Shagird
Nana Patekar fans will enjoy his purposefully eccentric, casually ruthless cop but honestly, it felt like deja vu to me.

Luv Ka The End
I walked out of the movie depressed. If this is really what the youth wants, we should be afraid, very afraid.

Haunted
...mist, screeching doors, books that fall by themselves and blaring background music that insists that you be scared. I was trying not to laugh out loud.

Chalo Dilli

Shor In The City
...a terrific film. It's surprising and disturbing and has a vein of rich, dark humor coursing through it.

Dum Maaro Dum
This is one film that should soar but sadly it never quite takes flight. The problem is the writing.

Teen Thay Bhai
...a film so bewildering and tonally inconsistent that as you watch, you can only wonder: what were these people smoking?

Game
There's lot of strutting and style and high-tech sleuthing. But there isn't a story that makes sense.

F.A.L.T.U

Tanu Weds Manu
Though the director picked up an interesting subject, he has not succeeded in executing his story effectively on screen - there are not enough laughs in the film.

Patiala House
It is an old-fashioned Hindi movie with big drama, solid dialogue-baazi and moments that are genuinely moving and rousing.

Yeh Saali Zindagi
The film is much too long, indulgent and exhausting but if you’re willing to work with it, there is considerable fun to be had.

Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji
...has an interesting story but the characters and situations aren't fleshed out enough. There is an inherent clumsiness and in places the film feels long and leaden.

Dhobi Ghat
...is an acquired taste. Either the film will sink into your skin like a slow ache or it will be bewildering and downright boring.

No One Killed Jessica
...is in places, powerful and moving. But it's also loud, simplistic and somewhat schizophrenic in tone

Tees Maar Khan
In Tees Maar Khan, everyone is overacting as though life depends on it. There is a lot of screaming, grimacing and heaving.

Rakht Charitra 2
Rakta Charitra 1 had an urgency that kept the narrative moving despite the clumsy voice-over and mind-numbing violence. The sequel has some powerful scenes but lacks cohesion.
