R... Rajkumar
...is downright crass, irresponsibly insensitive, extremely disturbing and in very poor taste.

Bullett Raja
Dhulia here is not paying tribute to the B movie in his own distinctive style. He is announcing himself to be a B movie maker with Bullett Raja. Or maybe he tried tribute but has been unable to lend this an iota of creativity or class.

Ram-leela
If you are in the mood for a sensory overdose, this might just be your favourite Bhansali film. Else, just go watch it for the leads. They are scorching hot and super talented. And that just might be reason enough.

Boss
Yet another tribute to the escapist entertainers of yore? Ok then, this kind of lazy filmmaking deserves to be hit. With a scale.

War Chhod Na Yaar
This silly, simplistic and conveniently resolved war comedy will make you smile a few times.

Besharam
An old-fashioned masala film that winks at the seventies and the eighties but ends up looking dated.

The Lunchbox
...is heartwarming, introspective, romantic, bittersweet and feel good, all at once.

Grand Masti
...nothing more than cheap revelry that can be watched only for some corny jokes.

John Day
Logic, pace and tautness are the main ingredients of a thriller and Solomon’s work disappoints on all the three counts.

Zanjeer
An unwarranted remake, this time it is the turn of the audience to turn angry!

Satyagraha
Despite the terribly staged chaos in the climax, Satyagraha is a film to watch not because it is relevant but also because it is a responsible review. Of passion. Of paths we choose. And the politics around.

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.

Chennai Express
By the end, the hollowness becomes too glaring to be covered by Shah Rukh’s presence or Deepika’s charm.

Bajatey Raho
...is like that song on the radio that you have heard a few times before but don't mind only because it’s better than the songs playing on other stations.

D-Day
A gripping, racy, well-paced thriller that is populist, reductionist and politically naive.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
Farhan’s terrific, the film melodramatic, mostly good but should have been rightly called ‘Chal Milkha Bahut Time Hai’ given its slow, indulgent pace.

Lootera
...I found myself restless in my seat, bored by the indulgence of a filmmaker to turn what seemed like a short, fun story with a smart twist on paper into an unwarranted drama with epic delusions of tragedy.

Policegiri
Sanjay deserves a better image-boost and we need a break from the clones of Dabangg.

Ghanchakkar
...though it is fun as you watch it unfold, it is also mostly forgettable, offering us very few moments to hold on to.

Shortcut Romeo
In an effort to make it look cool, it is not just the performances, even the cinematography and action look put on and jerky.

Raanjhanaa
This should do to Dhanush what Saagar did for Kamal Haasan and what Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa did for Shah Rukh Khan. India will fall in love, again.
