Zubaan
...might test your patience but it is heartbreaking in parts. Luckily, the melodrama is kept at bay even when the protagonist finds himself divided between materialism and mirth.

Zubaan
In an industry which throws up such an abysmal record when it comes to producing viable children's films, any attempt that can slightly hold your interest is more than welcome. And that is where Zokkomon scores.

Zindagi Tere Naam
Director Zoya Akhtar follows up Luck By Chance with another sensitive and entertaining study of people, even as she gives Bollywood it's first full blown contemporary road movie.

Zindagi 50-50
The film is full of cliches and topics that have been addressed in movies a billion times before.

Zila Ghaziabad
Riddled with grotesque characteristics and cliches of most gang-banger films...

Zid
The performances are forgettable and flaws scream out loud. The climax tries to shock, but leaves you shaken and wondering - whose zid was this anyway?

Zero
While the film has a wealth of references to Bollywood and its stars, these details don’t compensate for a story that starts with a beautiful plot, but takes off on a bizarre ride.

Zed Plus
The subject matter could have been interesting but it is mired in tedious, very boring, rural and regional cliches that audiences have already seen, so many times.

Zanjeer
...this film should be judged as a stand-alone offering because attempts to compare the two versions will find the current one falling short, especially in the dialogue and music departments.

Youngistaan
Afzal's 'Youngistaan' at the core is an interesting idea, far-fetched, but refreshing. The love-story develops tenderly, but the political backdrop and ensuing drama is not crafted with clarity. The story suffers from uninspiring dialogues, with a stretched climax.

Yeh Saali Aashiqui
...Vardhan has shown immense range in his unconventional debut and is a talent to watch out for.

Yeh Khula Aasmaan
For a movie that's supposed to be inspirational, director (Gitanjali Sinha) gives us blah lines, lackluster story-telling - which is emotional at times, with an exhaustingly slow pace - weakening the script further.

Yeh Jo Mohabbat Hai
With the Mother of all cliches (acting directing, costumes, dialogues), a mash of several love stories, and a fatigued formula, the director loses the plot; if there was one to begin with.

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
An alive, fresh vibe dominates Ayan Mukerji's Yeh Jaawani Hai Deewani invigorating you through it's entire run. The story is not novel, but the treatment is A-grade.

Yeh Hai Lollipop
...the snail’s pace at which the story moves and its two-dimensional execution, weighs the film down completely.

Yeh Hai Bakrapur
...the film is as unique as superstar Shah Rukh Khan, but it lacks his charisma.

Yeh Hai Bakrapur
The film does show flashes of substance and form, but there's a whole lot of flab that renders it formless.

Yeh Dooriyan
A brave attempt, Yeh Dooriyan needed a dash of polish and a healthier dose of story.

Yea Toh Two Much Ho Gayaa
The film suffers from a wannabe syndrome. It wants to do a lot but only ends up making the viewer say 'Yea toh too much ho gaya'.

Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se
...sure bears the hallmarks of a loud comedy, but loses much of its steam in the second half and culminates into a predictable climax.

Yamla Pagla Deewana 2
Minus 30 minutes, YPD 2 could have been much funnier - and much shorter.

Yamla Pagla Deewana 2
The film is meant to showcase the Deol charisma. And that it manages to do, despite a clumsy first-half and a stodgy script.

Yaariyan
...is nothing to gush about, but the teenies can watch this one for a lark...and some yo-yo beats!

Yaaram
The basic problem of the film is that the characters lack depth, and for the story of this nature, the dialogues barely add weight.

It may have started out as a noble intention, but the film's execution is outdated and comes across as cliched.

X: Past is Present
It is tolerable in parts, sometimes inventive, often mediocre but never half-as-good as it claims to be.

Will You Marry Me?
...a weak script to begin with, a story that loses the plot from the word 'Go' and an unmoving narrative...
