Darr @The Mall
...might be an absolute failure in the horror genre but as a revenge drama, it is refreshingly simple and does manage to pull a few heartstrings at the end of the day.

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

The Perfect Girl
...has caused a crater to form on my desk because I keep hitting my head against it as I recount this less than perfect slow poison of a film to you.

Housefull 3
Ritesh Deshmukh can see. Abhishek Bachchan can talk. Akshay Kumar can walk. And I, somehow, survived Housefull 3. That, ladies and gentleman, is the real miracle.

It is a mercifully brief movie, just about two hours long, and goes by briskly enough, but that’s about it in terms of the good part.

Sarkar 3
For me, a director's cinematic approach often says a lot about his larger philosophy, and Ram Gopal Varma's present approach suggests an extreme literalisation of the punkish values he once advocated through his interviews. This makes me wonder if Varma's ability for self-destruction was always built into his greatness.

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

Hate Story 3
...is not the film that you hate when it ends; you hate yourself for venturing out to watch such a film.

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

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

Kanwar not only rakes an old-fashioned subject, his treatment is outmoded too. And there's nothing vintage about that.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
