Student Of The Year 2
This is brainlessly breezy fare wrapped in gloss that wears off quickly. It is sad to see such silly stuff being palmed off as teen entertainment.

Bol Bachchan
...is a comedy so absurd that it could reduce you to tears of despair. Conversely, if you have the stomach for such rampant silliness, it might propel you into paroxysms of delight. The call is entirely yours.

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.

Teraa Surroor
...is pretty much like Himesh’s singing: it’s a drone that gets grating after a point.

Ujda Chaman
If the boorish behaviour of the young and restless is for the purpose of dramatization, it does not work one bit. It robs Ujda Chaman of any possibility of being realistic and relatable - and, of course, of every driblet of decency.

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.

Veerappan
...does not shy away from making a great deal of noise, but the film is more akin to soggy gelatin sticks delivering a damp squib than a big explosive device triggering an earth-shattering bang.

Ghayal Once Again
...looks every inch like a film that has arrived at least 25 years too late even though it does reflect the undeniable fact that corruption is still a way of life in this country.

Vishwaroop II
It repeatedly fires blanks - noisy but of no use. Has a movie sequel ever been so pointless?

F.A.L.T.U
...the film is so staggeringly moronic that you walk out completely exhausted.

Ramaiya Vastavaiya
Watch Ramaiya Vastavaiya only if you have the stomach for unbridled lunacy.

Crazy Cukkad Family
It does have its moments. But the laboured humour and the emotions that underline it get so corny at times that it comes pretty close to flying off the rails.

Housefull 3
...mindless tale, often hitting dead-ends from where there can be no return to sanity.

Ab Tak Chhappan 2
...peddles old wine in what clearly looks like a bottle recycled without much imagination.

Aiyaary
...wants to be a daring thriller that calls out smarmy politicians and arms dealers. But it only fires blanks.

Saaho
...may, like so many other shrill, gory actioners of the recent past, end up make pots of money. But that will not take away from the fact that it is egregiously turgid.

Teen Patti
...is a train-wreck of a movie. It's incoherent, lengthy and worst of all, agonisingly pretentious.

The Shaukeens
This film is a disaster all right, but it is mitigated somewhat by a quirky if uneven subplot that has Akshay playing himself and poking constant fun at the work that he has done thus far as a Bollywood actor.

Gabbar Is Back
Clearly, nobody put the makers of this film through the paces. They might have then known how to make the best of their limited cinematic resources and craft something less mucky.

Commando 2
It's a lot of sound and fury that's not worth your money, hard-earned or otherwise.

Junglee
It would of course be too much to expect subtlety and other niceties from a turgid movie that cannot even do justice to the pack of pachyderms that it employs in order to acquire heft.

Saat Uchhakkey
...is far too undercooked a broth to pass for what it wants to be - a zany, off-the-beaten-track entertainer.

Dirty Politics
...a messy affair that reeks of all-round mediocrity despite the presence in the cast of actors of the calibre of Om Puri and Naseeruddin Shah.
