Dabangg
...an evolved version of Wanted. The hero is not all-pervasive. He can beat up a roomful of baddies but also shed a tear over his estranged family. These nuances are appreciable, but the film lacks the pace and drama of a full-blown entertainer.

Worth a watch for the thrills and chills and bravura performances by the ladies!

Mickey Virus
For the crisp writing, humour and Manish Paul’s antics this one’s worth your time.

Kites
Kites’s essential flaw is the story unfolding at a pace that’s too relaxed. One is certain this would have been a far better film with snappier editing. But then how many films do you see where you can remember the characters long after the film is done?

Chakravyuh
It's the immersing story, masterful storytelling by Prakash Jha, superb camerawork by Sachin Krishna and the efficient cast that makes the film worthwhile.

Chalk N Duster
Director Jayant Gilatar makes a pertinent film with some crackerjack performances by the lead cast. The story and its message is a winner, but the film is technically inept, complete with the limitations of dubbed sound and abrupt cuts.

Ragini MMS - 2
It may not be the scariest film you’ve seen, but with the combination of a few chilling moments, excellent supporting cast and the comedic relief, it certainly is entertaining!

Badlapur
The film is mainly recommended for Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s class act as the impudent criminal. Other than that, the film has some solid, immersing moments and an equal number that are misogynistic and repulsive.

Oscillating wildly between a sports movie and a melodrama, this is your dose of punch-drunk love!

Hawaa Hawaai
This is a black-and-white, predictable film; but still watchable for the incredible child actors, the infallible underdog story, and some warm moments.

Rang Rasiya
For choosing to tell the story of this extraordinary artist and for standing up for artistic freedom, Rang Rasiya is recommended. That it could have been a far better film, is another story.

Teri Meri Kahaani
...holds your attention whether it’s the writing, storytelling, or the technical aspect. It’s a popcorn cruncher, but that’s also fairly intelligent and hearty.

...here's a film that's sweet, funny, innocent and most importantly, talks to the kids eye-to-eye.

...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.

The film is watchable, yes, but less for the unimpressive story and mainly for the Ranveer-Priyanka-Arjun combo.

OMG Oh My God!
...the film is below par in terms of production values, has an outdated look, and several characters are over-the-top caricatures. But you will be keen to sidestep these flaws, as the film’s content is so exciting and subversive

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns
Though not as incredible as the first film, the sequel still makes for a worthwhile watch for the performances, some engaging portions and bits of dark humour.
