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

Ittefaq
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.

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?

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.

Tevar
There isn’t much to take home from this film’s cut-and-dried plot except one man’s performance.

Jazbaa
With a paper-thin plot about a kidnapped child, this movie is pretty directionless.

Banjo
...is a sincere and well intentioned film that has some watchable sequences, but fails eventually, as the sum of its parts just don't add up.

The Body
...must easily rank as the dullest film Emraan Hashmi, otherwise a lively actor, has ever acted in.

Bol Bachchan
If you lower your taste several notches, you might find this slapstick film funny.

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.

Ghayal Once Again
This movie is set in the Mumbai of today, but has an attitude that is frozen in time.

Kaalakaandi
The film is funny in specific contexts, but, overall, the interlinked stories pass no real comment on the quality of life in this heterogenous metropolis. The movie drifts along nicely, until you get a little tired, and wish that it all leads to a quick and rousing conclusion.

De De Pyaar De
...does have a few funny moments, but its lens is locked at the fixed perspective of the entertainment that can be milked from the classic older man syndrome. In truth it is a movie without a modicum of the intelligence and sensitivity required to treat the subject seriously, and so, maybe, it is a good thing that it didn’t.

Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan
This is an amusing film, in parts, but it is not, by any stretch of imagination, a ground breaking work on Gay love.

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
A film as rootless and rife with loose ends as the pretty people in it.

Housefull 4
You don’t believe that grown men, and the women who accompany them, could find this funny, but they do.

Dabangg 3
The characteristic style of the franchise disintegrates, until the narrative implodes in a messy trail of unbelievable plot turns and disjunctive scenes.

Jism - 2
Sunny Leone is sexy alright, but this film is about as erotic as a Disney animation feature.

R... Rajkumar
The cool tapori act works for Salman but Shahid doesn’t have the panache to pull it off.

The Xpose
A lousy script, poor direction and pretentious settings render this movie a letdown.
