Full credit to the footage collectors Yash and Allison for cracking the oft-abused genre of horror so effectively.

Sahi Dhandhe Galat Bande
...a kind of unique effort . It teases the conscience awake. It's a warm and honest film that looks with unblinking directness at issues which are more relevant now than ever.

...appeals at a very basic level. They don’t make too many movies like these any more.

Damadamm
...has its nice sweet wholesome moments. It's one of those innocuous romcoms that neither leave you impressed nor cold.

Ragini MMS
This is a film whose integrity towards the genre works against it.As you watch the supernatural terror unfold in what looks like reams and reams of repugnant realism you are shaken to the core.

Jodi Breakers
If the film works at all it’s because Madhavan and Bipasha make a cute couple and try to extract the maximum enjoyment from their under-written smart-on-top-shaky-at-the-bottom characters.

Karthik Calling Karthik
The film itself doesn’t lag behind in self-assurance. But the absence of what one may call an energetic exterior could well be mistaken by some viewers as an ingrained inertia, a malaise that the film’s protagonist suffers from.

Kashmakash
What redeems Kashmakash and finally makes it worth a lingering dekko is the warmth and romance that Rituprano Ghosh brings to his celluloid adapatation.

Break Ke Baad
...emerges as one of those love stories with a potential that gets squandered in an attempt to be constantly clever at the cost of sustaining the sensitivity that the two lead players build into their relationship.

Ready
...this is a mindless comedy. The quality of the gags is often higher than what we usually get in Bollywood comedies. But the film suffers from an overloaded narration. There is too much effort to cram in "entertainment" at every possible level.

Force
...a full-on action film with balls brawn and brains. It's the kind of virile cinema where action speaks louder than words.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster
Tigmanshu Dhulia's homage to Dutt is saucy if somewhat uneven in tone and jagged at the edges.

Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?
Finally you aren’t watching a film about family ties but a film that ties up the family in reams and reams of comic chaos. Vulgarity and double-meanings strictly not admissible.

Arshad gets it right. The rest just don’t get the point.They see dead people.We see a dead film.

Shagird
...is not devoid of merit. The Patekar characters affinity to vintage film songs gives a centre to an otherwise-doddering tale of desperate corruption.

Tere Bin Laden
...is many notches above the run-of-the-mill satire, as a spectral swipe at Osama-phobia, Bush-bashing and global terrorism this one doesn’t quite make the cut.

Everyone hams it to the hilt.There is no room for subtlety and nuances.
