Memories in March
...could have been a nice li'l gem. It's a tragedy that it limits itself to mediocrity.

Mr. X
At a time when even television is doling out superheroes worth binging on, taking Bhatt’s boring, fluky, one-trick Mr X seriously is out of question.

Mirzya
Neither this intense-because-we-say-it-is romance running through the film or the soft-focus-myth is actually interesting, and -- shorn of love, or moments -- Mehra's film begins to grate quite early on.

Ishqedarriyaan
The trouble with Ishqedarriyaan is that it isn't even bad enough to be good. It's just plain old dull.

Coffee With D
...does not have a bad plot but it could do with a better on-screen translation. What lets down the film is the way it is executed and shot. The film's music and dubbing too are disappointing.

Mr. Bhatti On Chutti
I wish I could tell you more about this one. If only I'd been awake...

Flight
Besides Mohit Chadda and a potentially great concept, Flight has barely anything that is worthy of a watch.

Tees Maar Khan
Every actor, every character -- the leads, cops, criminals, even the vast supporting cast and extras -- appear to be idiotic caricatures. The premise of the film -- although taken from After The Fox -- the writing, and dialogues emphasise and celebrate stupidity.

Daddy
My biggest issue with this film is that Rampal plays it safe with facts, events and characters while bringing to the screen the life of one of the most colourful dons...

Hate Story
Publicised purely on the strength of its 'erotic' content and scandalously adult themes, Hate Story delivers very little actual heat.

Bank Chor
Even if one overlooks at the glaring loopholes in its tonal switch and professed slyness, it's frustrating how much Bank Chor delays its denouement because nobody cried wolf.

Ranchi Diaries
...unless you’re a movie watcher who can swallow a good chunk while spitting out the rest, you are likely to forget this stretch of Ranchi Diaries five minutes after you have staggered out of it.

Hero
This is a poorly-written film where the kids don’t seem to have any true allegiance to the parental figures or any consistent morality or conflict, even.

Yeh Hai Bakrapur
Despite all of this and some praiseworthy performances by the entire cast -- Yeh Hai Bakrapur fails to live up to its early promise due to lacklustre direction.

Hawaizaada
...thanks to the film’s half-baked treatment, it is reduced to appearing like a flight of fancy of an impulsive wastrel than an ambitious dream of a strong-willed genius.

Blank
The point behind this poorly made wingding is a debut. Karan Kapadia is Dimple Kapadia's nephew and the late actress-turned-costume designer Simple Kapadia's son.

Dulha Mil Gaya
Mudassar in text-book fashion introduces his characters in the first 30 minutes and then for the next two hours, the film keeps plodding its way towards a dreary, predictable end.

Enemmy
There's no method to the madness that has gone into packaging this old wine in a new bottle.

Ek Villain
Why, again, is this a remake? Why would these filmmakers steal from a film and yet leave out the good parts, the bits that made those films great? And why do we do it over and over again?

Sahi Dhandhe Galat Bande
...on its own merit, blends the moodiness of Yeh Saali Zindagi and visuals of Khosla Ka Ghosla, a film that Parvin acted in but wish had picked a few chops from.

Ladies VS Ricky Bahl

Sanam Teri Kasam
...would have been a *decent* watch if the makers hadn't stretched it like a rubber band. And if the script wasn't full of Bollywood cliches.
