Mr Joe B. Carvalho
Had the film been as honourable as their intentions seemed (of making a clean comedy that is neither slapstick nor adult), this genre may have actually got a fillip.

Charlie Kay Chakkar Mein
If you can keep a tab on the multiple characters and their ulterior motives, this one is quite unpredictable and keeps you guessing.

Bollywood Diaries
...even with its noble intention and strong performances, the movie never soars.

Jalebi
What could have been an interesting and quirky train ride turns into a sappy, emotional tear-filled journey that seems like it will go on forever.

Milan Talkies
...ends up becoming a goulash of commercial fare. The effort to entertain and be dramatic shows and that’s never a good sign for a film celebrating the love of cinema.

Motichoor Chaknachoor
...comes off as a mixed bag that leaves a lot to be desired in the execution department.

Dum Laga Ke Haisha
Undeniably, the smarts are visible in its original thinking but it doesn't translate into a satiating viewing experience.

Rocky Handsome
It is a classic case of style over substance. And sadly, it doesn't look stylish either. The Hindi remake of a Korean film struggles to blend action and emotion.

The Tashkent Files
...the storytelling effort is half-baked and lacks the finesse that such a heavy-duty film requires. It also doesn’t help that the final slide of the movie tells the audience that the authenticity of all the facts displayed in the film cannot be verified.

The Power
With a tighter, finer screenplay and more consistent performers, ‘The Power’ could have been a befitting response of this decade to the ‘Sarkar’ franchise but a lacklustre narrative, among other things, brings the power down to level zero.

...could actually have been a great comeback from the director who gave contemporary cinema one of its smartest comedies: Bheja Fry.

Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2
What's sad is that the squabbles between the men and their girlfriends lose steam as they are grossly exaggerated, repititive and puerile.

Sanam Teri Kasam
For a romantic drama, the film has its most essential element right - the love story is impeccable. It is mighty flawed otherwise.

Raabta
As much as you can force influences into a love story, you can’t force love itself. Neither with good-looking actors flirting with chocolates and flowers. Nor with an ambitious flashback that adds years as opposed to maturity to the plot. But Raabta relies on this kind of forced love rather than the force of love.

Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain
The problem is not with acting or cinematography, it is the script that makes what could have been an exceptional tale of loss of love, a run-of-the-mill Bollywood masala flick.

Hum Chaar
Given that the film has released during the valentine’s week, it may pique interests of young, college-going students. However, they should realise that their own lives, however dull, will seem more interesting and entertaining when compared with these characters.

Khichdi
But the test of a comedy lies in its ability to make the viewers laugh. Khichdi doesn't pass this test with flying colours.

Teen Thay Bhai
...a half-blown venture where there are too many theatrics and too many loosely edited scenes to allow the film to unfold as an uninterrupted laugh riot.

Deewana Main Deewana
The major problem is however the film's delay. Because of the decade-gap,you feel like you're watching the film on a Hindi movie channel in your house!

Amit Sahni Ki List
In spite of the smart comic punches, timing and earnest performances, the story lacks the ability to engage you thoroughly.

Rahasya
As far as execution is concerned, while the unhurried unfolding of mystery adds depth to the film, it also demands patience from the viewers, which may or may not work in its favour.

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'.

Welcome to New York
The biggest let-down is the script and the various tracks in the narrative don’t always come together as a whole and seem contrived.
