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.

Ghanchakkar
...is all very well as it flags off, but it's mostly downhill after it hits its high point in the first fifteen minutes.

Enemmy
...had some potential as a thriller of with a Rashommon-esque touch as it entirely revolves a single key incident and has three parties trying to figure it out. But it fails, ultimately, to showcase its strengths.

Shortcut Romeo
The film tries so hard to be slick, you wonder that if it was shot in a realistic manner with real characters, it'd might have worked. Instead the movie is replete with pathetic production values.

Ishkq In Paris

Go Goa Gone

Murder 3
It is supposed to be a story about the consequences of mistrust and jealousy, it turns out instead being a simplistic, plot-driven B-movie that depends much too heavily on a single twist.
