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

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

Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi
Despite narrating a fairly predictable tale of love, the film works for the brilliant moments that the script provides.

Ek Tha Tiger
...a clever mix. The polished specs define Kabir but they have been smartly used to carve an essential Salman Khan blockbuster.

Gangs Of Wasseypur 2
...can only be seen as a smarter, better crafted extension of GOW rather than a sequel.

Jism - 2
...has been billed as an erotic thriller. Sift through the Sunny hype, and the film is neither erotic nor thrilling.

Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum
The film makes you snigger, and then you snigger at yourself for doing as much at something so obviously silly and raunchy.

Harud
It is one of the most definitive films on the subject that Bollywood has ever made.

Bol Bachchan
Far from being LOL stuff, Bol Bachchan ends up being Bore Bachchan, with a lame climax.

Teri Meri Kahaani
...fails to find a USP simply because the three love stories it narrates aren't altogether new.

Ferrari Ki Sawaari
...takes us back to Planet Hirani, where even evil is basically nice. It's a world where the hero doggedly defines innocence and does a wrong turn only by chance.

Shanghai
It is the heartland political thriller that several among the Bollywood lot have tried to make lately but didn't quite have the guts to.

Arjun
...isn't the best kiddie flick you'll ever see but it could work as a starter's guide for the little ones, on one of India's most fabled warriors.

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.

Jannat 2
Emraan Hashmi is the champion of B-life. He's back again in a vehicle tailormade for his unique ability to look fear in the eye.

Housefull 2
So yes folks, the tasteless and talentless bunch is back, bigger and bustier.

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.

Kahaani
Welcome back Sujoy Ghosh. We thought you were a one film wonder and had consigned you to oblivion after the disaster of Aladin. But Kahaani, a fast, fun, fearless thriller has made up for it.

London Paris New York
Yes, yes, the movie is heavily borrowed from Before Sunset, Before Sunrise and every other movie about love with a deadline, but there is a refreshing sweetness to it.

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu
The film looks like a rom com, smells like a rom com, behaves like a rom com. Fortunately, it's not.

Agneepath
Melodramatic, choir-inducing sentiment, ecstatic. Agneepath is that rare mainstream movie that is written well.

Players
Bollywood has realized it can camouflage its lack of stories with lots of thrills, chases, heists making the location exotic and the villains international even if it has to finally buy the remake rights legally.
