Chor Chor Super Chor
...while not living up to the potential of its quirky idea, does offer laughs -- either because of actor, line or the stray scene.

Luv U Soniyo
...you may like Luv U Soniyo more for its comedy than the romance. It’s all very predictable and sort of lame in some areas.

Nasha
The ‘erotic’ love story belongs to the film’s teeny boppers, especially Sahil, whose innocence, infatuation and vulnerability keeps you glued to your seat for the two hours it lasts.

D-Day
...is what people like me wait Friday after Friday for. It does what it needs to and does not preach but leaves an impact strong enough to make you ask questions. It manages to bring out patriotism in you without the theatrics.

Sixteen
...is clearly an adult perspective masquerading as a teenage perspective on the lives of teenagers who are trying to be adults.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
...this indecision to project Bhaag Milkha Bhaag as either a) a man dealing with the painful memories of his childhood in partition era, b) the blossoming of a happy-go-lucky army man into a superstar athlete or c) why an individual doesn't want to visit Pakistan overlaps too often in this three-hour plus, flashback-within-flashback drama to ruin a potentially promising premise.

Policegiri
Plots with threadbare logic rely too much on larger-than-life heroics to draw its target audience in. But none of Dutt’s swagger is blustering enough to put up with a film as deafening, dowdy and drudging as Policegiri.

Lootera
...a gorgeous, gorgeous film, one that uses its period setting affectionately, with loving detail, and not exploitatively, as our cinema is wont to do.

Ghanchakkar
...builds up and builds up and builds up magnificently before collapsing in a bloody silly heap.

Raanjhanaa
...isn't easy viewing but works thanks to Dhanush's powerful performance and A R Rahman's score.

Yamla Pagla Deewana 2
Other than its amateurish logic and moronic action, the screen is devoid of any chemistry or vigour in its wit.

Zindagi 50-50
...makes a brave but half-hearted effort to depict the dark cruelty that surrounds ordinary lives of three women. It fails miserably as sleaze -- of language as well as skin -- overtakes the proceedings.

Ishkq In Paris
...a bad film brought further down by a bunch of Bollywood cliches and a fading Preity Zinta.

Shootout At Wadala
Instead of this self-indulgent gore-fest, we would have appreciated a little more focus on the gangsters' psyche.

Mere Dad Ki Maruti
It’s a ride, a goofy, forgettable ride. One that throws up a debutant director with promise and actors who deserve to be in more films.
