Murder 2
Sex, skin and gore: unfortunately, all it eventually adds up to is quite a big bore.

Murder 2
It’s really hard to keep up with the strangeness of the Mehtas and Singhs, the arbitrary things the plot makes them do and say, made even worse by the abysmal acting.

Miss Lovely
It peels the makeup off the glamour world, shows the ugliness, dirt, slime and debauchery on the periphery, however offensive it may be. It doesn’t aim to please.

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan
The story is evident in the title, so you expect other elements in the film to keep the interest going. Sadly there's almost nothing of it.

Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola
The irreverence, the impertinence, the subversion! Left my head in a delectable whirl.

Masaan
The director depicts the existential threats that plague daily lives of ordinary Indians and their unsung battle for survival.

Makkhi
Take the age-old reincarnation theme, add a dash of fantasy and sci-fi, with an implicit moral and you get a winsome film.

Main Tera Hero
Gets way too random and hit and miss. Doesn’t feel fresh enough and lacks the vital spark.

Madras Cafe
Not a political, ideological film so much as a thriller about a grand conspiracy.

M.S. Dhoni
...there aren’t many cinematic highs and lows in Dhoni’s life so far, which is why Neeraj Pandey is hard put to bring drama into a bland story.

Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana
An unsurprising story, but told with freshness, fun and loads of warmth.

Love Sex Aur Dhokha
...is remarkable in the way it experiments with the digicam to create a novel, audacious narrative.

Lootera
Has just the right construct of a classic but stops short of becoming one. And that's such a loss-there, yet not quite.

Listen... Amaya
Doesn’t do justice to the nostalgia that it merrily plays on. A rather limp, listless and protracted narrative.

Lafangey Parindey
Despite being "not too bad", it doesn't quite go beyond the lacklustre either.

Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum
A dull and dreary borefest rather than the laugh-a-minute sex comedy it aims to be.

Krrish 3
The film tries to raise the bar for Bollywood superhero films with its better-than-the-rest SFX and cinematography, but remains thoroughly clunky at heart. The content and characters, the story-telling and dialogue are tacky.

Krrish 3
A ludicrous thriller which makes you laugh at its stupidities, plotholes and implausibilities.

Krrish 3
A love story works if it can make the audience feel for the lovers. In Kites there is not an ounce of romance or passion. What is it that draws the two together? Where’s the pull, the tug? And what is it (family, caste, religion or their own inner demons) that keeps them apart? Nothing about the relationship is compelling enough.

Krrish 3
The film has a clean, expensive, glossy look. It’s well shot and edited. But none of that matters, since the plot is so contrived and it’s hard to empathise with any character.

Khiladi 786
What does one say of a comedy where you can laugh at precisely one moment?
