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

Baat Bann Gayi
There is so much confusion in this comedy of errors that the film's characters are mouthing lines such as "yeh kya ho raha hai, mujhe kuch samajh nahin aa raha, it's getting complicated." Exactly how you feel while watching Baat Bann Gayi!

Besharam
...tries bringing back funk to the Bollywood screen. It would have worked if Kashyap and company focussed on just that bit instead of compromising on the novelty factor for 100-crore basics.

Warning
You would expect the film to be gripping but this one is just a dull bore. All you wait for is the end and that takes too long to come.

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

Madras Cafe
The film tells a story we already knew. Yet it scores because of the way Sircar maintains intrigue, teasing viewers with regular twists.

Chennai Express
...a loud and crazy experience, so what if you might just forget all of it even as you hit the exit door after the show.

It's not quite popcorn & cola stuff but if you are forever hungering for cinema of a different taste, check this one out.

Bajatey Raho
This film looks cliched when it tries to be funny, jaded when it sets out to thrill (the second half, where suspense mattered, simply falls flat), and goes all soppy with emotions.

Ramaiya Vastavaiya

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
...tries to inspire without getting too complex about it and succeeds. Just for that, it is worth a watch.

Lootera
Motwane manages to embrace the complexities of human nature with aplomb in the film, filled with melodrama.

Raanjhanaa
...harks back to the way Bollywood used to make love stories once upon a time. With some imagination, the effect would have been nostalgic, too.

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

Fukrey
...reminds you that Bollywood these days is trying to entertain beyond tested flavours. The effort may have stumbled in execution. At least, like the four fukreys, the makers did try hard.

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.

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Ayan Mukerji's second film is exactly the second film you would expect from director who made his debut with Wake Up Sid, driven by the pros and cons that come in the wake.

Ishkq In Paris
Preity is feisty as ever but she isn't doing anything she might not have already done in a zillion films before.

Aurangzeb
You have a cracker of an idea, the build up is great too, and then gross lack of imagination turns everything into a mangled mess post interval.

Bombay Talkies
It leaves a warm afterglow reminding us that cinema in India flourished thanks to its audience. Bollywood in its 100th year has given fans a nice gift.
