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

...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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

...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.

...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...

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