Bubble Gum
The problem is that here is a film that serves up nostalgia for adults, yet a major portion of this movie is designed for kids. It is in this quest for fine balance that Bubble Gum finds itself overreaching and falls short.

Khap
...a film that looks like the mangled matrimony of Moulin Rouge and Peepli Live. Both dreadful versions of. To think that this is what was intended from the very start: mass entertainer meets issue-based film is ludicrous.

Singham
This is supposed to be a masala film. But correct me if am wrong, the oregano must go on the pizza or are you going to snort it straight from the sachet?

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
...is thirty minutes too long, predictable, and is nowhere near as good as Zoya Akhtar's debut film. But it is gorgeous looking and has some noteworthy moments...

Chillar Party
...deserves high rating because it is a simple story that children will enjoy.

Murder 2
...isn't quite as bold as it makes itself out to be. There is kissing, but the sex is tame and wholly unnecessary to the plot. There is blood, but it'll hardly make you flinch.

Bbuddah...Hoga Terra Baap
...is strictly for hardcore Amitabh Bachchan fans and not so much for fans of films.

Delhi Belly
It's a film so irreverent, so unapologetic, it'd be surprising if it didn't go on to become cult.

Double Dhamaal
There is no semblance of logic and every situation is conveniently set up to maximise the grating 'comedy'.

Bhindi Baazaar Inc.
At the end you're left with a film that started off as a decent idea but went on to become an untidy mess...

Always Kabhi Kabhi
It's hard to make any kind of connection with Always Kabhi Kabhi, no matter if you're a teenager or the parent of one, let alone everyone else.

Bheja Fry 2
...is half the fun of the first installment, despite the film’s canvas being significantly bigger.

Love Express
...is proof that film schools can teach you the craft but not necessarily the art of filmmaking.

Shaitan
For its visual style, sheer energy, and the trip that it is, Shaitan is recommended viewing.

Ready
When stars the size of Salman use such self-deprecating context-less humour, there is little chance of the audience not empathising.

Kucch Luv Jaisaa
How did this film with two very talented actors and an interesting concept to begin with go so awry?

Pyaar Ka Punchnama
...most guys between 18-40 are going to identify with PKP at some level and love it. On the other hand most girls will strive to delude themselves that they are nothing like any of the characters.

404
...a genuine attempt, ambitious in its aspiration but falling short on a few counts.

Ragini MMS
Props for the lead actors, who give their best, but are undone by an inept director

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.

Shagird
If only Shagird was a little more polished in all departments, it could very well claim to be the desi version of The Departed.
