Dilli Gang
...an ineffective execution fails to do justice to the good intent and solid performances.

Rebellious Flower
...you wish the film had delved deeper and would have been far more profound in its approach. The story seems preachy in places and execution, oversimplistic.

Laal Rang
...is half-baked and unconvincing. Despite the grit, it never becomes a riveting film.

Beiimaan Love
The characters are inconsistent, the lines are handpicked from a Dialogue For Dummies guide and there’s a general lack of attention to detail.

Firangi
The family film isn't really tacky or repulsive, it's outright boring and that's probably worse because it's not even unintentionally entertaining.

Commando 3
The narrative is far-fetched, defies logic and tries to pack in so much that it loses grip and pace at times. The background score attempts to elevate the drama, but is often overbearing.

What The Fish
The 'idea' behind the movie can be appreciated for its novelty but it fails to develop into a full-fledged comedy of errors, which was the intention.

Jaanisaar
...it's a case of cinematic self-indulgence that doesn't deserve to be compared to Ali's masterpiece Umrao Jaan.

Once Upon A Time In Bihar
The inability to expand the basic idea into a solid story lets this otherwise well-intentioned film down.

Ishq Forever
Lack of originality and the cliche-laden script can be forgiven, provided the chemistry between the lead couple ticks. Sadly, it doesn't so the scenes fall flat.

Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi
With a choppy edit, over the top performances by all and an overkill of hate on Paresh Rawal's part, it resembles a TV show more than a film.

Sab Kushal Mangal
What works against the film is not its story but the execution that suffers from weak writing and missed opportunities for an impactful social satire.

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

Bhoot And Friends
Why must our desi story tellers and film makers treat children's films as a neglected step child, a poor cousin that can be passed off as popular entertainment, despite an abysmal lack of the fun element?

One Night Stand
Even with a compelling idea, One Night Stand remains singularly superficial.

Love Ke Funday
It is hard to be generous when you are sitting through bad writing, bad acting and a lot of bad jokes.

Pankh
Too surrealistic, too unfocussed, this gender-bender tale engages, but only in bits and parts.

Mummy Punjabi
The problem with Mummy Punjabi lies in the fact that it is neither a comedy nor a serious film, just something in-between. Wonder who is the target audience!

Jigariyaa
A cliched story and sluggish pace are major drawbacks. If it wasn't for that, Jigariyaa could have been a film worth remembering.

Chase
...a thriller which goes low on the thrill quotient. So much so, it tends to lose you midway, majorly due to its thin storyline, its lacklustre lead act and its thin editing.

Debutante Devika's concept might look good on paper, but onscreen it dissipates like diarrhoea.

Marudhar Express
...is an insipid amalgamation of multiple coming-of-age films weaved into one, but sans Roy Kapur’s personable screen presence, this life saga is one journey you wouldn’t regret not embarking on.
