The film is meant to showcase the Deol charisma. And that it manages to do, despite a clumsy first-half and a stodgy script.

Refreshing, unusual and unlike your typical women-oriented films, Turning 30 marks an addition to the increasing tribe of intelligent women directors.

...the high drama, the arresting performances and the spunky audio track (Amit Trivedi) make NOKJ a memorable viewing.

A bit of chopping, sifting and editing would have worked wonders for the film.

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?

...the film unfolds as one long play rehearsal and doesn't seem to move forward after a point. The relationship between the big city boy and the small town girl is confined to an exchange of smiles and smiles and some more smiles: too many cold exchanges between the two debutants.

Jai Gangaajal
Generously sprinkled with easily identifiable characters and a story that reiterates the need for families to bond and good to prevail over evil -- sweet, simple, succinct kiddy themes...

...the horror exists only as long as Kaalo stays out of the frame as an ominous presence in the backdrop. Once the apparition flies into the frame, the fear ironically flees because Kaalo seems to be having a bad make-up day.

Payback
With a bit of polish and better performances from the other players, it could have been a winner.

...the film is a flat narration of an event with no attempt at character building and dramatic rendering.

332 Mumbai To India
Even as the women seem to be enjoying themselves with their unbridled expression of their sexual needs, the film tends to view them as the traditional not-to-be-trusted temptress. Overlook that and you can enter a world where women indeed are full-bodied flesh and blood characters.

Rakht Charitra 2
The film essentially belongs to the action director (Javed-Aejaz), since it is basically a montage of finely-crafted, high-on-adrenalin action sequences.

The high point of Gowariker's film is the fact that it combines high-octane drama with a high degree of restraint.

The high point of the film are its strong performances and its authentic backdrop.

Break Ke Baad
Nothing dramatic, just fresh: Break Ke Baad is the other flavour of romance. One that you don't find in run-of-the mill Mills and Boon masala.

Break Ke Baad
A film like Guzaarish isn't made for the box office. It's made for the gratification of the senses. And that it does, in ample measure.

The film does have a few rough edges and needs a bit of editing. But it exudes a sense of novelty that keeps the moments ticking.

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

Action Replayy
...the retro idiom works...But only till a point. The problem with Action Replayy is the going-nowhere humour track.

...a bit of romance juggled with a bit of action here to create a run-of-the-mill thriller which takes so much time to rev up, it leaves you restless.
