Mirch
...a reasonably fun film about infidelity that's neither chauvinist nor feminist, or perhaps both!

...barring the film's story and a few immersing scenes, all you have is characters you don't emotionally invest in, bizarre dialogue, and a lifeless romance. That's unfortunate indeed, as this story was rich with possibilities.

...if you can forgive the director’s `filmy’ take on terrorism and can enjoy the thrilling moments and superb performances nevertheless.

We Are Family
...old wine in a new, expensive bottle. It's evident in the characterisation, the dated dialogue, and the choice of the heavy-duty background score where you hear a woman's alaap for the most part; a mainstay in our saas-bahu soaps.

Agent Vinod
More pulp than pulpy, apart from the performances and a few riveting moments, Agent Vinod doesn't have much to offer.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
...a film cracking under its own weight. If only Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra had ditched the self-serious tone and let the film breathe a bit.

Chance Pe Dance
Had the film retained its smart, humorous and authentic tone without falling into pattern, this would have been a great watch. For now, you’ll have to forgive the predictable second half if you want to enjoy Shahid’s uninhibited, charming performance.

Welcome 2 Karachi
...the film is worth your time for the unique story, performances and some genuine laughs.

Toonpur Ka Superrhero
The storytelling is flawed at several instances. But still, for the novelty and the relatively stronger second half, the film is worth a watch.

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.

...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.

Bang Bang!
If you've seen Knight and Day (Bang Bang! is an official remake), better steer clear. Otherwise, the film might be tolerable, even entertaining in parts.

B.A. Pass
It’s not as dark and dangerous as you’d expect film noir to be. Still, you might want to check it out for the few grappling moments and the performances.

...a fairly breezy film that won't leave you bored, but won't have you spell-bound either.

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.

...the tale is indeed a remarkable one. If only there were performances to back these inspiring, spirited characters, and a film that worked together as a whole, instead of delightful separates.

Watch this film without too many expectations, and you might find yourself moved the by the characters and their Bollywood diaries.

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.

The finale is as cliched as they come. So the film ends up being delightfully audacious but also messed-up, pretty much like some of its characters.

...Ram Gopal Varma really had a chance to make a film that could carry its message to the film-watching public. Instead, you have black and white characters comprising the usual clique of the righteous man, the villainous politician, and supportive love interest.

Guzaarish
Bhansali's love story doesn't move you the way it is intended to. It's unique, but not necessarily special.

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