Always Kabhi Kabhi
...despite the fleeting pleasant moments, remains an average high school drama.

Raja Natwarlal
The film will seem monotonous for the most part, save the finale where you are at the edge of your seat for a few moments.

Gour Hari Dastaan
The dour performances don't help either. Neither does the thick, gloomy air of the film. While the story is electrifying and inspiring, the film doesn't manage to do justice.

Damadamm
...a reasonably breezy watch. You might enjoy the contemporary romance, if you let the flaws pass.

Zila Ghaziabad
If judgmental, one could be deeply offended by the unstopped flow of aggression and profanity. However, if in a lenient mind-space, the bloody battle for indeterminate causes could provide some amount of lowbrow fun.

Na Ghar Ke Na Ghaat Ke
Funny at times, crude at others, it's a decent watch if you're willing to forgive the implausible finale.

Jodi Breakers
The story is told with the zest it deserves and is enhanced by the sparkling dialogue. Sadly, the director has a messed-up second half on his hands. Still, worth your while for the unusual story, interesting coupling, and the irreverent humour.

Rocket Singh
After Ab Tak Chhappan and Chak De India, this is director Shimit Amin’s weakest film thus far.

Dum Maaro Dum
...worth a watch for the peek into the seamier side of Goa; but expecting anything other than Bollywood style thrills and chases will leave you disappointed.

Chala Mussaddi - Office Office
This one is about average—watchable mainly for the characters we've grown to love and the fab performances.

Raajneeti
The film is too long, and the second half is inexplicably stretched. In true Bollywood fashion, politics is elevated to an exalted, unattainable status, and the many dialogues, beginning with Raajneeti mein..., get utterly tiresome.

Bodyguard
...is endurable (and I say this without any condescension) for those who can forgive the haphazard story and be happy enjoying the songs and watching Salman and Kareena onscreen.

Babloo Happy Hai
...for the sincere performances and the topical subject of the film, one could sample this without expecting too much.

Uvaa
...the film talks about women's rights while including these sexist elements, and gives a muddled message. However, the film redeems itself to an extent by the story it chooses...

Bbuddah...Hoga Terra Baap
It's an average story with archaic storytelling. If you're watching it, keep in mind that Big B is the only thing going for the film.

Bandook
This small film with an easy-to-forget title needed more aggressive and focused marketing to get noticed. Still, do sample it if you enjoy crime dramas in an authentic rustic setting.

Phata Poster Nikhla Hero

Phoonk 2
...starts off being is scarier and bloodier than the first film, but ends up conforming to the regular horror fare complete with spirit possessions and the white-eyed ghost.

The Shaukeens
...director Abhishek Sharma (Tere Bin Laden) gives us a fast food version of what was a very charming and humorous film. Go for it if you have the stomach!

...a peculiar film - to be enjoyed for its beautiful moments, and to be endured for its bizarre ones.

Chaalis Chauraasi
The performances sparkle and there are a few moments of heartfelt camaraderie and humour. Other than that, Chaalis Chauraasi remains an average crime-caper.

1920 - Evil Returns
Ok so this a Vikram Bhatt horror film (who has directed it is secondary), which means all of the following – a tormented heroine, a spirit that possesses her, the romance, some mumbo-jumbo and lilting music.

Aurangzeb
Call it a retro film with modern sensibilities. Old wine in new bottle. Whatever. Worth a watch, if you'd like to savour the story and performances, and forgive much of the rest.

Guddu Rangeela
The film might have seemed an interesting, ambitious, black-humoured take on crime in the menacing hinterlands. But what we get is a watered-down version of the above.

Aladin
Despite the length being a tad too long and the enchantment quotient hovering around average, the film might still be worth a watch for a few amusing moments.

Help
...a slightly above-average horror film that’s a mix of the regular cliches, and redeemed by the novel twist.
