Fuddu
Heavier on visuals than emotions, it delivers no message nor answers any questions. Too thin to be a slice of life, this one.

Dobaara
This one had the potential to be more, but it seems so stretched at times that you are almost willng to get behind the screen yourself and kill someone.

Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi
...despite all the good intentions and a talented cast, ‘Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi’ could not be considered an ideal family entertainer. But eventually, it turns out to be an average watch on the first day of the year.

John Day
It's gripping but like the characters, the plot is way too ambiguous, deceitful and tedious for your liking.

Missing On A Weekend
...tries to build up, a la The Usual Suspects style. It succeeds in keeping you hooked for a while but soon gets predictable.

Mera Fauji Calling

Welcome 2 Karachi
It's an average fare which could've been far better had its meanderings been trimmed.

Vishwaroop II
...despite having some genuinely good moments, the film tries to put forth a little too much, a little too quickly.

Bhoot – Part One
While the film’s runtime is short, the pace seems exhausting because most of the scenes are concluded abruptly, leaving you waiting for the big reveal. However, the all-important backstory isn’t convincing enough to make your wait worth it.

Four Two Ka One
This formulaic comedy of errors won't make you laugh out loud but it doesn't bore you either.

Rajjo
Vishwas Patil probably had a heart-wrenching story, but he's unable he exploit his cast well, or narrate a tale that's coherent, consistent or engaging.

Dozakh
Zaigham Imam's story is much stronger than his amateur execution. Nonetheless it deserves to be seen for its sheer thought, which is brilliant.

It's a Wonderful Afterlife
It's a Wonderful Afterlife could have...would have...should have...but all it does is end up as average fare: Indian curry yes, yet minus the tangy flavour.

Love Breakups Zindagi
Not quite the perfect debut from Sahil Sangha as director and Dia and Zayed as producers, Love Breakups Zindagi should be treated as a stepping stone to something more substantial -- and original -- from the threesome.

The Fakir Of Venice
Had the makers worked on the screenplay and made it a tad more complex, it would have been a great film...

PM Narendra Modi
Whether you believe or don’t believe in the political philosophy of Narendra Modi is secondary, as a film, this one is too lopsided for you to appreciate. It leaves a lot unanswered. While it firmly believes ‘Modi ek insaan nahi, soch hai’, we wish the script was as thoughtful.

In all fairness, Pulkit and Yami breathe life into their characters. We wish they were not saddled with such a lacklustre script.

Mantostaan
...seems like the first draft of a potentially unputdownable book. A slightly more experienced filmmaker would have done wonders with it. But in this state, it’s like a decent read with a great epilogue.

Thugs Of Hindostan
Apart from the stray funny moments and consistently good visuals (thanks to decent CGI efforts), 'TOH' doesn’t really have the punch or the thrill that is required to pull off a film of this scale.

Dunno Y Na Jaane Kyun...
There is a degree of sensitivity while tackling the homosexual relationship, nevertheless the drama lacks punch and the conclusion becomes self-defeatist.
