Bullett Raja
...sorely misses the Dhulia brand of attitude and sincerity in the script and the treatment. Someone bring the real man back please, we will forgive and forget this one.

Aisa Yeh Jahaan
The characterisation is relatable, but at times the film appears to be a documentary.

Badrinath Ki Dulhania
Both the Shashank Khaitan movie and Varun Dhawan's character have very few redeeming features. This seems like a film from the '90s. In the '90s, of course, one could get away with all kinds of stuff.

A Gentleman
I miss the Raj & DK of Go, Goa, Gone, and their films where gags come flying your way fast and quick. There was a threadbare plot in that one too, but at least it was clever. This is just a snoozefest, all the way.

This film’s intentions—even if multiple, and therefore all mixed up—are laudable, no doubt. But, naah, doesn’t quite cut it, you know.

Laal Kaptaan
...there are way too many scenes to the point that it begins to feel like a stretch, and you merely hope for the movie to get to the point.

No Problem
There is nothing original, clever or even remotely interesting to keep you engrossed in the proceedings. It reeks of contempt for the audience...

Love U...Mr. Kalakaar!
The biggest drawback of the film is the half-baked script. While it does create some drama it fails miserably to connect with you on any level.

Maximum
This police department politics story had the potential to become a gripping drama about morality and justice. But it stays indifferent and lacklustre.

Student Of The Year
The first half drags with its silly flashback songs; the second is slightly more purposeful. As Karan Johar films go, this film entertains but only just. Period.

Besharam
This film by Kashyap is more like a whimper that sometimes follows an explosion of a firecracker.

Sarkar 3
...I don't particularly hate this Sarkar, the film. One just begins to feel indifferent towards it beyond a point. Which isn't a good thing, I know. But then, if “it is what it is” kinda casual indifference follows plain dejection, and natural helplessness, then so be it.

The Great Indian Butterfly
If you enjoy watching two adults have long conversations about life then this one might be worth the trip.

Tell Me O Kkhuda
Largely insipid, with some rare exciting moments, makes this film a dull fare.

Housefull 2
This is a movie in which you have to leave your brains out of the auditorium. You may chuckle, laugh, smile or squirm (take your pick) on the silliness that unfolds. You can step in and out of the auditorium, it won’t matter.

In an ideal world, this film wouldn’t have lasted longer than 70 minutes. A majority of the sequences are repetitive and pointless.

Tiger Zinda Hai
...at 160 plus minutes, this movie is more than a bit of a stretch (both literally, and figuratively).

There are a few brilliant scenes in the film, which actually tempt you to get involved, but unfortunately the film lacks consistency.

Jeena Hai Toh Thok Daal
The semblance of the plot is badly disturbed when its screenplay prefers to move in a predictable direction. Sloppy camerawork couldn’t be hidden for long either.

The statutory warning about drinking being injurious to health certainly applies to the film. The copious amount of alcohol that is downed throughout the film is enough to cause a severe hangover to the audience.

De De Pyaar De
The film just stops being about a relationship; let alone romance, or comedy. It's almost like the filmmakers are certain the intended audience won't connect much with such a young-old love, by itself, in a single screen theatre. Well if you think they can't take it, then why make it?

It could have done a lot better in terms of entertainment, if nothing else. Perhaps making a memorable movie wasn’t part of the plan.

Stand By
While making a point about political interference and corruption (the flavour of the season!) in football, Stand By leans heavily towards Bollywood melodrama. This is most unnecessary in what could have been a hard-hitting look at what ails Indian sports.

Jo Hum Chahein
If you are an incurable romantic, it won't hurt you to watch this one once. It would be like going on a date with a beautiful but not so bright girl, just for the heck of it.

Mere Pyare Prime Minister
That you don't feel for anyone in this film (let alone, the issue), with the camera hovering around a bunch of parallel songs/story-lines, aimed to extend a simple short film into a full-length feature, is perhaps worse.
