Love Aaj Kal
To see that Sara and even Kartik, who hasn't really cemented his foot as an actor but clearly wants to, have surrendered themselves to Imtiaz Ali, and then ended up with a poorly written script, limited characterisation and sub-par direction, is heartbreaking.

Lakshmi
It's one thing to show torture on screen to make viewers cringe at the violence. It's quite another if viewers feel like they have seen a film which is filled with unforgivably cringeworthy moments.

Department
No one in the cast seems to care anyway. Probably, all of them realised this was a script where 'acting' is all about shooting or being shot - depending on which end of the gun you are made to stand.

Katti Batti
...even when the filmmakers and the cast and crew try their best to make you believe it is a 'fresh story', Katti Batti gives you a strong sense of been there, seen that.

Omerta
...inspires neither fear nor disdain. It leaves you empty and wondering as to what drew Mehta to this guy in the first place.

Thugs Of Hindostan
By the end of Thugs of Hindostan audiences will feel they have been looted of their time and denied the joy of watching two talented stars, Bachchan and Khan, come together for the first time.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3
The Saheb Biwi aur Gangster movies have thrived on the combination of sex, power, lies and backstabbing but this time around Dhulia is low on ideas, humour and most importantly a compelling narrative.

Hamari Adhuri Kahani
With a foreboding title like Hamari Adhuri Kahani, the real tragedy of this romance is that the tears never come. Instead audiences find themselves whinging at the events on screen.

Ragini MMS - 2
Our suggestion: watch the first half of Ragini MMS or get hold of The Conjuring. These films accomplish in doing what Ragini MMS 2 fails to.

Kick
Four people are credited with the film's screenplay including producer and debutant director Sajid Nadiadwala and popular author Chetan Bhagat. But they come up with little ingenious or entertaining.

Dilli Gang
May be this film sounded great on paper to the above four acting talents. Sadly, none of it shows on screen.

Ek Paheli Leela
As far as the story is concerned, Ek Paheli Leela gasps and pants, a la its lead heroine, and is unable to do much to the viewer.

Aiyaary
Pandey has a know-it-all approach to the world of armed forces only he is not able to bring it alive for cinema. Also missing is the humour that he is able to effortlessly intersperse in between moments of high drama.

Kedarnath
...is a hackneyed love story that just doesn't flow. Though performances by Sushant and Sara are commendable, the film leaves you rather untouched.

Bangistan
One struggles to find real humorous moments in Karan Anshuman's directorial debut, Bangistan, which is rather ambitious as it looks to both amuse and preach like Rajkumar Hirani's PK did more recently.

Hope Aur Hum
...barring a few amusing moments where the characters come alive, Bandyopadhyay struggles to maintain the feel-good temperament or make his characters endearing. Hope aur Hum ultimately lacks purpose.

Jabariya Jodi

MSG
This doesn't really qualify as a film it's a three hours seventeen minute publicity video for the Dera Sacha Sauda chief.
