Ra.One
...manages to stumble and falter, in spite of all the crutches that it has been provided with.

Aazaan
Throughout the movie, Azaan is continuously told that he has Allah ka haath over him. If it fetches him a decent opening at the box-office, we will believe it.

My Friend Pinto
...a crazy, crazy movie. And crazy need not necessarily always be used in a good way.

Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge
If I were a student, I wouldn't mind bunking a few lectures to catch it again, with my campus friends I so miss now.

Rascals
No one has probably abused the term 'Kuch bhi chalta hai' as often as David Dhawan. Rascals is yet another example.

Love Breakups Zindagi
...there is a general warmth and camaraderie in the film, which can be infectious. Slightly cheesy, but sure to be liked by the romantics who still believe in 'happily ever after'.

Soundtrack
...the film is watchable for its starkly distinct narrative and stands out amidst the current crop of mindless comic capers and over-the-top action flicks.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster
A crackling script, fantastic direction and amazing performances, this movie almost deserves to be called a classic.

Hum Tum Shabana
A humble request to director Sagar Bellary of Bheja Fry fame - our bheja is fried enough let's not take any more chances!

Speedy Singhs
If you are looking for originality or anything deeper, this is not for you. Go for it only if you are looking for a light but forgettable watch.

Mausam
...hope Pankaj Kapoor directs another film soon, perhaps utilising those flashes of brilliance a little more. Next time, I hope he gives us more of those sensitive, romantic moments, instead of trying to encompass all that is happening around the world.

That Girl in Yellow Boots
...it is the climax of this film that stays with you long after you've stepped out of the theatre. A betrayal so big, that it stuns the boots off you, yellow or otherwise.

Bodyguard
He flexes his biceps, repeats mad dance moves, spouts whistle-deserving dialogues and yes, his shirt divorces his body once again. Predictable? Maybe, but who's complaining? Not bhaijan's fans for sure.

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.

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

Not A Love Story
The film has some nice moments, only if it was not spoilt by the jarring background score and oh yes, those designed to drive-you-up-the-wall camera movements.

Aarakshan
Given how extensively the film talks about the commercialisation of education, I think someone should take up the cause of commercialisation of inflammatory issues. While Jha has succeeded in garnering enough attention for Aarakshan as a result, he has failed to give this sensitive issue its due.

Chala Mussaddi - Office Office
The intention is right, but not nearly as engaging enough as the cult TV series to hold you down for those 100 odd minutes.

Singham
The treatment is shoddy, background music is outdated (in fact, I almost expected to hear dishoom dishoom like in the 80's during the fights), the dialogues are unbelievably tacky and generally the film is tiring.

Chillar Party
...a children's film so simplistic that it could have been very well made by a child. But then, I guess that's quite an achievement too in an industry where children's film generally means yet another moral lesson for the hapless kids.

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.
