De Dana Dan
...a film that begins soundly and then slips into cuckoo land, only because the primary characters and their story is side-tracked for a compendium of tertiary tales.

Hum Tum Aur Ghost
...all we are left with are a few sequences of fun, followed by long-drawn drama.

10ml Love
...a short, lighthearted film. It's a decent watch, provided you don't expect great humour.

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

Hamari Adhuri Kahani
While middle-class values are to be lauded; the writing of HAK comes unstuck.

Shreelancer
...feels like a promising assignment that started out great but succumbed to a fast-approaching deadline.

Jhootha Kahin Ka
...has a few moments of comic relief towards the end but overall the film leaves much to be desired.

Baaghi 3
There are ample of slo-mo shots, deafening explosions and lethal punches in ‘Baaghi 3’. But none of it can rise beyond a weak script that doesn’t go for the kill.

Veer
...there's nothing left to hold your attention in this prolonged misadventure that loses a lot due to a tardy screenplay, a headless script and an old-fashioned direction.

Phoonk 2
...just another run-of-the-mill horror film and doesn't do anything to lift the genre to another level altogether.

Ab Hoga Dharna Unlimited
It's a cheeky little film - but you may find the laughter a challenge.

Gangoobai
...doesn't sweep your heart away, but leaves you with some sweet, feel-good moments.

Ishkq In Paris
Preity Zinta's maiden production has its aesthetics in place. Paris is enchanting. The actress is good but there ends the show.

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.

Barefoot To Goa
The film had the potential to be way more effective; nonetheless, it's a sincere effort that deserves to be acknowledged.

Commando 2
Overstretched and uninspiring, this film is reminiscent of a poor man's Abbas Mustan film. Even decent action cannot salvage this dreary supposed crime thriller.

The Wishing Tree
There’s a lot for the little ones to enjoy and learn, but we just wish that the film had a stronger plot that were realized in a better way.

Kaalakaandi
Even as you continue to watch the film patiently, beyond a point, it's nothing to write home about. You eventually sum up your thoughts on the film by borrowing the film's expletive-laden dialogue —, 'experimental ke naam pe chu*****'?

Khap
...a bit of subtlety and a more artistic vision would have gone a long way in creating a strong social document on screen.

Maazii
...a dark, haunting and unconventional tale of crime and redemption. In spite of no big names associated with it, it manages to hold your attention till the end.

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.

Hawaizaada
On one level, Hawaizaada works because this story about India's unsung hero needs to find its place. But this realm depends heavily on performances - the histrionics could be several notches higher.

Flight
...circles around the systematic abuse of money and power the aviation-manufacturing industry is allegedly plagued with but from the way this tale’s shaped up to the way the makers have executed it on screen, we would say it shouldn’t have left the runway in the first place.

Ramaiya Vastavaiya
This one's like a pretty field decked up in celebration, but with no real harvest to show.

Sniff
With a stronger sub-plot, this would have been a sweet, wholesome affair. The film has the ability to fly, but strangely decides to walk.

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.

Bhindi Baazaar Inc.
The film takes too long to get on course and is cluttered with loose, untidy bits that need to be edited out.
