Veerappan
...a hotchpotch of important incidents at best. At worst... let's not even go there.

Sarbjit
The blame lies largely in the script which doesn't leave much for its actors to do other than excessively cry or scream or otherwise sit sulking.

Azhar
Tony D'Souza's fictionalisation of Azharuddin's life works in most parts, but comes out as a deeply eulogising exercise.

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

Fan
Maneesh Sharma helps dust that Shah Rukh out from under the debris of the last few years. And Khan puts his best foot forward for his fans.

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

Rocky Handsome
...a sumptuous feast for action-lovers. Watch it if you swear by punches and kicks and special, hitherto-unseen-in-Hindi-films martial arts.

Kapoor & Sons
...a refreshing tale of family problems and the art of sweeping them under the carpet.

Aligarh
Apurva Asrani, screenwriter and also the editor, and Mehta deserve credit for reminding viewers of a forgotten, reluctant and wronged hero who happens to be gay. Their biggest accomplishment is that they have treated him with respect and sensitivity.

Tere Bin Laden Dead Or Alive
It sounds great only on paper for the execution is sloppy and the writing lacks wit.

Fitoor
...for all its spellbinding beauty, fumbles bad. The story meanders and loses way in between, and there seems a certain urgency in tying all the loose ends.

Sanam Teri Kasam
It doesn't help that 2 hours and 30 minutes are taken to tell this tiring, mawkish, insufferable, inevitable tale which begins with a spoiler.

Ghayal Once Again
At best, Ghayal 2.0 seems like Deol, 58, reliving his glorious past as the last.

Saala Khadoos
It is largely due to the sheer brilliance of Madhavan and Ritika's work that Saala Khadoos is saved from falling into the abyss of predictability, which it dangerously teeters on the edge of.

Mastizaade
...has no masti whatsoever. This is intolerable cruelty, a vicious attack on the senses.

Wazir
The slickness, the edge-of-the-seat quality, the darkness. Wazir is replete with the chiaroscuro that is so Bejoy Nambiar.

Bajirao Mastani
Bhansali takes a leaf out of history, and crafts it into an exquisite tale. And all the participants in this orchestra are in tune with the conductor, despite the occasional out-of-note keys.

Hate Story 3
...is one of those films that make you wonder exactly what you want to do after watching it. Laugh, cry, tear your hair out.

Tamasha
What makes Tamasha worth a watch are the leads. If only the story was as imaginative as Ved is supposed to be.

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo
...the film works for both Salman Khan and Sooraj Barjatya's specific audience bases.

Titli
...works because it is not just a poignant character study of an angry young man but also an incisive and intense family drama.

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.

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.

Jazbaa
...is not quite the re-entry to Bollywood Aishwarya's fans had been expecting. But she does do a largely good job of nailing her mother-in-distress act...
