Hisss
..neither a feminist tale nor a slice of mythology. So much so, the film backfires both ways...

Dus Tola
The problem with Dus Tola is its archaic story which simply doesn't connect with the new age audience.

Jhootha Hi Sahi
...largely follows the idiom which Abbas Tyrewala enunciated in his debut venture, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, reiterating his use of youthful lingo (strange becomes ajeebs here), wisecrack humour and 'cool gang' bonding, with a celebration -- and a spoof -- of the traditional Bollywood 'andaaz' (style) of essaying romance.

Lava Kusa
The film is too long. The language is too archaic. The animation is too flat. The narrative has too many songs. The action sequences lack testosterone.

Benny and Babloo
Too moralistic, too judgmental, Benny and Babloo doggedly treads the trodden path, filling you with viewer fatigue.

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.

Robot
...primarily designed as an unadulterated tribute to the charisma of Indian cinema's ageless superstar, Rajnikanth. And it's completely, wholeheartedly, joyously desi.

Anjaana Anjaani
The director chooses to use the format of a road movie to weave his romantic story. Only, the road seems to be a bit long and too straight. There aren't too many twists and turns in this cross-country cruise; and the ones that are there, are quite-quite predictable.

For Real
...a completely non-filmy approach to story-telling and character-building and you have a film that scores well on the freshness and reality quotient.

Life Express
...a confused attempt that doesnt know whether to celebrate the modern woman or condemn her.

Dabangg
...designed as a vehicle to showcase the star charisma of Salman Khan and the actor literally hits bull's eye. He has a ball on screen and makes sure you join the party too.

We Are Family
You end up squeezing a lot of wet tissues -- specially in the second half -- by the time the movie ends and walk out with a leaden heart.

Peepli [Live]
The high point of the film indeed is its smart and sassy script. But more than all this, it's the life-like portrayals that add a refreshing authenticity to the film.

The film is too long and has too much of high-pitched drama, leaving room for too little of the laughter circus.
