Bird Idol
...is definitely an honest attempt. But as Indian theatres are flooded with quality Hollywood animation films, this film will fail to grab any attention.

...is what you'd describe as Ramgopal Varma-lite. The thrills and scares are few and far between. They could have made this film in their sleep. Who knows, they probably did!

Paathshaala
It's clear the makers of this film had the seed of a good idea, but lacked the skills to turn it into an engaging film.

Phoonk 2
The best part about the film is the storyline that builds into a perfect climax.

Paathshaala
...offers a general glimpse of student life. It also tackles the issue of an ugly duckling of a child who is shunned by all. But all this is random and does not sync the way it should in a film.

The Japanese Wife
There is no denying the fact that The Japanese Wife gets bogged down by its indulgent pace. But stay with it and you will be rewarded.

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.

Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai
The film fails to make you laugh and is filled with cheesy and heavy romantic lines borrowed from yesteryear films.

Pankh
The film picks up the important and delicate issue of gender confusion and sexual identity, but treats the story in such a pretentious and heavy-handed manner that it's sometimes hard to empathize with the protagonist's pain.

Tum Milo Toh Sahi
This film is intended as a warm drama about love in a big city, but the script never quite gets around to achieving that.

Sadiyaan
...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.

Tum Milo Toh Sahi
...the film tries too hard to give importance to all the characters. And hence fails to bring out the main story effectively. What starts out as a promising film, progresses with a sprinkling of embarrassing 'filmi' lines.

The film is not just an entertainer, but leaves a message in a subtle way.

Hum Tum Aur Ghost
...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...

Mittal v/s Mittal
Predictable, but it does touch upon an important issue and brings out the predicament of a woman who is a victim of marital rape.

Love Sex Aur Dhokha
You will be shocked, you will be startled, but walking out of the theatre, you know you have just seen what is possibly the most important Hindi film since Satya and Dil Chahta Hai.

Lahore
It's well-intentioned, has its heart in the right place, and it's an engaging enough watch. But it never rises above that to become a film that could truly make a difference.

Right Yaaa Wrong
Cleverly plotted and never revealing all its cards at once, the film is a smart thriller. And yet the director fails to deliver a tight, slick Bollywood entertainer on the lines of those Abbas-Mustan whodunits, because his treatment's so archaic.

Hide & Seek
Apart from the promising premise, there isn't a kind word I can think of for this one!

Right Yaaa Wrong
Director Neerraj Pathak manages to create an edge-of-the-seat drama. You could guess the murderer, but the police takes its time to do that. The lead up to that and the court room drama makes for an interesting watch. However, the end is a tad disappointing.
