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.

Heartless
The story is hollow, and has enough meat to sustain perhaps an episode of a tv thriller series.

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.

Ramaiya Vastavaiya
Watch if you'd like to revisit an '80s style romance with the songs, dances, humour and melodrama all mixed in.

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.

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.

Housefull 2
...a high-production version of what they call the "mad-cap comedy". With nothing else at the cinemas this week, this makes for a just-about- bearable single time view.

The Xpose
You can watch the film for the visual chutzpah, a sprinkling of interesting behind-the-scenes moments, and the intermittent unintentional laugh. But honestly, enduring the rest of the film for that, is a stretch.

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.

Radio
A very simplistic story made unnecessarily gimmicky with the story told in chapters and sketchy characterisations, Radio is watchable only for fans of froth.

Shahrukh Bola Khoobsurat Hai Tu
...an immersing enough premise, but a film that doesn't quite live up to its quirky title.

Kya Yahi Sach Hai
An interesting watch for the subject, but be warned, the film falters in its amateur storytelling and dated look.

Inkaar
The film has taken an important subject and turned it into slush. In the end the film is a mockery of sexual harassment, of love, of the ad fraternity and of professionalism.

Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai
Compared to the films we’ve been witnessing over the few weeks, this one would qualify as an average watch. A couple of moments of fun, that’s it.

For Real
...commendable for its inclusion of a child's perspective. But the film needs to give the grown-ups a break as well.

I Me Aur Main
Pretty much like the central character, the film is self-obsessed - rambling on without sparing a thought for its audience.

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