Veer
It's a film so dated it hurts. Imagine Manmohan Desai's atrocious Mard, but minus Mr Desai or Mr Bachchan. Yes, that bad.

Life Ki Toh Lag Gayi
Lack of imagination and an oddball cast lets down Rakesh Mehta's Life Ki Toh Lag Gayi.

Katti Batti
It is an imbecilic cliche-ridden embarrassment that made me want to punch it in the mouth.

Youngistaan
...makes claims like Modi, implements policies like Rahul and has a persistent cough like Kejriwal, and I certainly wouldn’t vote for it.

Baaghi 3
...hits rock bottom of the birdbrained franchise through its course of two and a half hours of reason defying, mind numbing, soul destroying free-for-all.

1920 London
It seems 1920 London has been made JUST to take the franchise forward. Not only is the story done-to-death, there is hardly anything spooky about it.

Hind Ka NaPak Ko Jawab – MSG The Lionheart 2
Watch HKNKJ: MSG LH 2 only if you need some comic relief.

Bangistan
...is eventually reduced to being a satire on the notion of a satire, falling tremendously short of a bang for your buck.

Shivaay
To evoke a truly superb avalanche-filled film, this one may as well have been called Force Manure.

Teraa Surroor
If watching a 100-something minutes long music video starring a deadpan, poor man's Sunil Shetty strutting self-importantly in Salman's hand-me-down is your kind of entertainment, book your ticket RIGHT NOW.

Qarib Qarib Singlle
The subject of Qarib Qarib demanded a director with a natural talent for informality and offhandedness. Which is why Tanuja Chandra may strike you as a curious choice.

Arjun Patiala
In its attempt to take potshots at everybody -- from film directors, producers, reporters, cops and politicians -- Arjun Patiala quite doesn't add up to be the spoof it was meant to be.

Jaanisaar
...a cautionary tale of a film with a half-baked script and pretend patriotism.

Sanam Re
In this schizophrenic rubbish -- for it’s certainly not a script, hardly a synopsis -- landscapes change faster than its cast’s wardrobe and characters suddenly appear or mysteriously vanish at the director’s whim.

Babumoshai Bandookbaaz
The director makes vain efforts to weave a string of narratives and subplots into a meaningful and engaging whole. Instead, he haemorrhages the audience's intelligence, and succeeds in killing the film.

Thugs Of Hindostan
...is 1980s schlock at its most forgettable. Every single gesture, smile and betrayal of this 164-minutes long drag is done-to-death predictable.

Rustom
...no possible fiction-based-on-fact disclaimer could have prepared me for the fact that Rustom is a parody. That, I believe, can be the only explanation for this daft film.

Half Girlfriend
The constant issue in Half Girlfriend is its wimpy characters and the contrivances they resort to arrive at its predictable conclusion. Stupidity is responded with equal, if not more, stupidity.

Marjaavaan
Nothing can salvage the Marjaavaan mess -- not religious symbols tattooed on Malhotra's knuckles, the two-and-a-half hours of hysterically hamming people, the boisterous background score, the stale imagination, the burly giants, the phony rain, the cheap blood, the microwave romance, the laboured hostility, the incessant babbling on mohabbat and ibadat, not Arjit Singh yowling in a loop.

Marjaavaan
...falls into the same genre of films such as Ta Ra Rum Pum or Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic which are purportedly about kids but it's the same melodramatic mush being dished out in a new wrapper.

Dabangg 3
Lacking the calibre to create something fresh, the makers pick on the most popular attributes of the original -- the catchy dialogues, the quirky name by scribbling the sloppiest possible Chulbul Pandey origins that does little besides prolong the Dabangg 3 torture to nearly three hours long.

Jannat 2
A lot would have been forgiven -- as it often is with these producers -- if the film had either a meatier plot or a more gripping narrative, but this one's just tiresome as the obvious story drags on.

Surkhaab
...lacks the strength to go all the way either to become a masala thriller or to blossom into an insightful take on the exploitation of immigrants. Because it wants to do both, it ends up doing neither.

Dil Juunglee
...may reward his conceit for jumping into the water, but that won't wash his sins away or make suffering fools a love story.
