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

Gippi
...soon the designer exterior, in which the real emotions are ensconced, begins to get overbearing and irritating.

Gattu
No mawkish melodrama here; its sensitivity and a wry sense of humour bring the film alive. Unhurried and measured.

Gangs Of Wasseypur 2
Works on its ironic, cynical, wry path. But the minute emotions slip in, it flattens and turns filmi.

Gangs Of Wasseypur
Kashyap's most ambitious and accomplished - fantastic music, laughter, and spot-on dialogues

Game
...one of the most predictable, stupid thrillers, strewn with absurd red herrings and idiotic clues.

Gali Gali Chor Hai
Half-baked and slipshod, looks terribly dated and very loosely edited.

Finding Fanny
If the characters seem to come straight out of Mario Miranda cartoons, the telling seems to have taken a page out of Amelie...

Ferrari Ki Sawaari
Just doesn’t have enough fuel; too few laughs, too little spark. A limp script and a wholly forgettable soundtrack.

Fatso
Leaves you curiously unmoved and strangely untouched. It has the feel of a TV drama, not a big screen feature.

English Vinglish
Sometimes, good movies can be made on the trifles of life than on a big idea. Gauri Shinde has made one.

Ek Villain
A clumsy mess of a narrative loop—stories within stories and backstories within backstories, all leading nowhere.

Ek Tha Tiger
One confused film, but With Salman about, nothing seems to matter. So the Bhai tornado rolleth on.

Dum Laga Ke Haisha
...is a beautiful snapshot of this world, lost and yet not quite; it’s a piece of nostalgia wrapped up in the actual.

Drishyam
It’s the cat ’n mouse games, twist in the tale and the final revelation that are the stuff of collective audience sighs. That too only if you are watching it for the first time.

Drishyam
The trademark, heavy-lidded intensity of Ajay’s Vijay is too casual and throwaway instead of powerful and impassioned.

Do Dooni Chaar
...a self-assured directorial debut, a fine slice of Delhi life, despite being marred by a muddled ending.

Dil Dhadakne Do
The instant connect of a Honeymoon Travels Private Limited, however, goes amiss.

Dil Dhadakne Do
Zoya makes it pretty clear that her heart beats for women and for overhauling gender roles and expectations.

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

Dhobi Ghat
A rare Indian film which has the feel of European and other Asian cinemas, and yet is firmly grounded in the realities of Mumbai.

Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!
Dibakar tries to pack in too much even in terms of cinematic references—from classic Hollywood to noir, to Ritchie and Tarantino and Chinese action flicks. The constant shift in tonality jars, especially in the over-the-top melodrama of a climax.

Delhi Belly
It could get very discomfiting and disconcerting for some, but for this reviewer it was a merry lark of a film, the most entertaining in 2011 thus far.

Dedh Ishqiya
Chaubey’s caper scores with its delectable atmosphere, seeped in culture and music. It’s a world of paan, poetry and protocol, of erudition and affectations. Rarely has crime been served so sodden in nostalgia.

Bejoy Nambiar’s film could have been an intriguing exploration of the vagaries of fate and fortune. But, unfortunately, as with most films released this week, it falls short of its inherent possibilities.
