Kadvi Hawa
Despite a running time of 95 minutes, Kadvi Hawa still feels a laboured watch. Nitin Dixit's screenplay trudges along, not digging deep into what has created the harsh landscape that has made the farmer woes from bad to worse.

Gabbar Is Back
Watch it if you want to re-see Akshay Kumar's superhuman antics, which he's pretty much mastered by now - Rowdy Rathore, Boss, Khiladi 786, ad nauseam, ad infinitum.

Raaz 3
...unfolds like a film that was written, directed and produced in fits of hallucination.

Chakravyuh
...the film is a victim of poor writing and loose story-telling. It's a film that could have left a lasting impression but fails to live up to the hype.

Phantom
...begins fine, and then loses way so badly that by the end, you're just waiting for an extra helping of Afghan Jalebi.

Fukrey Returns
It isn't spectacular, but does leave you with a smile on your face, at the end.

Gold
...Gold's increasing tendency to take a simplistic and contrived approach to history to create thrill doesn't work.

Baaghi 2
...is ridden with loopholes the size of craters, and doesn't have a coherent structure.

Sharafat Gayi Tel Lene
Director Gurmeet Singh has done an average job with the star cast and the script of the film. The short duration of the film works its favour as it keeps it crisp and to the point.

We Are Family
Kajol cries, Kareena cries, the kids cry and even Rampal sheds an artful tear. We weep for the loss of two hours.

Raabta
...the biggest obstacle in the path of Raabta is the story. The subject is nothing that has not been done in Indian cinema earlier. The way the story is treated takes a toll on your patience.

Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi

Bombay Velvet
Aspirations, frustrations, ambition, greed, manipulation, betrayal, struggles and rivalries abound the canvas of Bombay Velvet. But for a film with so much happening, it's amazing that little registers an impact or feels of consequence.

Beyond The Clouds
...is well-meaning in its message of compassion in a harsh world but it is one thing to tug at the heartstrings and another to become a sappy Bollywood drama while doing so.

Malang
The story of Malang offers nothing new and struggles to establish itself throughout.

Yamla Pagla Deewana 2
It's a weird mess rolling in goofed-ups, shaadi naach-gaana, kidnappings and clownish dons, patented to woo the lowest common denominator.

Gulaab Gang
It doesn't take long to realise that Gulaab Gang has adopted a familiar route. A wrong is committed. There's the search for justice. It is achieved with fierce fighting. And then there's a song to celebrate the good times.

Bank Chor
...starts as a slapstick comedy with decent laughs, but then goes the thriller way. This is where it falters; neither does the film make you laugh, nor does it deliver thrills.

David
...tries to push the envelope on Bollywood innovation with its multiple tales. Ironically for a film with three stories to tell, it is weak on content.

Alone
A weak story balancing on the shoulders of two dull protagonists, even the secondary characters cannot save Alone.

Hero
Hero is a debut film that makes Saawariya and Student of the Year seem good movies. That says a lot about the film itself.

Sarbjit
The blame lies largely in the script which doesn't leave much for its actors to do other than excessively cry or scream or otherwise sit sulking.

Heropanti
Ultimately, Heropanti becomes all about Shroff's athletic ability and has little to do with his acting ones.

Ungli
The intention may have been good but the plot is silly and way to unrealistic! It's kind of clear that some of it was possibly salvaged in post production but quite a bit was beyond repair.

Daas Dev
Impoverished, rebellious farmers, greedy businessmen and corrupt and manipulative politicians and their goons are some of the many issues that Mishra skims through with little thought.
