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

Lamhaa
...a no-holds-barred look at the multi-layered turmoil in Kashmir, with so many real-life references that you end up with just one conclusion: now here's a real film about a real problem.

Red Alert
It may be politically correct in its tenor, but Red Alert does make you sit up and demand attention.

It's a brave effort to create a lost world, but alas! Bollywood has marched miles ahead from the days of yore and yelldom.

Mr. Singh Mrs. Mehta
The film is a refreshing walk off the beaten Bollywood track and scores on its minimalist approach to matrimonial discord.

Ek Second...Jo Zindagi Badal De
Need to pump in some more dum, both in the drama and the star cast to enable the film to have an impact that lasts beyond Ek Second.

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....

Kushti
Rajpal Yadav...manages to get a lot of film makers who are willing to weave films around him... Sometimes he manages to carry them off and sometimes he slips. Here, he just manages to maintain some ground beneath his slippery feet. But only some.

Admissions Open
Now this film did have a noble idea. But alas! Why had it to be so ignobly done.

Bumm Bumm Bole
...is fine vacation fare for the family and presents a viable alternative to parents who are looking for meaningful tween entertainment in a boom-boom age.

Badmaash Company
...may not be as buoyant as Bunty aur Babli, the original badmash couple in recent cinema, but it does make for some merry viewing.

It's a Wonderful Afterlife
It's a Wonderful Afterlife could have...would have...should have...but all it does is end up as average fare: Indian curry yes, yet minus the tangy flavour.

Housefull
It's literally slapstick humour, with a lot of slaps flying around between simians and humans, humans and humans. Nevertheless, it makes you laugh, provided you don't go looking for artistry and intelligence.

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.

Muskurake Dekh Zara
...everybody on screen just keeps talking and talking and talking. And what's more irritating is the fact that you can't get a hang of what they are actually debating, discussing, questioning, stating...'coz nothing makes sense in the melee of nonsense that explodes across the screen...

Apartment
...this one's another of those sundry lifts from Hollywood films, repackaged as desi kitsch. But what's there to complain about?

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

Paathshaala
...the emotional quotient and the topicality of the film keep the interest running. Go for some serious viewing.

Prince
They reportedly took Rs 50 crores to make this film and can you believe it? They forgot to hire a story writer for it!

Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai
The film may not boast of a great story, a scintillating script, but it has enough to keep you smiling.

The Japanese Wife
If you really care about aesthetics and have been hungering for something that will satiate your finer sensibilities -- battered by now, by the relentless onslaught of kitsch -- you must grab a dekko...
