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.

Yeh Saali Zindagi
...is like a blueberry cheesecake. A delightful little trifle that works because the actors don't think they are auditioning for a consumer ad or a fashion glossy photo shoot.

Some films rip your heart out and keep it on the table as it lies beating. You watch in frozen fascination, knowing it will eventually stop.

It's an oddly half-hearted film from a woman who is never known to do anything in half measure.

Golmaal 3
There's no point complaining about the utterly politically incorrect nature of the speech-impaired jokes or the vulgar nature of various actions, so I won't.

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.

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.

The film is overwritten, over acted, overcharged but also super fun.
