Holiday
A decent enough plot butchered by filmi-ness viz, dialogue-baazi, overt style, romantic track, songs and so on.

Kochadaiiyaan
...a sore disappointment primarily because of the poor quality of animation and VFX.

Heropanti
...the makers, with a 100% fresh starcast don't even attempt to break any mould is disheartening.

Children Of War
...a beautifully shot, disturbing film that falls short of being truly special because of the lack of an emotional core.

Kya Dilli Kya Lahore
A neat little film with large intentions. Give it a go for a rare, decent war film.

Revolver Rani
Such a shame. A woman-centric film and all that. Hard to like despite the quirks.

Samrat & Co.
...an unfortunate recreation of Sherlock Holmes in an Indian setting, one that miserably fails in its mission.

Kaanchi
With gratingly bad performances and a poorly written script that doesn't quite know what to do with its noble intentions, the film's greatest redeeming quality is that it ends.

2 States
...provides instant gratification primarily because of a charming lead cast and an excellent supporting cast that rises above the rather tame writing.

Bhoothnath Returns
Though it is a tad too naïve and preachy, and a little too long for it's own good, the film attempts to make a point that a number of us can learn from; it is a well-acted film with some genuine moments.

Youngistaan
I hope young India's vision is not as shallow, superficial or short-sighted.

Lakshmi
...a very difficult and intense watch - for women, for sure, and hopefully for men too.

Bewakoofiyaan
Despite desperate attempts to be different, Bewakoofiyaan is only as interesting as the ups and downs of any relationship in trouble.

Gulaab Gang
Something that could have had so much meat and punch, becomes just another common (wo)man vs. system film.

Shaadi Ke Side Effects
A shallow, even if truthful for some couples, take on marriage. Past the one-liners in the trailer, Shaadi Ke Side Effects is more-or-less stuck in a rut.

Highway
A warm yet emotionally violent story that sweeps you off your feet, but for a few scenes that go amiss.

Gunday
As predictable as a movie could get, Gunday's "twist" is the most laughable of them all.

Hasee Toh Phasee
A girl-meets-boy story with a difference. A girl-meets-boy story which works despite typical moments that qualify a film as a romantic comedy.

One By Two
An attempt at being fun, cute, and philosophical. You wish it were an attempt with more conviction. Yet, a decent TV watch.

Very rarely, do I say this about a film, but this once I have to - there go two and a half hours of my life.

Dedh Ishqiya
Slow, long and yet it balances between taking its poetry too seriously and dumbing it down for our benefit. Only a few spots you wish were polished a tad better.
