Mirch
...is not spicy enough, specially since it’s from the land of Kamasutra, but considering our blinkered approach to sex, it's a welcome effort and definitely worth seeing.

No Problem
...is full of problems, without any semblance of a story or script or direction, but that would be stating the obvious.

Band Baaja Baaraat

Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey
While the story is fabulous, KHJJS suffers majorly in its direction. The dialogues are stilted and wordy, the screenplay is needlessly repetitive and laborious, the music is average and the background score is poor.

Allah Ke Banday
...makes an interesting start, then rapidly descends into the usual mix of guns and goons, each more bloody and violent than the other.

Break Ke Baad
...is soulful in bits, but the shabby story never ever takes off, while the direction remains average. In the end Break Ke Baad stays a pretty but boring film.

Shahrukh Bola Khoobsurat Hai Tu
Since the main plot is wafer-thin, the director jumps to the sub-plot once too often leaving the viewer aggravated.

Guzaarish
The beauty of the film lies in its ability to throw light on a morbid subject, compelling the viewer to fall back in love with life.

Golmaal 3
...is pretty much what it promises to be a silly comedy, idiotic enough to be enjoyed by all age groups with low entertainment expectations and high stress levels.

Rakht Charitra – I
By the end of the film, the voice over has become irritating and the violence nauseating, with everything blurring bloodily.

Jhootha Hi Sahi
...a too clever by half attempt at telling a cool, nerdy story which falls flat on its face. The clumsy film is stuffed with cardboard characters, silly set ups with corny insider jokes and a sagging story line which is stretched right from the word go.

Knock Out
...shamelessly steals the main idea, then adds its own bunch of brainwaves, ending up with a strange pastiche.

Anjaana Anjaani
...a film full of set up situations without a real story to tell, and ends up as a slow, dragging and painful experience.

Dabangg
Though the story is a pure mishmash right out of the potboiler films of the 70s, it's styled and spoken with today's hip attitude. Dabangg is chavanni chhap entertainment, easy to ridicule but toughest to create.

Emotional Atyachar : The Film
Though the overall production values are low, what saves the film is the sharp, non-linear story and a range of ensemble actors.

We Are Family
...has a weepy, forced, set-like air about it, with poorly translated dialogue and pre-packaged situations.

Aashayein
...has to be one of the most depressing, incoherent films since a long sadiyan.

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