Kya Yahi Sach Hai
...one long ear-shattering experience that makes you cringe now and then.

Mumbai Mirror
The film has a lot of Dabangg-isms, with too many brutal killings - random and ruthless and glaring flaws in the first half. Though the second half sums up the suspense - blood soaked in tragic truths and raw realities.

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.

Fugly
The result is like a soggy Delhi chaat where potentially spicy ingredients make a sorry mess. As F*ugly would phrase it, quite a f*waste.

Dharam Sankat Mein
...there's simply too much here. The story tries to accommodate a whole host of issues, fake babas to real crimes, and fails.

Tribhanga
The idea behind the movie is inspirational but ideas aren’t enough unless they make for a riveting viewing experience.

Kites
Where's the chemistry? Where's the story? And where's the twist in the tale? Kites could have been that cross-over film that Bollywood has been dreaming about since long. Sadly, it flounders even before it can take off and soar....

Tees Maar Khan
...has colour, humour, pace but nothing does seem to fall in place in terms of plot and character connect.

Hate Story 2
...even if the plot points in this vendetta drama seem asinine, with Surveen, Sunny and sex thrown in, the less pretentious will go home satiated.

Kaun Kitney Paani Mein
...touches upon a relevant issue but wraps it all too conveniently, without being confrontational.

Munna Michael
...if you’re in the mood to get rid of the monsoon blues with the foot-tapping ding dang, ding dang ditty, you should get introduced to Munna Michael; he’s not making breaking any new ground, but his moves are certainly infectious.

Love U...Mr. Kalakaar!
...another effort on the part of Rajshri Inc to create a sweet, happy, family film which focuses on the fluorescent side of romance alone.

Bodyguard
Only for diehard Salman Khan fans, Bodyguard has nothing to offer to the fastidious cineaste.

Ishk Actually
...is not actually about ishq but our notions of it so don't expect a great love story.

Ungli
The film points a finger at our society, and rightly so. But much of the film is pointless too.

Alif
...has many good points, along with a strong story, which shows how an orthodox approach to education, in this case in Islam, can ruin lives; both young and old. However, execution and performances fail this film from rising above being anything more than a film with a ‘message’.

Nanu Ki Jaanu
...when it turns into a whodunit in the second half and a new emotional angle is introduced, it falls completely flat. Neither the performances nor an ever changing storyline, where newer characters are introduced, help pick it up.

Always Kabhi Kabhi
It's all foregone and predictable apart from being inordinately long. School is agony; school is ecstasy. Always Kabhi Kabhi captures neither and treads the staid middle ground.

Aiyyaa
Even with such a talented ensemble, this one turns into a cultural showpiece, and gets lost in translation. That's the sad-partumm!

Club 60
In spite of the flaws, you can watch it solely for the immensely talented Farooque Shaikh and the sublime Sarika.

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.

Mahayoddha Rama
The movie is purely for kids, because it doesn’t offer much in the way of narrating Ramayana differently to grown-ups.

B.A. Pass 2
Eventually, you try to make too much sense of a relatively ambiguous movie, whose story progresses from being unpredictable to bizarre.

Vodka Diaries
While the mystery should be intriguing in a suspense thriller, what remains a mystery is the lack of anything intriguing.

The movie has flashes of promise but just as many, if not more, moments of amateur execution.

Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas
It’s evident that director Sunny Deol wanted to make a pure, simple love story. However, with a meatier story and better etched out characters, this one could’ve soared.
