Love Breakups Zindagi
There you have it - a film that leaves you entertained without big stars, an item-number, or lewd jokes.

Tere Mere Phere
...could have been an effective comedy, if the film had dug deeper to give us an interesting perspective on warring couples.

Hum Tum Shabana
Everything from the writing, to the dialogue and storytelling is damp and unfunny.

Force
If you like your films simplified and full of maar-dhaad, get yourself a ticket to this fight-fest.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster
...a wholesome, hugely satisfying film after a long time. Those who like their stories slightly twisted will love this Machiavellian story with delicious dark humour.

Speedy Singhs
...yet another run-of-the-mill "sports movie" that relies heavily on proven formulas and genre clichés. It's an ok watch, if you don't mind a watered-down Bend it Like Beckham.

Mausam
...is a film one wanted to like. But the truth is, it's marred by long-drawn storytelling, mediocre performances, and a bizarre finale. Find your reasons, if you must watch it!

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan
...has the sparking performances, the interesting pairing, and a few fun moments. But it’s essentially an assembly-line, rom-com product.

Bodyguard
...is endurable (and I say this without any condescension) for those who can forgive the haphazard story and be happy enjoying the songs and watching Salman and Kareena onscreen.

Yeh Dooriyan
The film's subject could make for an interesting film, if the subject itself was interestingly executed.

Chitkabrey
Producer-writer-director Suneet Arora takes a concept that could have translated into a suspenseful, edgy film. Instead, what you get is a moral-science lesson, the tough-love way.

Shabri
You may find the pace and storytelling a bit dated, but if you can forgive that, you have a mafia story that’s both gritty and fascinating.

Not A Love Story
...the film is no great shakes. But it's an alright thriller with a few moments that definitely unnerve you.

Chatur Singh Two Star
With a damp plot, sparse laughter-generating moments, and the character of Chatur Singh not endearing or memorable enough, the film barely chugs along.

Aarakshan
...is not afraid to take a stand and Jha's sure-footed storytelling is a delight, but what's the point if the issue itself is abandoned mid-way? Still as a film, it remains highly watchable for the performances and the gripping, relevant story.

Chala Mussaddi - Office Office
This one is about average—watchable mainly for the characters we've grown to love and the fab performances.

I Am Kalam
...is yet another superlative children's film this year. Go watch this hearty film that lingers with you long after.

Bubble Gum
...its simple, no-frills storytelling is refreshing, surrounded as we are by technically overwhelming and highly dramatic films with too much to say. Some could find the film refreshingly minimalist; but many will find it too sparse.

Singham
The more things change, the more they remain the same. That's accurate for Hindi films, at least. On one hand we have subversive formula-breaking films, and on the other, we're clinging desperately to the formula as it were.

Chillar Party
The songs have lyrics likening children to "jalebiyon ke tukde". What a wonderful, apt metaphor. The film's great too, don't miss!

Murder 2
Director Mohit Suri makes the film soft-porn (brief love-making scenes) and also soft-horror (the crimes are that horrific).
