...may not be perfect but it doesn’t insult your intelligence like most Friday fare.

Happy Ending
...at its core, is pretentious and doesn’t quite live up to expectations, save for Govinda, who lights up the screen with his mere presence and those legendary moves.

Kill Dil
Seriously, even the on-going season of Bigg Boss has more meat than this half-cooked turkey of a script.

Rang Rasiya
...is not a consistent film, but one that tells a story of a pioneering artist and visionary, a story decidedly worth telling.

The Shaukeens
Whenever Akshay appears on screen, The Shaukeens transforms into another movie -- one that's substantially more comic, cheeky and winsome -- it's the one I enjoyed the most, it's the one I wished I had come to see.

Roar: Tigers Of The Sundarbans
Roar's strengths lie in the novelty of the concept and the judicious use of CGI. Sure, the special effects could have been better but compared to standards set by its contemporaries, Roar doesn't far badly.

Fireflies
...is one giant cesspool of sadness and agony that is ever expanding and will engulf any barely happy soul that it can get its hand on.

Happy New Year
This could have been a much better film if only it had dared to move out of its comfort zone. Happy New Year is a film that’s bound to make you feel good, but trust me, the feeling won’t last.

Sonali Cable
...disconnects itself from the point of the film incredibly fast, littering itself with one-note characters stuck in cinematic cliches.

Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami
Extraordinarily ordinary and proud of it, Ekkees Toppon ki Salaami reminds us of the important things in life in a highly consumerist world.

Tamanchey
No amount of catchy soundtrack, meticulous set design, or slick editing can save the film from the lofty, misplaced ambitions of the people entrusted with guiding it.

Bang Bang!
This is a stupid, stupid film trying to be slick, a B-grade film made on an A-list budget.

Haider
...a knockout, a film that makes you smell corpses, that makes you shudder with melancholia, and a film that points accusing fingers. A film that doesn't flinch.

Desi Kattey
What’s particularly daft about Desi Kattey -- an insipid mishmash of just about every script engaging two friends going separate ways meets underdog sports hero -- is how forced the events look.

Daawat-e-Ishq
...makes up for many of its cinematic imperfections and half-baked explorations with infectious charm, platefuls of it.

Khoobsurat
Some movies are like candy. Wrapped in bright plastic and frequently too sweet for your own good, they act as sunny, unsurprising treats that lead to sticky, syrupy smiles.

Finding Fanny
It gives us much, much to smile pleasantly at, to guffaw at, and one moment that will make the theatre gasp -- before it brings the house down.

I would have liked something much more than this mediocre account of a magnificent reality.

Raja Natwarlal
...far too unchallenging to its protagonists and too convenient to its writers -- doesn’t aim or offer greatness but certainly throws up a movie more watchable than most of the things crowding your local multiplex.

Katiyabaaz
The dark humour, infused by way of Loha Singh makes this often gritty and riveting documentary exceedingly entertaining.

Mardaani
If only the script weighed more in intensity of thoughts than stagy heroics and simplistic resolutions, it could do a lot more for women in the film industry if not society in general.
