stories like these inevitably slip into.

Citylights
...isn't a bad film by any measure, but it does feel repetitive and long, even at a running time of less than two hours.

City Of Gold
...highly recommended for those who like raw and gritty cinema with a touch of realism.

City Of Gold
The film is watchable for the most part, and might have worked perfectly as an honest slice-of-life drama if it weren't for the filmmaker's tendency to go over the top.

Chor Chor Super Chor
...an intelligent film which has all the ingredients of a sleeper hit.

Chillar Party
It isn't half bad, but the party pooper here is a script that has no direction home.

Chhota Bheem And The Curse Of Damyaan

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.

Chef
...isn’t perfect; it lags in places, offers quick-fix solutions to characters’ problems, and feels wholly familiar. But at a little over two hours, it doesn't ask much of you, and offers some pleasure in Saif Ali Khan’s return to form as an actor hard to look away from.

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.

Chaurahen
For a film about characters at the crossroads of their lives, this one leaves you lost for directions.

Chargesheet
...it's just the respect for Dev Anand that people will go to cinema hall, otherwise after 'Chargesheet', one would not dare to watch any other film.

Chance Pe Dance
doesn't work because you feel no empathy for its protagonist. The film's writers -- if you can call them that, considering there is no script to speak of -- fail to invest even a hint of vulnerability in Sameer.
