Chitkabrey
Chitkabrey, which redefines cock-and-bull with gay abandon, is quite a test. Go for it only if you are a sucker for tedium.

Coolie No.1
...does not take into account that the world has changed since the David Dhawan-Govinda combo churned out hit after hit with their mad capers. The formula that yielded dividends all those years ago no longer does.

Policegiri
Everybody involved with this film deserves a break. The audience certainly does.

Yaariyan
...talks about a whole lot of other things – friendship, trust, patriotism, race attacks and tolerance – but makes no sense at all.

Welcome 2 Karachi
Indeed, not a shred of Welcome 2 Karachi, erstwhile Rohit Shetty assistant Ashish R Mohan's second film, is remotely welcoming.

...is unabashedly asinine and delivers anything but what the title promises.

Chalk N Duster
For intention, Chalk N Duster might get full marks, but the execution is so hopelessly ham-fisted that the film can only be described as an absolute botch-up.

Begum Jaan
...could well have been a film about a fantastic bunch of feisty, disparate women taking on all odds, but alas. We're left only with memories of some melancholy bores.

Bombairiya
...is a tangled mess, neither funny nor engaging. It's a comedy of errors all right - more errors than comedy. Be warned, don't even think of sitting through it. Torture isn't funny.

Joker
...is a crude joke of a film that will leave you in tears unless you have a stomach strong enough to digest such unmitigated junk.

Namaste England
...one more film of this quality and the careers of Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra could be in grave jeopardy.

Calendar Girls
Slapdash and sanctimonious, Calendar Girls is a stunner, but for all the wrong reasons. It is stunning in its sheer stupidity.

Shorgul
Explosive theme, damp-squib filmmaking: that, in a nutshell, is the story of Shorgul.

Manikarnika
...is agonizingly soulless. Platitudes piled upon synthetic platitudes do not add up to great cinema, especially when none of the film's war cries delivers any bang for its buck.

Ek Paheli Leela
The painfully pointless Ek Paheli Leela is a full-blown cinematic conundrum whose depth is inversely proportional to the geneorus decolletage that is on show.

Housefull 4
Only the very-easy-to-amuse moviegoers will find it funny enough to engage with its crazy, crass convolutions.

Zila Ghaziabad
The film unleashes such a merciless, ceaseless and mindless onslaught on the senses and the eardrums that it could actually put the assault rifles of the most trigger-happy of crime lords in the shade.

O Teri
The film, all 107 minutes of it, is a full frontal assault that gives the audience no options at all. The only emotion it arouses is disgust.

Jabariya Jodi
...a film that appears to have been made under duress by a group of people playing blind man's buff, is a big splotch of utter nonsense.

Singh Is Bliing
What is irretrievably amiss with the film is that nothing it says manages to drift anywhere near some degree of coherence.

Judwaa 2
...might work for those that don't mind being sold old trash in a new, garishly painted sack. For all others, it would be akin to being strapped to a seat in a torture chamber.

Baaghi 2
It is a long, painful film capable of giving audiences post-traumatic stress disorder.

Dunno Y Na Jaane Kyun...
The script, performances, dialogue and direction are so staggeringly inept that Dunno Y is an instant classic and the latest entrant to my list of so-bad-they-are-good films.

Gandhi To Hitler
...has the feel of a Z-grade quickie destined to be quickly consigned to the dustbins of movie history. The concept is hare-brained and the execution ham-handed and that’s putting it mildly.
