Ranbanka
...is all about bad direction and uninterested actors crying, laughing and screaming.

Toh Baat Pakki
Tabu herself can't help being a good actress. But she clearly doesn't have the wherewithal to rescue a script this weak, loaded down with bad lines and a very weakly written character.

Commando 2
There's more unintended hilarity and very little combat to justify the existence of a sequel.

Julie 2
At no point does Julie 2 rise above being a B-grade flick whose mentality is stuck in the 1990s.

Shimla Mirchi
There have been many films made on rape and sexual violence. Most of them hope that depiction of violence will help to titillate the audience. Mittal Vs Mittal also sets out with this objective but the audience is more likely to get repulsed than titillated.

Rush
The shooting style in a lot of scenes and even the songs with spot lights on actors gives the feel of the 1980s cinema.

Heartless
Despite being well shot and fairly well edited, this film has nothing of value to offer.

Pagalpanti
...Pagalpanti's script is stuff of pre-schooler dreams. The performances, too, are better suited for a school play.

Policegiri
Plots with threadbare logic rely too much on larger-than-life heroics to draw its target audience in. But none of Dutt’s swagger is blustering enough to put up with a film as deafening, dowdy and drudging as Policegiri.

Kaun Kitney Paani Mein
...the storytelling in Kaun Kitne Paani Mein uniformly starts out with much force but falls short of realising its potential.

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.

Baadshaho
...Baadshaho's sluggish screenplay and humourless rhythm are spectacularly low on swagger and daredevilry as well.

Aiyaary
It's a bloated, prolonged mess of misplaced purpose that digresses from military misdeeds to animal cruelty.

Ghost (2019)
There is tacky, there is trashy and then there is a whole new depth of shamelessness...

Kochadaiiyaan
...a fundamentally flawed dud, one without anything to applaud besides grand (if self-glorifying) ambition. And little is as heartbreaking to witness as utterly failed ambition.

Kismet Love Paisa Dilli
Here's hoping that director Sanjay Khanduri lets go of his obsession with last trains and metros moves on to make something different and entertaining.

Machine
...is not a film in the first place -- it is a 148-minute parody that ends up possessing your mental faculties.

Saaho
After nearly three excruciating hours of clueless chaos and random action between cops pretending to be crooks and crooks pretending to be cops, my spirit is clobbered and crippled. I still have no idea what I just saw.
