Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana
...a light-hearted feel-good film that will make you leave the cinema with a smile on your face.

Chakravyuh
While the film does indulge itself in melodrama, it chooses to place the onus on the actors, who turn in arguably career-best performances.

Student Of The Year
What I dislike most about 'Student of the Year' - and there are many things I dislike – is that it endorses teens behaving like they’re in their twenties.

Aiyyaa
While it isn’t so much a fresh idea as an idea making a comeback, it could have been well-executed if Meenakshi’s character had been fleshed out to some extent.

Heroine
...the most damning aspect of the film is that neither Kareena Kapoor’s character nor her portrayal of it elicits our empathy.

Barfi!
Every once in a while, along comes a movie that urges us to look beyond its trappings. To lose ourselves in the lives of its characters, and the simple, but powerful, emotions that touch their lives.

Joker
The only sentiment I was left with at the end of the film was, “Joker ko cinema se nikaalkar taash ki gaddi pe daalo".

Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi
With just enough sentiment, and maybe a little too much slapstick, Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi, makes for a pleasant enough weekend watch.

Gangs Of Wasseypur 2
...sustains interest with its lively pace, packed action, and brilliant repartee.

Jism - 2
If you went in prepared for a ham fest garnished with soft porn, you might actually enjoy this movie.

Cocktail
It hurtles along the same old path most of its breed do. And somehow, a film that’s sidestepped melodrama for the first hour or so, turns maudlin.

Bol Bachchan
...a tortuous trail of hamming, dancing, swearing, scratching and... of course, punning.

Maximum
...has all the right ingredients, but with several layers of extra garnish, it tastes wrong.

Gangs Of Wasseypur
...it’s a larger-than-life experience, a display of cinematic license meant for the big screen.

Shanghai
In a film that has more heavy breathing and silence than dialogue, it’s a remarkable feat of Banerjee’s to portray the corruption everyone takes for granted as such a frustrating, and yet comical, thing that affects us only when it confronts us.

...this is just a headache-causing flick in the name of innovative filmmaking.

Jannat 2
The film has the right ingredients in the wrong proportions. As it stands, you’ll have to depend on hecklers for entertainment.

Housefull 2
A film as vacuously funny as 'Housefull 2' is the perfect weekend break. Go watch it for the mindless fun and dancy numbers.

Blood Money
It’s one of those films which sucks when you see the end coming, and entertains when you don’t.

Kahaani
The only thing worse than the storyline of this film is the pop version of 'Ekla Cholo Re', which is part of its soundtrack.

London Paris New York
As the film collapses into an end as unimaginative as its title, try as one might to empathies with Nikhil Chopra, one ends up sympathizing with Ali Zafar.

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu
...is definitely one of the best romantic comedies I’ve seen, and I’m not talking about just Indian ones.

Ekk Deewana Tha
There are way too many twists in the film-within-a-film-within-a-film narrative to make for a coherent watch.

Don 2
For all the sketchily etched sub-plots, and the contorted trails of the fabric of the story, it’s threadbare enough to be entirely banal.
