Super Nani
A preachy and mawkish drama about a woman neglected, scorned and tormented by her own oafish family, Super Nani makes its pro-women's empowerment statement with the finesse of a bulldozer run amok.

Happy New Year
There is no dearth of gloss in Happy New Year, but everything else in the film, including the content and its treatment, are allowed to go for a toss.

Sonali Cable
It is a very original and intelligent script, deftly edited and performed.

Tamanchey
A stodgy and aimless noir drama, it is a rusty gun that fires noisy blanks without making any impact at all.

Bang Bang!
...is strictly for Hrithik Roshan fans and for those that do not want an action flick to be anything more than just that.

Haider
With scintillating performances by almost all the actors and music which can give you goosebumps, Vishal Bhadwaj has literally created magic on screen.

Desi Kattey
...a surprisingly watchable, though at times stretched out beyond belief, yarn yoking crime and sports in a way that we haven't seen in any film.

Daawat-e-Ishq
...thanks to the likeable lead pair, the good-natured banter between them and the eventual intent of the film prevent Daawat-e-Ishq from slipping into total futility.

Mary Kom
The obviously questionable casting of Priyanka Chopra as the lead actress and the choice of the principal shooting locations are the least of the numerous glaring problems that mar first-time director Omung Kumar’s well-intentioned but excessively effusive Mary Kom.

Mardaani
Director Sarkar receives high quality assistance from his principal technicians, who combine to keep Mardaani simple and focused on its clearly delineated plot all the way through.

Singham Returns
...unfolds with relentless vehemence, the question that pops into mind is: who will fight for our freedom from the weekly assault of bad cinema? Don’t expect the film’s director and action designer Rohit Shetty to be of any help in this regard.

Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania
To be fair, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania does have some warm passages. But the overall package that it adds up to is about as appetizing as a bottle of beer gone flat.

Lekar Hum Deewana Dil
A tiresome tale of a pair of barely-out-of-their-teens lovers who elope before they are ready for the resultant ordeal, Lekar Hum Deewana Dil is a runaway mess.

Ek Villain
The biggest of the villains in Mohit Suri’s Ek Villain is the screenplay itself. It is as muddled as a serial killer’s twisted mind and just as destructive.

Humshakals
Even by the pitiable cinematic standards that the director has so defiantly set for himself, Humshakals is the very pits. It scrapes the bottom of a barrel that seems to have no bottom at all.

Fugly
The characters are poorly etched, the screenplay is insipid, and the performances, to say the least, are well below par.

Filmistaan
This quirky charmer from first-time director Nitin is fresh in vision and enchanting in execution.

Citylights
It is a film that shocks, provokes and seeks to prick our collective complacency and apathy. That obviously adds up to infinitely more value than the price of a multiplex ticket.
