Finding Fanny
The best thing about this screwball comedy is that Homi Adajania has evidently made it purely for the fun of it and not as a desperate bid to play to the gallery.

Mary Kom
All this film needed was a bit more guts to chart its own path with Mary Kom herself as an inspiration. But sadly, they chose to play to the gallery instead. Mary and Priyanka deserved a better film.

Identity Card
...would have made greater impact if it were presented as a short film instead of a full-length feature.

Raja Natwarlal
This film had huge potential but sadly one walks out of the theatre unimpressed by Raja Natwarlal’s antics and this film.

Life Is Beautiful
The direction is directionless, the acting is awful, the music is humdrum and well, there is no story.

...pleasantly surprises with its delightful absurdity and sure gets you roaring with laughter at several points.

Kick
Welcome to bizarreland. This is where people do what they want and the audience is expected to digest it with open mouthed admiration.

Pizza
Given the choices that we have these days in this genre, this film definitely stands out.

Hate Story 2
...it’s not a bad film. Which also means that it could have been lot better given that it has a decent plot to fall back on.

Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania
This film clearly doesn't take itself too seriously and it doesn't want you to either, which is kind of nice.

Bobby Jasoos
The director creates a charming world that you are reluctant to get out of, even when the film is over. Now that is an achievement.

Ek Villain
...a classic example of a film that takes itself so seriously that it ends up looking manipulative and largely lacking in genuine emotions and soul.

Humshakals
Silly, irreverent humour is always a welcome change. But braindead, childish (sorry children, don't roll your eyes yet) pathetic attempt at funny is not.

Fugly
The basic plot is promising but then it is filled with so many loopholes that one wishes that the writers had concentrated on filling them instead of trying to cram in as many crude “Haryanvi” type of jokes into the script as possible.

Filmistaan
Kakkar deserves a round of applause for staying true to the story and thus establishing the fact that a sincere story, told with simplicity, can entertain you as much if not more, in spite of the absence of the mandatory romantic songs or worse still, an item number.

Citylights
...even though the direction and performances are impressive, the script seems manipulated and contrived at certain points, as if designed to pull the emotional trigger of the audience.

Kochadaiiyaan
...the poor production values of this highly ambitious film override all the positives and you come out of the theatre wishing for a lot more.

Heropanti
The script and the film are on a tumble downhill right from the start and ultimately hit the rock bottom of utter nonsense and unintended hilarity.

The Xpose
In case you’re looking for plain entertainment, this extravagant endeavour won’t disapppoint.

Hawaa Hawaai
While most of the film is delightful and tugs at your heart, at some points, it seemed like the screenplay has been manipulated to get the audiences’ empathy. Not such a bad thing, now only if the effort didn’t show.

Kaanchi
...shows promise in the beginning, but soon enough, its potential is lost even though the climax offers some inspiration.

Revolver Rani
The film starts with much promise, with a kind of quirkiness and black humour that fits well with the subject in hand.

2 States
...alas, for most part, Varman, much like a good schoolboy, sticks to the novel, without really adding his own creative inputs. Bhagat’s book is no classic to demand that kind of reverence.
