Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana
Sumit Batheja's writing and Sameer Sharma's direction is a brilliant combination. The detailing in the setting of the film and focus on each of the characters is well crafted.

Ajab Gazabb Love
...overwhelming mediocrity -- of characters indulging in over-exaggerated buffoonery, foolhardiness and distasteful humour.

Rush
The shooting style in a lot of scenes and even the songs with spot lights on actors gives the feel of the 1980s cinema.

Chakravyuh
...is nothing more than an average action flick in the garb of relevant cinema where socio-politico turmoil is nothing more than a prop and gun-toting militants in uniforms and bandanas hollering 'Lal Salaam' fill up the frames.

Student Of The Year
...through constant influx of escapism and pomp with magnificently choreographed songs, razzle dazzle of colours/style/design, appropriate dosage of humour and ritzy production values that distracts one from Student of the Year's brash celebration of superficiality and obvious lack of depth.

Makkhi
Director S S Rajamouli and Kotagiri Venkateshwar Rao, who handled the editing and camera work, and the entire team deserves thundering applause.

Bhoot Returns
The first half of the film has quite a few nail biting scenes but post interval, the movie gets over on a rather abrupt note. The end credits roll in no time, leaving you with a sense that there's more to the story that's missing.

Chittagong
And while Chittagong falls well short of being a great film, it can't help but be an important one. And Pain keeps it honest.

Aiyyaa
There is no way to find fault with Rani but she is shockingly let down by the storyline.

Kismet Love Paisa Dilli
Here's hoping that director Sanjay Khanduri lets go of his obsession with last trains and metros moves on to make something different and entertaining.

OMG Oh My God!
...a brave and absorbing blend of satire, fable and fantasy that brings our attention to the misuse and commercialisation of religion.

Barfi!
And yet so impressive and earnest are most parts of Barfi! that one is inclined even to forgive its flawed centre; we want badly to overlook the film's peach-seed heart, and concentrate on the rest of its juicy joys.

Raaz 3
Is there something worse than an outright plagiarist? Perhaps someone unoriginal who doesn't realise the limits of their own skill? That is something Vikram Bhatt should seriously consider before he decides to let loose another half baked, corpse-like aatma on us.

Joker
There isn't a single line in Shirish Kunder's Joker that actually works, leaving us with a film that, while commendably brisk in a 100-minute package, refuses to get going at all.

Ek Tha Tiger
It could have been snappier, and the girl could have been much better, but the film should be applauded for giving us a non-sleepwalking Salman, and enough genuine bang for our buck.

Ek Tha Tiger
...an action-packed adventure with an endearing Salman and a roaring Kat.

Gangs Of Wasseypur 2
Like one of those unending strings of ladis, this is, then, a proper firecracker, even if far too long.

Jism - 2
It's like Sunny Leone's assets are the script, screenplay and sole purpose of Jism 2 and everyone outside that -- Hooda, Singh, Zakaria or the audience -- is obliged to wag their tongues with thrill. Well, duh, for thinking otherwise.

It'd still have been tolerably okay, if only the jokes were funny.Spoiler alert: They're not.

Mere Dost Picture Abhi Baki Hai
...a forgetful film laced with vulgar dialogues that pass for humour, worn out production values and acting that will make you cringe.

Cocktail
...has a handful of moments and a few genuine sparks, but finally crashes and burns so spectacularly that it's hard to focus on the positives.
