Dear Zindagi
Such a shame that a warm, cushy ambiance with interesting characters don't blend together to make an engaging film.

Khandaani Shafakhana
A public service announcement on sex education and the taboo associated with it. Wish the writing was like its heart–in the right place.

Gabbar Is Back
One of those films that delivers exactly what you expect only to leave you in a more “meh” mode than you started out with.

Dhadak
It’s like any other love story that struggles with familial approval. Since the approval is in focus, there is barely any attempt to convince you of the love. Here, the disapproval isn’t spine-chilling either.

Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga
Ultimately, falls into the category of stories that one of the film’s own characters describes: superficial. While doing so though it has some adorable moments, despite giving away way too much in its trailer. And of course, since it is issue-based, it cannot resist a predictably preachy climax.

Hum Tum Aur Ghost
Medical science and the super-natural power of seeing dead people are mixed. This would have been fine if the light vein didn’t mix so abruptly but with the overflow of sentiments. Ultimately we are left with a dissatisfactory resolution which seems unintentional.

Not A Love Story
Superlative performances hook you into a disgusting story that comes from newspapers despite RGV going even crazier with his camera and sound departments.

Banjo
Watchable for the energy that visuals can add to the upbeat, festive music. Else, very passable.

Pyaar Ka Punchnama
She's a user, he's a loser. In each of the three couples. Thank goodness for some decent lines and situations that make it a decent date film.

Shamitabh
A tribute to a baritone, Shamitabh serves well for the voice's fans. Unfortunately, stretches imagination and its length a tad much making it repetitive and tiring.

Jabariya Jodi
...is not as much a romantic comedy as it is the story of a boy trying to come out of his father’s unsavoury shadow. But the need for a rom-com climax ruins whatever little it had tried to gain in the first two hours.

Striker
The sharp dialogues support a fragmented plot. The smart visuals are accompanied by jarring background music. The story is neither about carrom nor about the communal riots. The movie is neither here nor there.

Aisha
Director, Rajeshree Ojha has decent intentions but Aisha fumbles and stumbles downhill.

Mere Dad Ki Maruti
It is laced with some hilarious one-liners and tries to be hep with youngistan lingo, but is ultimately predictable and generally silly.

Daawat-e-Ishq
A complicated way to send across a simple social message. Engages, though only in pieces.

Naam Shabana
Good news: There is a woman beating up bad man after bad man to save the world. Bad news: That is not qualification enough to make a film good.

Ittefaq
Hurried in its story-telling and a little too relaxed in its execution, Ittefaq makes the biggest mistake a thriller could make - it tells a gripping story instead of showing it.

Sahi Dhandhe Galat Bande
Parvin Dabas directs himself well. And he gets a few scenes right, but other than that his debut as a director Sahi Dhande Galat Bande doesn't engage as a film with a social message ought to.

Fukrey
Quirky and fun in the second half, it is a pain to go through in the first half though.

Manmarziyaan
Confused lovers in films bore me. I can’t empathise with them any longer. Despite that, the performances took me through, they are that good.

Tanhaji
Overt dramatisation, powerful delivery of over-written dialogue, considerably awful CGI. Yet a moderately engaging film, partly because of the story of bravery and partly because of decent performances.

Kites
Lovely locales are shot and edited beautifully and set to some very nice background music. But the story doesn't fly that high.
