Global Baba
The film is hilarious, and the movie they are making within it even more so. It's an alien adventure with cheesy lines, silly plot points, and low production value.

Jai Gangaajal
Prakash Jha before the camera has an undoubtedly better run in Jai Gangaajal than Prakash Jha behind the camera.

Zubaan
...is a film that does a lot of posing and posturing, but lacks focus to be taken as a serious narrative.

Tere Bin Laden Dead Or Alive
The film sets the premise and labours in detailing every sequence, but somehow it doesn't add up.

Aligarh
It's a film of many firsts. And given how most Hindi movies caricature homosexuals, this one is a reality check.

Neerja
If you've read about the real events that have inspired this film, you know how it will fold up. But even so, this one scores for managing to pack in a few surprises.

Ishq Forever
If you're keen on exploring parts of South Africa, off the B'wood map, this one's for you. But that's just one reason.

Sanam Teri Kasam
For the leads, Mawra Hocane and Harshvardhan Rane, this inglorious B'wood debut will be an impossible blot to erase.

Ghayal Once Again
...if you're a Sunny Deol fanboy, this one ticks all: lung-tearing screams and crushing punches.

Saala Khadoos
Kongara is conservative with her choices and consequently, the result is stereotypical.

Mastizaade
...this material is credited to Mushtaq Sheikh and Milap Zaveri — two people who should be fined for owning a pen.

Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3
...a series of juvenile jokes, mostly dated, fried in fresh batter, with the better ones given away in the trailer.

Airlift
...director Raja Krishna Menon takes on this challenge of turning a story known to all into a compelling watch and pens a nail-biting plot that will keep you fearful, hopeful and yet, unsure and uncomfortable.

Jugni
If you need a reason to watch this film, it would be for the music and to take in rural Punjab like you've never seen in films before.

Chhota Bheem Himalayan Adventure
Indian animae has been criticized for subscribing to a certain mould. A type that dismisses the need to detail out finer character attributes or attempt infusing them with any distinct expression. Watching this film doesn't alter this perception much.

Chauranga
A pure festival film in treatment and manner of storytelling, it scores for allowing the audience join the dots and doesn't care to simplify or sanitize the proceedings for universal appeal.

Wazir
Chess is considered the most complex board game and one that provides mental stimulation; this film is neither complex nor stimulating. At best, it's a series of predictable ploys strung together with the backdrop of a revenge drama.

Bajirao Mastani
...the cinematic liberties that Bhansali takes to colour the Maratha warrior and his controversial choice of partner, makes this an intense drama with distractingly sharp photography.

Dilwale
...to take them (SRK and Kajol) for granted and expect that their mere presence would negate the need for a story, screenplay or any other element that makes a film, scripts Dilwale's doom.

Hate Story 3
There are films you love and those you hate. This one falls in the third, the ones you'd love to hate.

Angry Indian Goddesses
AIG's selling point is the honesty with which the leading women approach their characters and the uncontainable chutzpah they exude.

X: Past is Present
The film may be called X: Past is Present, but it surely promises a headache in the immediate future.

Charlie Kay Chakkar Mein
Perhaps imagined as an engaging thriller, the acting school performances marginalise the story which would've read like a tale of breakthrough twists on paper.

The film saves a major twist for the end, but that is, if you can survive it till then.
