Daas Dev
...has its high points but in totality the film doesn’t grip you. For those who are expecting a film like 'Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi', one of Sudhir Mishra’s earlier films which artfully combined politics and love, this contemporary take on Devdas will leave you wanting for more.

Nanu Ki Jaanu
...when it turns into a whodunit in the second half and a new emotional angle is introduced, it falls completely flat. Neither the performances nor an ever changing storyline, where newer characters are introduced, help pick it up.

Beyond The Clouds
Majidi's subject matter might seem to be repetitive, but the famed director's take on redemption is fleshed out by strong performances to make 'Beyond the Clouds' another notable entry in his filmography.

Baaghi 2
With better editing and a taut screenplay this one would have packed a stronger punch. Nonetheless, for fans of the action genre, Baaghi 2 can be a one-time watch.

Baa Baaa Black Sheep
It pains to see actors as brilliant as Anupam Kher, Annu Kapoor and Kay Kay Menon, being a part of this silly, loud and torturous comedy of errors that you care nothing about, eventually.

Raid
...is a film that caters to public sentiment against black money and corruption. All in all, this one’s right on the money.

Raja Abroadiya
With an overkill of songs and a plot that has gaping holes when it comes to who loves whom and why, there is little in the film to appreciate.

Dil Juunglee
Barring the earnest performances of the lead actors and the supporting cast, there’s absolutely nothing wild or memorable about Dil Juunglee.

Hamne Gandhi Ko Maar Diya
The intent is good and so are the actors in it. But, the script and direction, especially cinematography, is below average.

Pari
If you like horror as a genre, and prefer a genuine theme over sheer succession of scary sequences, you will like this one, which isn’t bound by the diktats of commercial cinema.

Pari
The biggest let-down is the script and the various tracks in the narrative don’t always come together as a whole and seem contrived.

Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety
Despite the odds, this bromance vs romance comedy works as an exciting guessing game to predict who’ll end up as the third wheel — best friend or girlfriend?

Aiyaary
Those expecting the clever Neeraj Pandey twists will probably be left wanting more. But ‘Aiyaary’ has measured performances that resound louder than its bombastic score, and they alone make it a worthwhile watch.

My Birthday Song
...a complex story such as this one needs an experienced filmmaker. Also, the fact that the story is layered and there are multiple timelines running through the film, the treatment could have been slicker.

1921
The problem with '1921' is, that Vikram Bhatt has added too much of a story to it. While the ghosts he has created do manage to scare you, they pop-up like such overzealousness and dedication so often, that after the interval, you are almost numb to their presence.

Kaalakaandi
Even as you continue to watch the film patiently, beyond a point, it's nothing to write home about. You eventually sum up your thoughts on the film by borrowing the film's expletive-laden dialogue —, 'experimental ke naam pe chu*****'?

Tiger Zinda Hai
