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

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

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.

Chaalis Chauraasi
An exasperatingly extended introduction to utterly inane and colourless characters.

Always Kabhi Kabhi
A frothy high school romance with a message-in-the-bottle that could have been fun had it not been so exasperating.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Son Of Sardaar
A watch, if loud, mindless gags work for you. But how many more such comedies can we take?
