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

Kashmakash
...the entire dubbing effort detracts from the nuances and feel, making the conversations seem affected and halting. I'd have preferred to see the original Bangla version with Hindi subtitles.

Stanley Ka Dabba
A delightful yet moving film on the trifle of an idea, but why must a film with children has to always come with a message attached?

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.

I Am
Has something that most contemporary, uber-slick Bollywood flicks lack--quietude and calm. It's a world of thoughtful pauses than a furious pace.

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

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.

Turning 30
Why blatantly follow the Sex And The City template right down to the facile, inane voiceover?

No One Killed Jessica
Gupta has the onerous task of telling a story (Jessica Lall murder case) which most of his viewers would already know. Nonetheless, he manages to keep the familiar quite engaging.

No One Killed Jessica
There are some fine, stand-out moments. What detracts are some obvious filmi touches.

Band Baaja Baaraat
...what makes it special is that it feels delightfully real, is strongly rooted in contemporary Delhi middle class.

No Problem
...the characters, plot, gags, jokes, dialogues, just about nothing makes you smile, leave alone laugh. Besides, some significant scenes get uncomfortably racist and downright sexist.

Guzaarish
Bhansali's painterliness wreaks havoc on the subject. The visual excesses distract from the basic emotions. You don’t feel for the central character.

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

Knock Out
A ludicrous thriller which makes you laugh at its stupidities, plotholes and implausibilities.

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

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.

We Are Family
The regressive, "you can't be a good woman unless you are a good mom" ideology is difficult to buy.

Aashayein
Fails to measure up to what it is inspired from — the most famous 'death' film, Anand.

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

Peepli [Live]
Although it sags towards the end, Peepli Live is carried on the shoulders of its talented cast...
