  • Kahaani

    Sujoy Ghosh is capable of delivering a tight script. He shows us that you can make a Hindi movie without songs and nobody will miss them.

  • Players

    ...it never makes the mistake of taking itself too seriously and manages to successfully Bollywood-ise a Hollywood speciality - the big-budget heist movie.

  • Desi Boyz

    The movie is judgement-free, but it's also very pat. Buried underneath the piles of clothes discarded by Rocco and Hunter is a full-on sex comedy that's dying to come out.

  • Ra.One

    ...there's ultimately no escaping the poorly drawn characters, Khan's weird mannerisms and the surfeit of references to the male nether regions.

  • Force

    ...isn't quite as offensive as some other recent releases, but it neither captures the thrills of the original nor fixes the flaws.

  • Shabri

    There's the same catatonic acting, the staccato dialogue delivery, the bursts of violence, the over-loud background score, the strange camera angles, the crooked cops and larger-than-life thugs. Perhaps it's time to give the Mumbai gangster genre a rest.

  • Bodyguard

    Until somebody comes up with a smart way to channelise his brawny appeal and knack for self-deprecating humour – as Abhinav Singh Kashyap did in Dabanng – we are condemned to watch bad films repeat themselves.

  • Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

    The suggestion that emotional tangles can be unravelled by putting on a diving suit is daffy, but Zoya Akhtar's talent lies in creating rich characters that you're likely to remember afterwards even if you don't recall what they actually ended up doing.

  • Delhi Belly

    While Khan and off-screen stand up comedian Das also live up to their parts, the film doesn't work in bits. There's no real emotional core to the characters.

  • Chillar Party

    ...as soon as the kids take up matters bigger than their size and become preachy, the film loses its spark. Sometimes it is better to let kids be kids.
