Shortcut Romeo
...takes too long to unveil a suspense you probably figure out midway. For a suspense thriller, that can be the biggest flaw.

Laal Kaptaan
...Laal Kaptaan's biggest flaw is that it is too heavily dependent on Saif, but doesn't offer the necessary support for him to pull it through. Ultimately, it remains a film that had all the right ingredients but is still under-cooked.

Satyagraha
The film is well-intentioned film, its message relevant. Unfortunately, not every well-intentioned film with relevant message leaves an impact.

Tum Mile
Yes, I'm glad Emraan and Soha kiss and make up but frankly it didn't need a disaster to do it.

Jazbaa
...is not quite the re-entry to Bollywood Aishwarya's fans had been expecting. But she does do a largely good job of nailing her mother-in-distress act...

India‘s Most Wanted
...suffers from a sluggish pace, which is quite detrimental for a film of this genre. It is a crime thriller. The film needed to have been knit a lot better.

Tanhaji
By showing a human being with extraordinary capabilities by exaggerating his qualities, to the point of making him unbelievably superhuman, the makers lose an opportunity. They end up turning this historical hero into a fictional creation and not a flesh-and-blood person who can inspire the upcoming generations.

Badrinath Ki Dulhania
If you're just looking to have a good laugh and enjoy small-town humour, Badrinath Ki Dulhania will not disappoint. But if you're looking for food for thought, the film might just not live up to your expectations.

Daddy
Watch this gangster drama for Arjun Rampal's heartfelt performance. He breathes as Arun Gawli in Daddy. But don't go into the theatre expecting to learn anything eye-opening about the Mumbai underworld. You will come back disappointed.

Parmanu
If you can get through two hours of clichéd dialogues, occasional deadpan textbook dialogues from John Abraham and much desh-bhakti, there is an interesting climax as a reward waiting for you, at the end.

Manjhi
The praise apart, where Manjhi really loses the way is in the way Dashrath's story is presented.

Teri Meri Kahaani
...fails to find a USP simply because the three love stories it narrates aren't altogether new.

Mr. X
The story is very predictable, but there aren't really those moments when you feel why the film doesn't end. Two for the film, and a half extra for Hashmi. Watch it for Emraan Hashmi...baaki ki chinta chhodo.

Race 2
A patchy script wholly banks on its stylish cast and a more stylish treatment. Oops... was that also my line when I reviewed Race four years back?

Pataakha
Bhardwaj though doesn't delve too deep into making them agents of change, more inclined to return to the shenanigans that provides the laughs. Pataakha further succumbs to taking a clichéd route to create drama and conflict, one more befitting in soap operas.

Veere Di Wedding
The good part - Veere Di Wedding isn't as frivolous as Rhea Kapoor's other productions like Aisha and Khoobsurat. It does break a few stereotypes with its story-telling. It's a film that you cannot completely dismiss for being too bold, too outrageous or too offensive.

Ragini MMS
Surely the film will have an audience among those young enough to be scared by the chills and desperate enough to find the sex titillating.But I guess I just wasn't scared enough.

What The Fish
...after appearing to be a promising tale of what could happen, the film fails to surprise you anymore by the time it nears the climax.

AkaashVani
The film could have done with a more crisp narrative. At a near two-and-half hour runtime, you wish the tale was cut short by at least an hour. What works for the film, though, is the cast.

Citylights
It's a good one but from the team of Shahid and with Mahesh Bhatt backing the project, we expected more.

Ok Jaanu
The strength of the film is that it remains faithful to the original, and if you haven't watched that, OK Jaanu makes for a decent watch.

Jawaani Jaaneman
Though Jawaani Jaaneman is backed by strong performances, it couldn't make the film memorable. It suffers from a slow-paced predictable plot and patchy editing.

Raavan
...so we get Mani Ratnam's politics. What we don't get is his art. This is perhaps his most beautiful film--and that's saying a lot for someone who makes such an effort to frame his scenes. But it is also one of his weakest central characterisations.

If you want to watch Naam Shabana, do; just make sure you don't go in with the expectation of watching a riveting action-thriller like Baby.
