Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai
...there is not enough dramatic tension which underlined the narratives of the ’70s and ’80s, no real big scenes to remember forever.

Khatta Meetha
Ample doses of over-the-top buffoonery and liberal sprinkling of double entendre. One of the most cringe-worthy films from Priyadarshan...

Udaan
It’s an outstanding criss-cross of relationships between three men about the house.

I Hate Luv Storys
It is full of endless chatter but the dialogue is inane and boring. So things get too stretched out and long-drawn.

Mr. Singh Mrs. Mehta
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.

Raavan
Fails to offer a persuasive portrayal of individuals and relationships, the largely ineffective acting making a further hash of an already tenuous narrative.

Kites
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.

Kites
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.

It's a Wonderful Afterlife
It’s anything but funny. There are hardly a couple of lines that bring the smile on.

Badmaash Company
Begins well, there are some nice moments, but the second half gets way too moralistic.

The Japanese Wife
...is engaging and emotive only in parts and not profound enough to linger on in your mind.

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

3 Idiots
...the film leaves you with a smile and warmth that last long after the film is over.

Aladin
Sandwiched in between is a boring love story of the shy Aladin (Ritesh), and Jasmine (Jacqueline, who fills in well as the smiling wallpaper). Aladin, like Drona and Love Story 2039, is ambition gone awry.
