Bhaiaji Superhittt
Bhaiaji Superhit also tells the audience to be wary of incorrectly spelt titles that are a camouflage for utterly exasperating, excruciatingly boring films.

A Flying Jatt
A clunky script, comic book flat characters and a wafer-thin plot are propped up by needless song-n-dance routines, juvenile SFX and innumerable fights and confrontations.

Commando 2
...is an action film that decides to wear another mask; of topicality, social consciousness and patriotism, all for the heck of it. In the process the film loses its own identity entirely.

Gunday
If only the director had the guts to channel all the sexual tension into a Brokeback Mountain-esque love story instead of this faux bromance. Unfortunately, the characters are completely in denial of this chemistry and stick to the unwritten rules of the System.

Saat Uchhakkey
...would have worked better had it been shorter, sharper with a strong story to tell. If only this film and its maker knew when and where to stop.

Pagalpanti
...this could have become a fairly decent satire. But that’s like asking for the moon and wishing Anees Bazmee was Kundan Shah.

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

Prakash Electronic
Things happen rather randomly on screen—the twists, turns, misunderstandings and reconciliations—and somehow something like a film gets cobbled together.

Commando 3
Here’s yet another shamefully opportunistic film that plays on the bad Muslim-good Muslim divide.

Bol Bachchan
If you liked Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Golmaal, which you sure did, you would want to protest this assault on one of the effortlessly funny films of all time. Here, the effort shows in every scene.

Creature
...a kind of kindergarten for the seekers of chills and frills that feeds on the appetite of the galleries for shock and sleaze.

Sanam Teri Kasam
Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru spin a modern, urban fairytale, albeit a gloomy, miserable one, which, in the name of being a woman-centric film, has one of the most feeble, helpless heroines seen in recent Hindi cinema...

Aiyyaa
Wake up-um, makers... and smell the oothappam. This is not a plot-um that lends itself to be watched for this long-um.

Mahabharat
Mahabharat deserves a liberal reading but apart from Karna’s episode Amaan has remained true to the traditional rendering of the epic and there is hardly any effort to delve into the moral dilemmas of the characters.

Dangerous Ishhq
So long that a ticket to purgatory hell seems like the better bargain between the two.

Hate Story 2
It is a predictable story that pans out in a predictable fashion with the galleries treated to tastefully shot skin show.

Housefull 3
Housefull 3’s brighter moments are owed to Akshay Kumar and fleetingly by Jackie Shroff – for the rest it’s all puerile silliness.

Haseena Parkar
Don’t go looking for a Shabana Azmi-like assured turn (in Godmother) from Kapoor. She is unable to rise above her age, despite trying to emote way too earnestly in some scenes.

Tera Intezaar
...is most consistent when it comes to the inherent messiness-it’s tacky in every which way, from the first frame to the last. The tawdriness reflects in every single department of filmmaking.

Sunshine Music Tours and Travels
Shailendra Singh of Percept that organises Sunburn has just used the film as an excuse for brand promotion, stringing the fest footage with an apology of a story and a non existent script.

Raaz Reboot
Nothing changes in the fourth of the Raaz franchisee. If at all the chills and thrills seem to run dangerously out of steam and some scenes turn out unintentionally funny.

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