Rakht Charitra – I
Ram Gopal Varma's storytelling has a Company and Sarkar hangover. Plus the films gets entangled in a repetitive cycle of revenge and counter-revenge, so the story doesn’t move anywhere.

MLA
More shaded and real characters would have taken the film notches higher. However, it's a decent attempt by debut director Shiv Dube.

Hello Darling
Watch it if you can forgive bad acting and inadequate storytelling for a few very few laughs and a novel premise.

Fatso
...a film that had potential. But somewhere along the way, we just couldn’t understand what to make of the man in the fat suit and his pack of strange friends.

Nasha
This Nasha had the potential to give you a high, but it's not that intoxicating after all.

Love Express
...a simple, occasionally charming, and highly improbable romantic movie.

Khiladi 786
...here was great potential here - the successful Khiladi franchise, the A-list cast, good music and so on. But debut director Ashish R Mohan makes a film that's a diluted, washed-down version of several such films.

Pankh
The film has an interesting premise, but it hasn’t been fleshed out satisfactorily.

Game
Debut director Abhinay Deo makes the film slick and stylish, but is lacking in rock-solid content.

My Friend Pinto
...the only time the film sparkles is when super-charming actors Prateik and Kalki descend on the screen and make some magic. Unfortunately these moments are sparse, and snowballed under the sub-plot-stuffed story.

Ek Paheli Leela
...a half-entertaining story that unfolds between songs, some past life mumbo-jumbo, sprinkles of Rajasthan exotica, and a good-looking cast that makes it somewhat bearable.

Housefull
It’s just like so many of its kind – banking on skin-show, star-power and a couple of tired gags; it’s frightening to say that this is the only endurable option available to the Hindi film viewer currently.

Pappu Can't Dance Saala
We wish that even if the film wanted to explore an unlikely romance, it did so with honesty.

Rabba Main Kya Karoon
...the film has limited appeal due to its predictable and old-school story and treatment.

Jai Ho
The film appears to be a massive PR fillip for Salman—working on his image of a do-gooder with a volatile temper. The film and his image feed off each other. There's also some token nationalism forced in for good measure. You'll get a lot of Salman Khan here, but an entertaining movie, you will not.

Road, Movie
Neither a full-blown road movie, nor a story that cleverly folds in the delights of touring cinema...

Rahasya
...it's another product from a film-making factory that employs its set formulas in every film.

Jayanta Bhai Ki Luv Story
...a gangster rom-com that will have you smile in the first half, and snooze in the second.

Bumm Bumm Bole
Perhaps some films are better left untouched. You might enjoy this marginally, if you haven’t had the chance to see the original.

One By Two
Writer-director Devika Bhagat makes a film that's like an elongated sitcom. The film manages to stand initially, but goes quite berserk towards the finale, much like our characters.

Fugly
The film starts as an arresting concept, but that sadly hasn’t been realized to its potential.

Table No. 21
Director Aditya Datt seems unsure whether to make a hard-hitting thriller or a soppy drama. He makes a thriller that ends with a moral message.

Tell Me O Kkhuda
One enjoyed Tell Me O Kkhuda's earnest first half, but the film nosedives in the second and doesn't quite recover.

Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon
One wonders if we'll always be stuck with comedies, that in an attempt to be massy, end up as regressive and stuck in a time-warp.
