Future To Bright Hai Ji
Its mediocre screenplay does the damage because of its aversion to take risk.

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.

All Is Well
This movie starts going consistently downhill from the first scene itself that you start wondering if the makers and the actors themselves gave up on making any sense, even while they were in the process of making it.

Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3
It is tragic that Bollywood sex comedies are still stuck in a pre-puberty stage and are still amusing itself with 'popat' jokes.

Indu Sarkar
While high on obvious propaganda, low on aesthetics, where Bhandarkar does well is to show the deep disdain the Indian state has for activists, its excessive censorship, the complete lack of an opposition in politics, and a relentless public campaign through events to suggest all's well, when it’s really not.

...you can't help but come up with conspiracy theories on how the filmmakers could've so horribly lost the plot.

Life Ki Toh Lag Gayi
...when you take on over-familiar subjects seen umpteen times on the big screen like Mumbai’s underworld; showbiz and the casting couch; the nexus between the cops and the politicians there is a sense of déjà vu.

Baaghi 3
Like he always does, Shroff makes it up with his action, but that too seems to be running out of steam.

The premise is promising. The cast is near perfect. Only if the movie was a lot more slick and a lot less tacky!

Gang of Ghosts
Satish Kaushik's direction seems as clueless as human beings are about after-life. After a point, everyone seems to be doing their own thing...

When peals of laughter fill the auditorium, it is clear that the chills are more amusing than hair-raising.

Ishk Actually
If the gist of the film was to spin a yarn around the pursuit of true love, then it surely missed the target by a mile.

Rock On 2
The soundtrack hardly lives up to the standards set by the first part. The script seems improvised.

Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se
Avoid this migraine-inducing massacre of a movie that is so unimpressive that even cinema legends can't save it.

Where do you go from there? Practically nowhere. The plot is pretty plain and simple.

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

Raaz Reboot
Sure, it’s predictable stuff. But that’s to do with the genre, which like mindless comedy, is fairly easy to judge or appreciate.

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…

The attempt to create a sense of urgency and intrigue are undermined by the lack of coherence.

Romeo Akbar Walter
The material is weak and sub plots unravel at their own sluggish pace, making you wonder if turning 30 is really that much of a big deal.

Bin Bulaye Baarati
The no-brainer was made purely for the aam janata of the hinterland. Dishing out any fare will do for them as long as there is naach gana along with risque humour, script, story, acting and everything else doesn't matter.

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.

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.

Jhootha Kahin Ka
...the film is it's snail-paced speed. We keep waiting for the story to take flight, but unfortunately it struggles to get a decent take off.

It is one thing to set out to make a gritty film in Banaras, but it is another thing to have enough discipline and a great script to pull it off.
