Toonpur Ka Superrhero
Even if it might be the best animation film to come out of Mumbai, it is not good enough. There's an attempt to cram everything seen in films from Hollywood in one film, whether or not there's room for the concept. Yet, it might not be a bad entertainer for kids with some caramel popcorn handy.

Mr. X
At the end, I was a little surprised and a little disappointed. Given the dilemma and the conclusion thereof, the concept deserved better screenplay and writing.

The Zoya Factor
Attempts to keep things light, which work at times and don’t at others. A film that wouldn’t kill you if you watched it, but one you wouldn’t miss if you didn’t.

Monica
You can see the sincere effort in trying to keep us interested in the events. Unfortunately, the effort is not successful because of this irrepressible urge to be stylish and muck around with the timeline in the narrative.

Rowdy Rathore
Some witty lines and their perfect delivery try to compensate for the complete lack of plot and logic.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan
The sentiment carries the film rather than the star, for a change. Yet, film too long to do justice to a theater outing.

Tere Bin Laden Dead Or Alive
Promising premise. Interesting situations get repetitive, jokes unfunny and film bizarre.

Tiger Zinda Hai
The regular action fare – nothing more than you expect but nothing less either.

Ragini MMS
...has nothing new in the general story or the details, given the genre of supernatural, horror stuff.

David
David is a slick and classy struggle between right and wrong. If only all three stories had enough meat to make for a 2+ hour film. Only 1.5 of the 3 do.

Dolly Ki Doli
A strange case of you being on the side of the wrong-doer. Entertaining, though only in bits.

A Gentleman
Comedy, action, romance – An above average entertainer in each of those elements. But, put together it becomes just about average.

Baaghi 2
I am pleasantly surprised by the attempt at a detailed story. That, in the end, it all turns out to be rather ‘meh’ as expected, is another matter.

Helicopter Eela
A different but thin story-line that stretches too long, most of which you know from the trailer, including the 2-3 funny lines. ‘Different’ gets some points though.

Judgemental Hai Kya
The quirks are well placed and done well too. The basic plot though tries to make us believe it is complex and its characters have complexities, but that’s only skin deep. Ultimately then, the film feels like an experiment that doesn’t land too well.

Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan
In its attempt to keep things light, the film becomes loud and meanders. In its attempt to make a point, it breaks into spurts of short speeches. In the one aspect, it wants to create awareness about, it doesn’t go beyond a couple of wisecracks.

Ishqiya
Once you believe in the story, its well told. But even after the plot has unfolded there's a huge gap in understanding the characters.

Isi Life Mein
A misfit in the 00's despite being relevant, Isi Life Mein is as much an irony as it is a shame.

Finding Fanny
The much promised eccentricity doesn't live throughout and you slowly lose interest in characters in this character-centric film. Yet worth a watch for the performances even if some are caricatures.

Soorma
A potentially uplifting story made ordinary and flat by this style of narration.

Aarakshan
...is, what I call, a bell-curve film. Starts shabbily, reaches a peak around mid-way and ends more shabbily than it started.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan
...is a romance that does woo you at times you least expect it. But for most parts it doesn't let you forget that it is after all a film.

Aligarh
It is an important film. It is a courageous film even. The film does some things really well. But, it isn't necessarily an absorbing one.

Good Newwz
A story different from the norm gets short-changed because it is treated with a loud dose of melodrama.
