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.

Tere Mere Phere
...passes only in persistently bad acting and that it does by distinction.

Hum Tum Shabana
...a rudderless ship which simultaneously endeavors to straddle many genres. And fails miserably.

Hum Tum Shabana
If you are looking out for an original script, give this a miss. But if you enjoy family dramas, with lots of laughs and tears go for this.

Hum Tum Shabana
As manipulative masala tearjerkers go, it's a film that tries relatively earnestly and certainly one that occasionally looks striking, but disappoints overall.

Rivaaz
It is these good-as-gold characters with outdated values in their simplistic uncomplicated world which make the film unbelievable.

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan
...a pretty ordinary effort. It's the kind of movie where everyone looks catalogue cool and beams with enthusiasm to make the going-ons appear droll and exciting.

That Girl in Yellow Boots
...while Dabangg offered a precise volume of coolness and chutzpah, Ready went overboard with the shtick. Bodyguard, meanwhile, is on the underwhelming side.

Not A Love Story
All Ramu seems to be saying is 'look at me,' and we've seen most of that before. This is a film made in bad taste, and -- with apologies to Mr Capote -- in old blood.

Not A Love Story
...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.

Chatur Singh Two Star

Though the suspense is predictable, the audience is kept entertained throughout.

Phhir
I wish people would see Aarakshan and instead object to Jha's vision, the execution of his muddled script, which half way through forgets its purpose, and varying degrees of unimpressive performances.

Chala Mussaddi - Office Office
...what makes Bubblegum an entertaining watch is the absolutely realistic & mature treatment to adolescent issues generally discarded as frivolous.

Chala Mussaddi - Office Office
All I can personally say about this trend of remaking one-note Southern hits as a viewer is that it's an exhausting one.

Murder 2
...may not be free of the obligatory good versus evil theme which persistently makes its way into this genre (at least in Bollywood) yet it aims at generating laughter, without punching you in the gut.

...not a particularly well-crafted film but none of that matters as Amitabh Bachchan makes it work.

Bbuddah...Hoga Terra Baap
A nice, tight, pacy little plot which has lots of satisfying little set-ups and pay-offs, and where everything comes together very well indeed.

Bbuddah...Hoga Terra Baap
There are moments when things seem to be looking up and it appears as if Bhindi Baazaar has finally found its footing. But it never does. All that is left eventually is a residue of aimless, incomplete bits.
