Wazir
Vidhu Vinod Chopra who is happy to take credit for the original story, should have been merciless when writing the script which goes on and on in the second half explaining itself. Sometimes it is smarter to let the audience use its brains.

Judgemental Hai Kya
They treat the 'mental' part of the title as if they meant 'demented' instead. The result is that people laugh inappropriately at her 'madness', and your popcorn loses its pop because the film is tiresome.

The film has flashes of brilliance, but the tedious sequences go on for so long you think you have aged when you emerge out into the sunshine.

The Accidental Prime Minister
The film is shabbily made even though they get lots of cast to look like people in real life, and skims the events in Dr, Singh's work life. Is this a propaganda film?
