It's a Wonderful Afterlife
...is one of those films that should not have happened. It is way too strained in concept and far too outlandish in execution.

Chhodo Kal Ki Baatein

Welcome 2 Karachi
...you get a painfully stretched, horribly repetitive and only fitfully (very fitfully) funny adventure comedy that has no idea where its mind is. Or its heart.

Freaky Ali
The story starts out to be great fun, but it becomes so repetitive in the middle that even the jokes are a drag and then dragged down by Bollywoodisation of the story...

Toilet
...is this film any more than the filmmakers genuflecting to the government? Paying deep obeisance to the Swacch Bharat Abhiyan (Clean India campaign)? That sort of stinks, methinks.

Sanju
This is a work of fiction masquerading as a biopic. And Rajkumar Hirani may have violins standing by to manipulate emotions, and he has Ranbir Kapoor mimicking Sanjay Dutt's mannerisms, but the movie remains a vanilla version of a life full of violence induced by drugs, guns, bad company and women.

Rabba Main Kya Karoon
...had ample scope to dole out hilarious gags but it fails in the hands of a disappointing filmmaker.

Aisa Yeh Jahaan
...did have promise. It has a heart too. But that's rarely enough. Not in this case. Bora's debut film falls short of possibilities by quite a margin.

Saala Khadoos
The movie deserves praise for sticking to the sports underdog-movie formula and offering us a decent watch. But the predictability of the story makes its 109 minutes feel like three hours.

Why Cheat India
The film tackles the problem of rampant cheating in these exams but it gets so preachy about a failing system and talks so much, you cannot help but yawn...

Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai
Don't expect to be swept off your feet. This one is meant to tickle your fancy. And it doesn't fall short.

Babloo Happy Hai
...could have been much simpler and better film, one capable of touching your heart. Instead it ends up as a classic example of a director gone wrong in his attempt to bridge the gap between social and commercial themes.

Chance Pe Dance
The writing throughout is outdated and the execution very poor. Plenty of cinematic liberties are taken which just doesn't go too well with the film...

Bhindi Baazaar Inc.
...a half-baked product. Had it been for a water-tight screenplay and a sensible storyline Bhindi Bazaar Inc could've been much better.

Aurangzeb
...a cliched formulaic drama straight out of the '70s era that fails to impress the audience.

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo
Should you watch the film? The question you need to ask is "Are you a Salman Khan fan?"

Sarbjit
...is a brave attempt, but the treatment is so melodramatic and so shrill, you come away with a heavy aching head, instead of a heavy heart at the tragedy of the peoples from both sides of the border.

Sanam Teri Kasam
It is a decent story that only fails because at 154 minutes, the end is so long drawn.

Manikarnika
The trouble is, they try to Bollywoodise it. There's so much glamour and chest thumping patriotism that unwittingly the audience begins to discover flaws.

Coolie No.1
...it is a film typical of the 1990s Hindi cinema. David Dhawan has a knack for comedy, but with these serial remakes of his comedy classics, he has only overstayed his welcome.
