Humshakals
There are bad movies, and then there’s Humshakals. The worst film of 2014 so far, in my book.

Chal Bhaag
With a lame story, uneven performances, offensive dialogue, and storytelling that barely holds your attention, this one is best avoided!

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

Holiday
The lead actors do well in their parts, and their pairing will possibly be a draw. But with such weak characterization and soppy romance, even their electric onscreen chemistry is diluted.

Citylights
The film doesn’t quite work to its full potential. You might want to sample it for the story, formidable performances and few arresting moments.

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.

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.

Yeh Hai Bakrapur
One of the few films that is as entertaining as it is thought-provoking.

Kya Dilli Kya Lahore
...the film relays its anti-war message effectively, and refreshingly, without faux patriotic propaganda.

Kaanchi
...the film is not a total let-down. It has an interesting protagonist, an arresting story (sadly told in a simplistic fashion), and some effective moments. The gripe is this could have been a far, far better film. Too bad, really.

Revolver Rani
...a film that entertains, makes you laugh, and gives you food for thought. Truth be told, the film is worthwhile for Kangna Ranaut’s performance alone.

Dekh Tamasha Dekh
Neither a biting enough political satire, nor a moving drama— Dekh Tamasha Dekh hangs precariously in-between. You understand the intention, you even connect with a few scenes, but overall the film is dismal.

Bhoothnath Returns
If you don’t mind the supernatural comedy taking a somber turn towards the finale, the film is worth a watch!

Main Tera Hero
...some filmmakers are insistent on rehashing the same old formula with new actors. Watch it if you don’t mind being served old wine in a glitzy new bottle.

The convoluted second half makes sure the viewer is completely disconnected, with the finale twist being the only interesting aspect.

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!

Gang of Ghosts
...with unforgivably clumsy execution and mostly awful acting, one would recommend you rent out the original.

Bewakoofiyaan
The film could have been a modern rom-com dealing with issues of the recession, over-bearing parents, changing love equations etcetera. But what you get are good-looking actors, a few immersing moments, and an amusing sitcom episode at best.

Gulaab Gang
If you can forgive its sizeable flaws, the film is watchable largely for Juhi Chawla, and the few scenes where her face-off with Madhuri Dixit has sizzle.

Shaadi Ke Side Effects
With a take on relationships that starts off as modern, but cops-out; it’s the humour and performances that are worth savouring.

Darr @The Mall
...if you’re in the mood for a decent horror flick that has an equal number of spooky and dry moments, you won’t mind this one.

Highway
Beautifully written, deeply philosophical, visually astounding and absolute fun — Highway is unadulterated joy.
