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

Joker
What could have been a delightful, fantastical fable turns out to be a damp squib full of flat jokes.

Roar: Tigers Of The Sundarbans
How does a film with majestic tigers, beautiful wildlife and tons of VFX (mostly CGI) get it so wrong? How does a film with a title like Roar turn out to be such a bore?

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

Ekk Deewana Tha
...could've been a sweet romance-next-door. This one, however, reeks of characters who you reckon need therapy other than love. Avoidable.

Tamanchey
One wonders the purpose of making a crime film (we recently saw Desi Kattey, again titled after guns), that the viewer has seen a hundred times already.

Teen Thay Bhai
...has a premise that could've been a bagful of fun, but what you get is a tale that's worn-out and humourless.

Singh Is Bliing
Watch it if you can forgive seeing much-loved stars reduced to playing stereotypical roles. Watch it if you want Bollywood to be stuck in a pathetic time-warp!

Love U...Mr. Kalakaar!
...is stepping back a couple of decades, when the world is sprinting ahead. Not sure if the evolved viewer is interested in looking back.

Tevar
The film is a remake of a Telugu hit Okkadu (2003). It does seem that South Indian cinema has moved on and is exploring some wildly interesting stories, while Bollywood is perplexingly keen on retracting steps. This has to stop.

Chhodo Kal Ki Baatein
The story has an agenda and a message, but is let down by damp execution.And you know whats worse than a bad film? A boring one. Avoid.

Yamla Pagla Deewana 2
Sadly, the film doesn't work - neither as a comedy nor as a moral science-infused family drama.

'I’ really want to know how a film with such an interesting premise ended up as such a watered-down version.

All Is Well
It's perplexing how Umesh Shukla, who made the simple and entertaining OMG Oh My God!, could have come up with this sub-par deal.

...doesn’t work largely because the characters don’t. We don’t care at all about the glossy-lipped girl, or the expressionless boy. They are one-dimensional characters constantly doing things out of their league and desperate for an applause.

Paathshaala
It’s over dramatised to the point of ridiculousness. And these manipulative tricks are shameful to say the least.

Crook
...treatment of the subject is scattered and ridden with flashbacks. The film seems to have internalised its title - 'it's good to be bad'.

The cast is sprightly and earnest, but let down by a dodgy script and inadequate execution.

It’s obvious that when a film looks at complex and serious problems in such a simplistic fashion, it’s only doing those issues an immense disservice.

Jo Dooba So Paar
...sharp technical prowess cannot save a non-existent script. The film unfortunately gets progressively worse from the time it starts.
