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.

Jhootha Kahin Ka
Replete with inane humour, the movie barely inspires a chuckle. Apparently, an assortment of stereotypical characters, a dash of one-liners and songs thrown in at regular intervals is enough to make a film today.

Jayanta Bhai Ki Luv Story
An assortment of gangsters along with some bizarre turns in the tale makes this Jayantabhai’s love story hard to digest.

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.

Haseena Parkar
Besides being an utterly exhausting watch, it is dull and completely devoid of perspective.

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.

The Tashkent Files
...this is the sort of know-all, grand con-spiracy theory picture - regurgitating catch-phrases like "presstitutes", "Lutyens Delhi," "fake news" - that emanates from a world-view wholly derived from spending far too much time on social media.

Pagalpanti
Actors participating in such comedies usually say in interviews and write on social media how their films are not for critics and request the audiences to leave their brains at home. I did exactly that, didn't apply any logic or brain, all I desired was laughter... where's that? Whom should I talk to now?

Baankey Ki Crazy Baraat
On the whole, the experience of watching Baankey Ki Crazy Baraat is like attending a lavish wedding feast, but ending up with indigestion.

Kedarnath
Practically all top stars from the '90s have at some point owed their stardom to a similar super-hit. Maybe that's the intention here. Wonder if this stuff still works in the front benches; forget the few highfalutin film-buffs.

Street Dancer 3D
Why are filmmakers so severely obsessed with stuffing their films with gratuitous melodrama and messaging when they already have enough material on display?

Teri Meri Kahaani
Whatever prompted or inspired this so-called 'thrice upon love story'? It is replete with run-of-the-mill ideas that we have seen since decades in Hindi filmdom.

Zila Ghaziabad
Dialogue ke upar dialogue, dhisoom ke upar dhishoom, dead body ke upar dead body, khoon ka badla khoon.

...for a film that looks good, but has such little material to justify its screen time — besides a couple of decent songs alone.

Blood Money
Only if you have time to kill on hand and want to escape the seething heat outside, step into the AC environ for this sparkless fare.

One By Two
Interesting premise, but then that’s about it. From the first scene onwards, the story, direction and dialogues go on a downward spiral. Thirty minutes into the film, and you start thinking of all that you could have done with those precious two hours.

Dulha Mil Gaya
Despite the visual goof-ups and coherent flaws, the real villain of the film is the lazy and uninspired script, corny dialogues and ridiculous twists.

Bajatey Raho
The film has a 12-year-old role-playing the head of a catering business in one scene. I suspect the same was done with the direction of this movie too…

Pati Patni Aur Woh
...a whole lot of random desi-lad humour, in what's essentially a naughty-uncle comedy about the wife, and woh (the other woman). Couldn't find anything funny here. Surely this sort of stuff has an audience. Hope the film finds it then.

Pappu Can't Dance Saala
I don't know if Pappu can dance, but surely Pathak can do far better than playing the same kind of role again and again and ruin our evenings, and perhaps also his career in the process.
