Khandaani Shafakhana
...is another example that proves that Bollywood is thinking out of the box. But the subject alone isn't enough, the key is to present it in an engaging manner, with a dose of entertainment. The film tries to do so, but doesn't quite make the cut.

Singh Saab The Great
...a film designed to show Sunny Deol histrionics, the way his fans are by now accustomed to seeing him.

...has its share of moments, but they don't add up to make this an entertaining ride.

Guzaarish
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's monumental folly is so spectacularly silly that it makes Saawariya look like a masterpiece.

Happy New Year
If you go and watch Happy New Year, you will surely sit through it but will you walk out smiling? I can't take that guarantee.

Zero
They have to try and make sense AND they have to keep Shah Rukh Khan fans happy. In this tussle, logic is thrown into the Pacific Ocean.

Sarkar 3
The first half is engaging enough, but loses its way post the interval. There are loose ends which are never tied, and by the time the climax comes, you have pretty much figured out how it is going to end.

Rann
...the next time Verma decides to unmask the media, he should try doing a little homework. As of now, Rann is a joke, saved only by its fine cast.

Pari
...is different from other Bollywood horror films. Yes. But, we still have a long, long way to go in the genre.

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

Mohenjo Daro
Gowariker took huge liberties with the historical details of the period, understandably, in the service of a grand, commercial film that would appeal to one and all, but in the process, ended up making something that just cannot be taken seriously.

Kurbaan
My problem with Kurbaan is not just that it covers ground similar to New York... My problem is also not just that it makes terrorism look ridiculously simple... My problem is movies that have decided to make a market of this. There's a formula at work here.

Khoobsurat
Looks like Khoobsurat is for the multiplex audience but I'm not sure if today's generation will enjoy a dull show like this one.

Raid
Even as Raid raises pertinent questions on lionising immoral heroes and ignoring the ones who actually do the right thing, it lacks vision and wastes the opportunity to dive deep into this discrepancy.

Street Dancer 3D
...is one big fat dance performance at a huge reality show, which has a story thrown in somewhere there.

Housefull
This is Sajid Khan's strange universe where gay jokes abound, wife swapping makes for humour, and innuendo is rife. Where the language is coarse and the humour in-your-face.

Joker
Madness, done with method, can be hilarious. Or, as in the case of Joker, it can be a royal bore.

Guddu Rangeela

Simran
...the film struggles with the continuity of a mood or tone. The comedy approach here doesn't pay dividends, with many of the punchlines missing the mark and most having been exhausted in the trailer itself.

Batla House
The Rashomon Effect, contradictory interpretations of a single event, is only introduced towards the end. By then, the film's conclusion is like most other police encounters. Fairly predictable.

Agent Vinod
It doesn't work. And it's because Raghavan, the master of cool, doesn't keep it cool enough. He makes the time honoured mistake of succumbing to the considerable charms of his lead pair and makes it mawkish.

R... Rajkumar
The film does not leave you with a single memorable scene despite its loud effort to impress.
