Love U...Mr. Kalakaar!
Like so many recent Rajshri films, any conflict or provocation mildly difficult to solve is scrubbed away, resulting in a sanitized script. It's all just so easy, makes you wonder what sort of cocoon the Barjatyas lead their charmed lives in.

Love Sonia
In his directorial debut, Tabrez Noorani is so consumed in narrating the dangerous reality of survivors of sex trafficking that he ignores the fact that he has to also engage audiences with his characters — for them to actually feel their plight.

Lootera
As much as I'd like to reward Lootera for it's craft I firmly believe that films can only win you over with the ability to tell a story. And this is where Lootera falters.

Loot
...corrupted beyond recognition by some pedestrian writing entirely dependent on puns, the absolute absence of logic, and some lethargic acting.

Lipstick Under My Burkha
The film explores India's twisted relationship with intercourse. Patriarchy defines it as a male need delivered by a female who can barely voice whether the act evokes pain or pleasure. And it is this voice that the film deliberates while referring to 'sapne' and how Indian women can't dare to see them.

Life Ki Toh Lag Gayi
Despite its indie-feel and a whiff of originality, Life Ki Toh Lag Gayi fails to deliver on most counts.

Life Is Beautiful
The plot, though unoriginal about an Indian man trying to procure Canadian citizenship by entering into a marriage of convenience is the only aspect that remotely makes sense.

...attempts a stand on domestic violence. Unfortunately, it can barely sit up as a film. And as for the audience, they'll be flat on their backs by the end of it.

It makes you cringe for important reasons though, and must be watched for its relentless pursuit of relevance and authenticity.

Production design is smart, dialogues clever and cinematography sparkling, but the story never takes off and characters never connect.

Ladies VS Ricky Bahl
Sharma's film mirrors the chemistry between Ranveer and Anushka: faux, unconvincing, slapdash and hurried.

Laali Ki Shaadi Mein Laddoo Deewana
But it’s not just the plot, even the execution is below average and the cinematography leaves much to be desired.

Laal Kaptaan
It’s debatable whether this story could be told in a more compelling manner or not. But it’s surely one that didn’t warrant the runtime (155 minutes) and the action scenes could’ve used some aesthetic flourishes.

Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum
There are sex comedies. Then there are bad sex comedies. Then there is just bad. And then finally - right at the bottom of this pile - there is KSKHH.

Kuchh Bheege Alfaaz
The film’s story has barely much to offer but Onir carefully crafts emotionally-charged sequences that keep you interested and curious about the proceedings — even while the end is predictable.

Kuch Kuch Locha Hai
Before another male director has Leone play a nurse so that innuendos revolve around body exams and instruments, I suggest a blanket ban on bananas and Indian sex comedies.
