Mastram
The film that had a lot of potential, but what's missing is the 'woh wali baat'.

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

Hawaa Hawaai
Hawaa Hawaai's inspiring story is for children, for the child in all of us and for adults who need to wake up to dream again.

Angry Young Man
Action junkies may not mind watching this one. For the rest, revisit Vijay Deenanath Chauhan instead.

Kahin Hai Mera Pyar
The first half drags to death, while the second lacks purpose and defies logic.

Kya Dilli Kya Lahore
Without the usual trappings of filmi fanfare, this story has its heart in the right place - pure and undivided.

Kaanchi
...Mr Ghai you're the maker of Kaalicharan, Vishwanath, Karz, Hero, Ram Lakhan, Karma, Pardes and Taal. Permit us to just rewind to your past glory.

Samrat & Co.
The film is predominantly a formulaic 'whodunit' thriller, which aspires to be Sherlock Holmes but ends up looking like its parody.

Revolver Rani
...is loaded with a lot more than just gunpower. You'll enjoy biting this bullet.

2 States
If you are in a mood for a Bollywood family saga with measured melodrama and the right amount of naach-gaana, visit 2 States.

Bhoothnath Returns
The first-half has wittily written scenes - strung with satire and emotion, but the story slowly turns into a tedious vocational course on voting.

Jal
The story scatters often like a fistful of sand, yet, for those seeking something different, go quench your thirst.

Main Tera Hero
It has the depth of a comic strip but it also has its neon-shaded fun. For those who want a light laugh, here's your boy.

Station
Ideally, this concept could have worked better for a short film or a play. Nonetheless, watch it for the nonlinear narrative.

Dishkiyaoon
For an action thriller, the narrative pace is so languid, you can take your popcorn and pee break between the times when two bullets are fired.

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.

Gang of Ghosts
Clearly, makers like Kaushik, who had a formidable box office record in the '90s remaking South Indian films, need to borrow modern-day technique and storytelling tactics to keep the ever-evolving viewer engaged.

Ragini MMS - 2
For horror-buffs this might not be 'spookilicious' enough, but those looking for a 'sun-sunny' weekend, go lap it up!

Ankhon Dekhi
What however doesn't work for the film is the fact that it borders on abstract at regular intervals and lacks continuity, making a few scenes and conversations seem out-of-context. Nonetheless, the film is emotionally liberating.

Lakshmi
...based on a harrowing true story, is a thought-provoking, disturbing film told with heartbreaking detail and a narrative that is so raw and ruthlessly realistic, it often becomes repulsive.

Sandcastle
Under the broad umbrella of Sandcastle's overall feminist import and the examination of aspects related to the female psyche, it is a film about self-realization and identity, but one that could have been told better.

Bewakoofiyaan

Gulaab Gang
Considering the subject's intense power and the charisma of these stars, the movie's hesitation with how to proceed stands out.

Queen
...director Vikas Bahl. This is his first solo outing. Earlier he co-directed the National-Award winning 'Chillar Party' with Nitesh Tiwari. Bollywood should blow bugles in his honour.
