Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana
...as the reels roll you realise Anurag's Chicken Khurana lacks the right amount of spice. Debutant director Sharma somehow doesn't get the mix of Punjabi humour and melodrama right.

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.

War Chhod Na Yaar
...is not a ha ha fest but it makes you laugh at places and it has an important message.

Mary Kom
Mary Kom's story is a great one and we all know that. The film falls short in doing justice to Magnificent Mary.

Bol Bachchan
Far from being LOL stuff, Bol Bachchan ends up being Bore Bachchan, with a lame climax.

Vishwaroop
Is this a good movie or a bad movie? A bit of both--with both intentional and unintentional light relief.

Kaabil
Watch Kaabil for Hrithik Roshan, who deserves an extra star above the 1.5 to the film. There's not much else in Kaabil.

I Hate Luv Storys
It's not just the writing, which can be as pallid as the production design is vibrant. We've had it till here with the re-enatment of recent YashRaj and Karan Johar film scenes.

Heroine
Madhur Bhandarkar, toasted for the heroine-oriented scripts he creates, has just given us his weakest female protagonist yet. That itself lays bare the irony about the film titled Heroine.

A Flying Jatt
...is meant for kids. If grown-ups don't mind doing the fabled "leave the brain outside the home and enjoy" routine before stepping into the theatre, they will not mind A Flying Jatt.

Lahore
It's a film that could have done with less length and more effort to find a better lead. Fewer cliches too.

Tees Maar Khan
It's an oddly half-hearted film from a woman who is never known to do anything in half measure.

Tanu Weds Manu Returns
While the first half is pacy, fun and eventful and spearheaded fabulously by Ranaut, the second is a disappointment. Devoid of ideas to reach the inevitable climax...

Tamasha
What makes Tamasha worth a watch are the leads. If only the story was as imaginative as Ved is supposed to be.

Helicopter Eela
...might have had a clear purpose. But that gets glossed over by a stretched storyline and at times, over-hammy acting. The excessive drama shoots down any comic potential.

Akira
All in all, Akira is a dumb commercial potboiler, with a superlative performance by Anurag Kashyap.

Judwaa 2
...is meant to be old wine in a new bottle. But this is no ageless wine, and maybe, David Dhawan should have checked the expiry date before making the film.

Soorma
The film falls supremely short of harnessing dramatic potential and is just another hackneyed run-of-the-mill biopic. A champion is turned into a colourless Bollywood hero.

Jannat 2
Emraan Hashmi is the champion of B-life. He's back again in a vehicle tailormade for his unique ability to look fear in the eye.

Tubelight
The film is horribly stretched and takes a severe toll on your patience levels.

Hate Story 3
...is one of those films that make you wonder exactly what you want to do after watching it. Laugh, cry, tear your hair out.

Sniff
The emergence of an adventurous hero and his exploits as a spy should infuse pace and energy into the proceedings but that isn't necessarily the case here.

Aladin
...despite the Rs 80 crore of special effects wasted on this film, Aladin has neither magic nor is it particularly magical.

Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal
...labours under situations familiar from a zillion Priyadarshan slapsticks.

Bobby Jasoos
The idea of Bobby Jasoos is good but the execution is not! The script is full of loopholes and is very predictable.

Baby
At 2 hours and 40 minutes Baby is too long to entertain and since it's full of flaws it seems much longer.

Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas

Pyaar Impossible
If you must watch it, please do so for Priyanka. She really needs better roles.
