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.

Befikre
If Befikre's sole objective is to prove Aditya Chopra's not a prude, he only embarrasses himself by going overboard with two sexually explicit characters who might even be more fond of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge than he is.

India‘s Most Wanted
It's unbearable, this dullness. You'll find more action in a grocery shop's CCTV footage than in all of India's Most Wanted.

India‘s Most Wanted
All I can personally say about this trend of remaking one-note Southern hits as a viewer is that it's an exhausting one.

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.

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?

Wah Taj
Exaggerated faces, clueless extras and cartoonish sound effects set the stage for something that resembles a sloppy sitcom more than an actual feature film.

Irada
Blame it on the director for Irada's sloppy editing, the film fails to hold your undivided attention.

Malang
Here's a witless thriller so far removed from reality yet so consumed by its own self-seriousness, no amount of slick photography (Vikas Sivaraman), soaring soundtrack (Mithoon, Ved Sharma) or steady supply of conspiracy (Aseem Arrora) can salvage its tepid material.

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

Mastram
Director Akhilesh Jaiswal, who wrote Gangs of Wasseypur, seems unable to make up his mind as to how to firmly hold the narrative in his directorial debut Mastram.

Mohenjo Daro
Historical accuracy be darned, Gowariker has served up a severely amateurish production with a weak script and an abundance of cliche.

At times, you have no idea why you are even sitting there and what is it that will salvage Yeh Faasley.

Azhar
...a mostly watchable film with a solid lead, but falls far short of being either entertaining, insightful, or worthy of recommendation.

Running Shaadi
Only if the script was better. Only if the film maintained the promise of its beginning.

R... Rajkumar
The film begins pretty well and Shahid entertains in bits but there's only so much he can do to make this kind of stuff work.

Qaidi Band
Qaidi Band's biggest undoing is its superficial treatment of a thought-provoking premise.

Paathshaala
Everything about the film is one-dimensional. The school itself is a set and looks like a cardboard cut-out. The characters are all good or all bad; there are no shades of grey.

Always Kabhi Kabhi
The first half is dull as can be, merely loud, and while the emotionally-laden second half begins to mildly resemble something sweet, it explodes into a flashy climax that ruins everything.

Always Kabhi Kabhi
Dhawan sponges a bunch of comedies from his own stable and outside to rustle up a series of misadventures that are dumb, dated and dreary.

One By Two
Abhay Deol shoots himself in the foot by acting in (and, inexplicably, producing) this monstrosity that sucks all the goodwill out of an actor we usually like, and his apparent girlfriend Preeti Desai hands in the kind of atrocious performance that makes vintage Katrina look like Juhi Chawla.

Bharat
There is a softness in people’s thinking today: characterised by the belief that, to be a hero, you don’t have to be smart -- merely being 'good' would do. While you may scorn at its general shoddiness, it is to this popular thinking that Ali Abbas Zafar’s film panders.
