Yamla Pagla Deewana
To enjoy the peculiarly Punjabi flavour of this film, you have to let go of little things like inhibitions.

Even though its narrative is predictable, this film is a well performed political satire.

Ferrari Ki Sawaari
Caught between two stories, a kiddie cricket fantasy and an adult automobile romance, the film doesn’t work.

Revolver Rani
A biting satire of political and media skullduggery that slides into B-movie parody mode.

So this is a film with expensive, but ultimately poor, production values. It is a multi-star movie, with actors trapped into delivering theatrical lines that make their personas unrecognisable. This is hugely disappointing.

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan
Finally, you leave the theatre without any imprint of the film in your mind. If it is a love story, who, exactly, was in love with whom?

OMG Oh My God!
Highly entertaining, this film is a refreshing demolition of India’s never-ending divinity.

Judgemental Hai Kya
So apart from the occasionally engaging antics of Kangana Ranaut in the lead role, the film ends up with little educative or entertainment value. This movie has a good cast, but ultimately disappoints.

The film is gripping enough for you to not realise its plot holes until the credits roll.

Inkaar
If only he had good performers, Sudhir Mishra’s formulaic narrative might have worked.

Total Dhamaal
...the movie plays to the gallery by placing each set of characters in preposterous and farcical gags. The sheer ludicrousness of the set-ups - involving air, land and water transport - gets a few laughs.

Ghanchakkar
There is nothing interesting about the conversation between the four people in this movie.

Ghanchakkar
A moving meditation on friendship that falls short in the acting department.

In truth, it is not much of a murder mystery, since you can predict the end by estimating the running time of the movie. When conclusive evidence is found to nail one of the suspects, and it seems to be all over bar the conviction, there is still 15 minutes to go.

Do Dooni Chaar
Niether is Do Dooni Chaar original, nor can it boast of engaging treatment, but for ambience, casting and performance, it is 'numero uno'.

...is deeply flawed in terms of ambience and production values. It is not a good-looking film. Yet, it has a curious content...

Singham Returns
With a shocker of a villain, this sequel barely matches the dynamism of Singham.

Andhadhun
...a thriller with not a single scary moment. ‘Andhadhun’ is wonderfully mounted, nicely cast and beautifully art directed, but not once do you grip your seat, sit back in horror, or cover your eyes.

Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji
Unlike a Bhandarkar movie, it has no memorable characters, no social commentary, and sadly, no big laughs either.
