Race 3
...I got in this family saga of globalised NRI goons is some stale taste of sheer inanity and randomness.

Jhootha Kahin Ka
...Kang can’t stop the humour turning loud and crass with double entendre slipping in, specially when it comes to women. It’s not just the sexist jokes, here the women are rendered deliberately vapid and inconsequential...

Blood Money
A sincere Kunal Khemu aside, this is a cheesy, predictable, over-the-top adult-rated modern-day adaptation of Hansel and Gretel.

Mr Joe B. Carvalho
It is supposed to be a satire; it is supposed to be a theatre of the absurd but unfortunately all that remains an idea on paper. On screen it is relentless torture.

Machhli Jal Ki Rani Hai
A horror film that unravels like a daily soap, director Debaloy Dey’s attempt at spooking you out goes in vain.

Love Games
...is a C Grade film trying hard to be cool (pitches itself as urban-thriller) making it worse for itself.

Department
It's high time the filmmaker struggling with form realised that this nauseatingly gimmicky camerawork he has been afflicted with in his last few films distracts from the story.

Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara
...the numerologically- and logically-challenged sequel titled Once Upon Ay Time in Mumbaai Dobaara does not have characters speaking dialogues. They only talk in punch lines.

Alone
Bipasha Basu, however, has become the Bhai of the horror film genre, minus the box office appeal, of course. You can easily switch scenes between her films and nobody would even know. They all have Bipasha doing exactly the same thing.

Bhoomi
Sanjay Dutt hasn’t lost his acting chops yet, rather seems to be maturing well. But why did he have to pick up a film this regressive for a return?

Nanu Ki Jaanu
To be fair, silliness, if done with aplomb, can be sublime fun at times. Nanu Ki Jaanu is none of it, only laughable.

Jism - 2
This is the kind of film many will go to watch no matter how bad we say it is simply because this is the closest they get to see an adult star take her clothes off on the big screen in India.

Samrat & Co.
The plot is so convoluted for the sake of mystery that the makers themselves lose count of who did what and why after a while.

Coffee With D
Sending up the media? Spoofing the underworld? Whatever it is that the filmmaker wants to do, it just doesn’t spark any interest in the viewer.

Arjun Patiala
...feels like a Punjabi film masquerading as a Bollywood one. The humour is deliberately rough and rustic and the filmmaking clunky.

Bumboo
A wannabe Bheja Fry, this crass, scatalogical humour-infested stagey remake is just about funny enough to make you source out the French original Lemmerdeur "A Pain in the Ass".

Fugly
In trying to be candid, the language becomes crass. In trying to be funny, the emotions feel manufactured.

Jai Ho! Democracy
The intentions are right and the situations spot on but apart from a few stinging comments on the polity, it fails to grow into a cogent commentary on the state of affairs.

Baar Baar Dekho
There are no standout performances, no scenes that can pack in an emotional wallop and the conversational dialogue turns banal beyond a point.

Race 2
If Race spoofed the structure of Wild Things to ridiculous levels, Race 2 spoofs Race.

Kaanchi
The best movie Subhash Ghai has made in 15 years is Iqbal. Handing Nagesh Kukunoor the cheque as producer is probably the only thing he has got right since directing Taal in 1999.

Desi Kattey
A hollow attempt to mash-up crime and sports, Desi Kattey misses the target by a margin.

Evening Shadows
The intentions may be well-placed but the outcome is a series of loud and tired cliches, which permeate the film so deeply that the subject of homosexuality appears to be the only “original” aspect of it.
