Raman Raghav 2.0
...it’s a difficult film to watch, not entertaining or edifying in any way.

Shagird
Nana Patekar plays to the gallery and brings a smile to the audience's faces but the movie soon turns into gimmickry than fun.

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.

Dabangg
The film held the promise of churning the masalas to the core but stops well short of it. The real film itself has little more to offer than its own trailer.

Murder 3
Every member of the cast hams much too much and tries hard at seeming mysterious.

Agent Vinod
There is an incredible urge to run a fine comb through Agent Vinod, to straighten the several strands, trajectories, characters, locations that end up as one big clutter in the mind’s eye.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan
Way too old-fashioned for comfort, riddled with absurd twists: it's abrupt, hurried and awkward.

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

Raaz 3
Bad music, corny lines and some unintentionally funny moments come together rather well. It is unrelentingly creepy.

Bol Bachchan
Seeks inspiration from the classic but suffers from tacky sets, over-the-top acting and loud jokes and gags.

I Me Aur Main
Things remain utterly dull, uninspiring and don’t get engaging. It’s badly cast - the actors just don’t measure up.

Hawaa Hawaai
Despite all the good intentions, the film wallows in its goodness and left me cold by its sheer virtue.

404
The movie grips you but gets plodding in the middle with its convoluted yet simplistic discussions.

Housefull 2
Beyond the loud slapstick, it does have interesting situational humour but it gets more kiddish than genuinely mad.
Apr 2012
-
Singham
The tone is uniformally over-the-top—loud dialogue and acting, shrill jokes, dazzling colours, kitschy sets and costumes and stylised choreography.

Children Of War
...an unforgiving film that is a strong reminder that horrors of history never leave us.

Gori Tere Pyaar Mein
Strikes a hugely wrong note by trying to be self-righteous at a time when sanctimony is under attack.

Pyaar Ka Punchnama
The first half is quite a laugh riot, but the narrative gets too scattered in the second.

Dhoom 3
Street food gone hopelessly bland, a papdi chaat that tastes more like cold porridge.

Jhootha Hi Sahi
Startlingly flaccid and boring. Instead of making you feel for the characters, it leaves you disengaged and disinterested.
Oct 2010

I Am Kalam
A straight, simple story with no great highs and lows and an easy resolution.
Aug 2011

Cocktail
...feels like two different films. Pre-interval, it could have snatched 3 stars, but the post-interval bit spoils the show entirely.

Tevar
Despite its occasional flourishes and a basic competence of craft, you end up taking very little back home.
