Creature
This film keeps you engaged alright. During its two-hour plus period, it makes you snigger, snort, laugh out loud at the unintentional humour and makes you gasp with disbelief at the absurdity of it all.

Mirzya
Beneath all the brooding intensity, contrived conversations in hushed tones, and giant splendour of this picture, there lurks such strange hollowness in this movie that you are unsure whether there was ever a script at all to be executed in the first place.

Rajjo
Tacky treatment, dialogues filled with colouful language, and a story that belies its moral bankruptcy for the sake of tititllation, this film is cringe worthy experience.

Roar: Tigers Of The Sundarbans
...the journey to get the message is too slippery and full of loopholes. However, if you’re looking for a series of inadvertent laughs, then you’ll do just fine.

Machine
Attention has been paid to exotic locations, fancy costumes and aerial cinematography, with scant regard to the plot. The wafer-thin story crumbles in 'Machine'.

Nanu Ki Jaanu
Sad. Very sad-chiefly for the super-fine, and now ironically an under-rated actor, at the centre of it all.

The Accidental Prime Minister
If at all the idea was to shame and embarrass the Congress party, the writing here lacks the desired punch. The onus of shaping the material lies in the hands of the director, and Vijay Gutte is visibly inept.

Half Girlfriend
The film lacks two essentials. First, there is no visible chemistry between the leading actors. Their journey of falling in love is cut rather abruptly. Second, the love story isn't palpable enough.

...at the end of a couple of hours (in this case, mercifully, only an hour and 40 minutes), these films are really like political elections. The quality of parties and candidates doesn’t matter. What does is, who won. Or, if it was a box-office success. Which, for the first time, we will never know.

Kaalo
The film does not scare at all though it has been touted as the first-ever day horror film.

Ajab Gazabb Love
Going back to the very motive behind this film, entertainment can apparently afford to be senseless. At least that’s what the makers of this rather avoidable movie believe in.

The Attacks Of 26/11
This subject needed reflection, discretion, and introspection. Instead, The Attacks of 26/11 wallows in unnecessary melodrama and jingoism proving to be a great disservice to everyone who suffered from it.

Badmashiyaan
One consistent thought that you get while enduring this immature, supposedly funny, too clever for its own good film is ‘what the hell is happening?’ and that thought stays with you even after it’s over.

Kaagaz Ke Fools
Well, if nothing, the film makes us painfully aware of the difference between a phool and a fool.

An unfortunate case of 'too little too late' the film is a lost cause on every front.

With Love Delhi
The narrative style invariably invokes forgettable childhood memories of the UGC designed classroom sessions telecast on TV for years together. This misadventure into a field that requires more than just staid intelligence is clearly something the filmmakers will have to study and analyse at length.

Shortcut Romeo
Except for few moments - in fact, very few - this purported thriller is way off the target.

Zanjeer
Director Apoorva Lakhia uses his special talent to make this remake as crass as possible, turning it into a pedestrian, B-grade version of the original classic.

...almost every single cinematic aspect bears the trademark Priyadarshan stamp. In other words, sloppiness runs wild in the guise of entertainment.

Kucch Luv Jaisaa
The premise of the story is interesting: what happens when a woman in a safe but loveless marriage meets an exciting and reckless criminal. Sadly, that's about it.
