Fanney Khan
Kapoor's performance as a desperate and doting dad draws empathy even as the story falters.

Do Lafzon Ki Kahani
...has nothing much to offer apart from Randeep Hooda and the MMA sequences.

Mubarakan
Less tone-deaf humour, more quirks, a shorter running time and a more able younger cast and Mubarakan could have been more delightful.

Dishkiyaoon
Baweja fails to commander it and his lacklustre screen presence is not the only reason Dishkiyaoon fails to make an impact.

Vishwaroop II
Audiences would wish that like her character they too could forget majority of Vishwaroop 2 which is several notches low on entertainment than its average predecessor.

Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2
But the constant nice-guys-hard-done-by the evil gals narrative is more an annoying series of rants than an entertaining film.

Chal Bhaag
...a poorly written screenplay, amateur production design, shoddy performances, listless dialogues and useless item songs which play out as and when the director fancies.

Ki & Ka
Balki sets out to demolish stereotypes, but in the process, ends up affirming them even more.

Satyameva Jayate
With the clock ticking past the two hour mark, all the spiel on farz, izzat, imaandari is too familiar. You are left with a realisation: truth hurts but Satyamev Jayate hurts more.

Shaandaar
...the formula of a destination wedding, good looking people, loud families, could not rescue us from the wrath of the not-so Shaandaar movie.

Second Hand Husband
It doesn't take long for writers to run out of ideas on a flimsy premise.

Phillauri
Phillauri's concept is good and novel. But the delivery is what North Indians call KLPD. The climactic payoff at the end comes way too easily.

Saaho
...the makers got so carried away with crafting action scenes and Prabhas's starry presence that they forgot about the story and character development midway.

Lafangey Parindey
Watching both Deepika and Neil Nitin trying to get under the skin of their tough-as-nails characters is like watching two beautiful babies trying to put on Rambo acts. Cute but not enough.

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!

Jal
The film has too many threads and then you are left with a feeling of it going nowhere, almost like miles of dessert area in the films which leads to no oasis.

Ab Tak Chhappan 2
It doesn't take long for the absence of a narrative to hit the film hard.

Dear Maya
Her affecting presence that showcases Maya's vulnerability makes you glad that she's back. But even Koirala can't salvage this cloying affair.

Ujda Chaman
The film mainly lacks in the writing department. It could have been a fun, slice-of-life film which could have brought a serious issue into general discourse, but loose writing makes it rather bland.

Total Siyapaa
...comes across as a poor attempt to marry the films Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and Meet the Parents.

UnIndian
Brett Lee is quite the 'sport' in his (almost) Bollywood debut, however, let-down by this uninspired cross-over romantic comedy.

Why Cheat India
Give this a miss. Because you feel so cheated after watching this two-hour-long yawn fest, that you cannot stop asking yourself 'Why'. That's a question Emraan Hashmi needs to answer.

Traffic
For a film which largely unfolds in real time, Traffic lacks direction and pace.

LoveYatri
...director Abhiraj Minawala takes the as-old-as-time route of a poor boy falling in love with a rich girl, but fails to infuse any life into it.

Kabir Singh
Kabir Singh spends 120 minutes of its 154 in showing Kabir either drinking or drunk or snorting cocaine or needling in morphine or fighting with people or, slapping his girlfriend or screaming at her. Or making out. In the remaining 24 minutes, his repentance is done with, and we all go home with a happy ending. If you think it is okay, if you think it is justified because 'movie hai yaar, it's not real life', you are part of the problem. Misogyny is not cool. Neither is Kabir Singh.

Game
Abhinay Deo, the king of the ad world, makes a tepid entry into the world of cinema. He gets bogged down with making each shot look pretty and perfect, the attention to the smallest details hinder rather than enhance the plot, and yet there are gaping holes in accuracy.
