Baby
In the name of supposed 'realism', the film plays on and magnifies the popular perceptions about 'Islamic terror'.

B.A. Pass
Starts off rather well, but as the film progresses the treatment gets too ham-fisted.

Azhar
Seems like an attempt to narrate the player’s side of the story, finally exonerative, but with a happy ending.

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.

Aligarh
...an excellent film about every human being’s need and right to love and be loved.

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.

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.

Action Jackson
Cartoonish characters, mindless comedy...a blatantly chauvinistic wannabe blockbuster.

A string of spectacular dance set-pieces linked together by random scenes.

ABCD - Any Body Can Dance - 2
Fails to measure up to what it is inspired from — the most famous 'death' film, Anand.

ABCD - Any Body Can Dance - 2
Mainstream cinema has a way of simplifying the most complex of issues, but in that simplicity, it also manages to touch a chord, reach out and even initiate debate. Prakash Jha fails to do any of that with Aarakshan.

Ankhon Dekhi
...a film that moves, provokes, sets you thinking and questioning but doesn’t provide you any easy answers. But it does take you on an enriching journey within if you allow yourself to flow with its current.

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

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