Freaky Ali
It’s entirely on the writers and actors to make the proceedings seem crucial or comic. What shows up on screen is plain lazy on their part and it's painfully dull to watch.

Fraud Saiyaan
The film is packaged with cringe-worthy dialogues, blond women who seem to be perpetually sex-starved, insipid songs and forced humour.

Force 2
...loses steam over hastily established grievances, vendetta schemes and quick fix conclusions.

Force 2
The fundamental flaw in a film like this -- other than the repetitive wowlessness of it all -- is the fact that by creating too dry and no-nonsense protagonists instead of fleshing them out as characters, you end up failing the genre.

Force
For a genre that works purely on moronic logic and one-note screenplay, Force never had much to accomplish in the first place. But its complete lack of individuality or snap makes it a boring, banal, blah and bleak experience.

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

Fitoor
...Kapoor casts two attractive people where he ought have chosen a couple of actual actors instead, and thus it becomes hard to care about the protagonists or their sundered hearts, and despite aesthetic appeal, what we end up with is -- at best -- a screensaver.

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.

Firangi
Firangi's persistence to club romantic overtures, non-cooperation movement mania, 19th century naiveté and con-adventure spunk in its 160 minutes running time proves to be its undoing. That's just too much to take in a movie that neither wants to be fun or funny.

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.

Filmistaan

Fever
Our desi writers really need to work hard on their scripts. The story here seems too convoluted.

Ferrari Ki Sawaari
One or two brilliant moments, a handful of good moments but they don't come together to give us a great film.

Fatso
...the film squanders the most potentially thrilling aspects of the idea and leaves us with something half-baked.

Fanney Khan
...is in the same space as Tumhari Sulu and Secret Superstar where starry-eyed aspiration and gullible hearts of gold go but nowhere as grounded in reality.

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

Enemmy
It tries so visibly hard to be tough, murky, sassy and, most laughably, clever that it's impossible to find any redeeming aspects in its devoted wannabeism.

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.

Ekk Deewana Tha
...is the Hindi remake of Gautham Menon's Tamil film Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya which was a huge commercial hit. Somewhere, something obviously got lost in translation.

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?

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

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 Paheli Leela
Though there are more flaws in the film’s execution, at the heart of it Leela is a genuinely intriguing, if slightly predictable story and the twist at the end could have been a game changer had it been played out better.

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu
...is neither on the epic side like Dharma Productions' great, grand ancestors nor weighed down by an overload of pop culture references of those that define the genre. Instead the confection's appeal lies in its underplayed wit, quirky within plausibility protagonists and a refreshing disregard for conventional conclusions.
