Hello Darling
Spliced with equal doses double entendre and softcore smut, Hello Darling makes for uncomfortable watching.

War Chhod Na Yaar
...the intention and the much-needed message behind this project is praiseworthy but the execution meanders way too much.

Murder 2
This one has no mohabbat, not surely a zaroorat and probably just an aadat for the Bhatts to come out with a movie now and then, with a staple fare of explicit sex scenes and graphic violence in the name of a thrilling movie.

Action Jackson
...a happy addition to the run-of-the-mill films with the invisible please-leave-your-brain-at-home statutory label.

Baadshaho
It is a case of how a good ol' masala entertainer, which otherwise could have been an enjoyable affair thanks to its action sequences and some seeti maar dialogues, has gone wrong - once again, reiterating the importance of sharp writing in a thriller.

Why Cheat India
...it eventually starts descending to such levels of random, thoughtless spinning of the yarn that by the end of it you're not even too sure it's the same film that you had started with in the first place.

...one suspects, much of this movie pretty much remains in the filmmaker's imagination/head. Rest of it, quite honestly, gave me a bit of a headache.

Housefull 4
If the makers think running gags about pigeon and pig poop are funny, they all may have graduated from the Sajid Khan school of filmmaking, the master of puerile and asinine humour.

Madholal - Keep Walking
Despite the inspirational title, the protagonist only sleepwalks through out the film.

Mere Dost Picture Abhi Baki Hai
It could have been a slice-of-life but the need to make it a masala fare infused with the usual clichés makes it a drag.

Ramaiya Vastavaiya
Despite all their attempts at upholding entertainment, remakes such as these often pose a very simple question: will it work if the writers don’t put in a bit more effort when the audiences are more than willing to?

Uvaa
The youngsters in the film might have burned the midnight oil to become an example for others, but Uvaa does not even deserve grace marks.

Sadiyaan
The film is not for all audiences with the older lot finding the actors of their generation the only draw.

Saaho
They let loose on an eager audience merely set-pieces in quick succession, and so much random anth-shanth, akar-bakar, that it becomes impossible to saho (bear) Saaho, once you get closer to three hours.

Ragini MMS - 2
...is not yawn-inducing but quite entertaining. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s a shoddily-made film that could have been better if it hadn’t blindly followed the same old horror film formula.

Akira
Bored out of my wits, watching these good fellas with hardly anything significant to do, I could only feel a slight kira (insect) up my bum — desperately itching to go home.

Jodi Breakers
A fun, breezy comedy this could have been. But alas, for most parts Jodi Breakers ends up being a boring case of trying too hard to be everything but not quite reaching anywhere kind of a film.

Challo Driver
...it makes an attempt to gauge the pulse of today’s youth. However, once the movie sets into motion, the lack of acceleration in the screenplay wrecks the show.

Saare Jahaan Se Mehnga

Desi Kattey
When a film aims at offering violence wrapped around a love story, there’s the possibility of a conflict between the two. Often, violence is romanticised to the point that humane elements are eventually overlooked.

Dobaara
If the lack of logic still manages to scare you, this film, an apparent 'tribute' to its Hollywood counterparts, is surely worth your time. For the rest, watching the English version for a second time will be a wiser option.

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.

Shahrukh Bola Khoobsurat Hai Tu
After establishing the central characters, Makrand kind of loses his way in a myriad of peripheral subplots that really don't add anything to the pace or subject.
