Agent Vinod
Though there is an earnest attempt to make a thriller considering that the director (Sriram Raghavan) is known for this genre of films - Ek Hasina Thi and Johnny Gaddar-- this time the makers have tried to make a masala thriller stirring in too many ingredients making it difficult to digest.

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
This is very much "Bollywood", a style of storytelling that few if anyone understands better than director Karan Johar, whose EQ (emotional quotient) borders on genius levels, if you ask me.

Action Replayy
...the film doesn't connect with you because of the several liberties taken by the director on the script front. It almost seems like Vipul was so busy focusing on the look and feel that he overlooked the inconsistencies in the story.

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

ABCD - Any Body Can Dance
...a hit-and-miss venture. On the one hand, it is colourful, boisterous, full of enthusiasm but on the other, it is wobbly and unwieldy. Like a house of cards, ABCD stacks up well, but only up to a couple of levels.

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.

Give this life-affirming movie a chance. If you believe in hope, you'll like this one.

Aazaan
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.

...barring a few moments of thought-provoking drama, the film falls short and treads into the mundane.

A Gentleman
I miss the Raj & DK of Go, Goa, Gone, and their films where gags come flying your way fast and quick. There was a threadbare plot in that one too, but at least it was clever. This is just a snoozefest, all the way.

A Flying Jatt
I’m merely glad this is at least an attempt at big-screen entertainment aimed purely at kids. How many homegrown options do we have anyway? Most adults, I’m afraid, won’t give a flying duck.

A Flying Jatt
Staying true to its title, Flat is truly a flat attempt at raising a good scare.

A Decent Arrangement
What strikes one the most about A Decent Arrangement is its matter-of-fact tone and cool confidence with which the story is narrated — though the story in itself is nothing novel.

Internet is really where the scene for this film's genre is. Would I've happily caught this online? Yes. But the invitation is for the big screen? That's being thoda sa ambitious, I think.

The star is the director Shankar still. As a story-teller, you can tell, he could do with simplicity, and a better sense of proportion. As a filmmaker, he's sheer genius. Need better proof? Yes, you could catch 2.0.

...alas, for most part, Varman, much like a good schoolboy, sticks to the novel, without really adding his own creative inputs. Bhagat’s book is no classic to demand that kind of reverence.

The beauty of the film is that none of its pitfalls eventually matter. The movie wins you over with its innocence and simplicity.
