Lanka
A lackluster narrative, despite the over-dramatization, which Manoj Bajpayee somehow tries to hold together with his performance.

Son Of Sardaar
The exaggerated action sequences and silly comedy may entertain some of the audience, but as a film-crazy nation, we surely deserve far better.

Tum Bin 2
Philosophizes a little too much with little insight. And I wonder where we have seen the story earlier? Hmmmm...

Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani
A rom-com that is half-baked comedy and a quarter-baked romance.

Chase
Run away. And run away fast. You don’t want to watch a bunch of non-actors in a shabbily edited thriller, even if the story is not-bad.

Tere Mere Phere
If the film had talent that didn't have limitations, if the writing had been crisper, if the editing had been even crisper, maybe we could have judged the debutant director.

Jodi Breakers
There are a few moments where you begin to hope for chemistry between the lead pair only to see it fizzle away into a ridiculous story.

Dishoom
A thriller that cannot be bogged down by details. An action film that cannot be bothered to even attempt innovative moves.

Badrinath Ki Dulhania
Too distant for city audiences to find relatable. Too superficial for smaller town audiences to find believable.

Aiyyaa
Where weird goes terribly wrong and comes across as a desperate attempt to become quirky funny.

Bahubali
One epic war sequence at the end of a story that is not only half-hearted, but also half-told.

Lahore
Same old need for sisterhood between two countries which have been at war for what, 6 decades now? Of course, we need truce but not sure if we need a movie on the issue with the backdrop of a sport that seems to mean more war than anything else.

Calendar Girls
Starts off and continues with awful dubbing, follows up with mostly awful acting, fills up with reinforcing stereotypes and finishes up with predictable story-telling.

Tum Mile
Love, calamity, death all taken way too casually in a drab, still-life sort-of a way.

Break Ke Baad
When a film chooses to mimic life and its relationships, you expect a certain warmth, which is completely missing.

Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya
Very Loud. Yet if you are in that giggly/exuberant mood can be an enjoyable 'nothing better to do' watch.

Vishwaroop
Mountain out of a molehill - the ban that is. The film itself is a very average action flick attracting attention only because of Kamal Haasan.

Dilwale
More or less what you expect with a little twist thrown in. Ok fine, a couple of genuine laughs too.

Phillauri
Some films mesmerize because they linger lyrically, beautifully. Others l-l-l-i-i-i-i-n-n-g-e-r in a way you wish it stops before you can say asap. Unfortunately, Phillauri is the latter.

Tell Me O Kkhuda
A bland narrative of a girl on the look for her biological parents. And as the film progresses the story keeps getting more and more ridiculous.

Horror Story
Even if Horror Story manages to spook you a couple of times, it repeats itself way too many times to be remotely effective.

Zid
A whodunnit that goes about in so many circles that you stop wondering about who did it.

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

Better than some RGV products. Yes, that isn't saying much in favor of the film.

Nanu Ki Jaanu
Social messages in a ghost-romantic-comedy. Yes, that’s 4 genres in one sentence. And that’s not counting the many “Public Service Announcements” within those social messages. A bit much that alas adds to not much.

Kurbaan
Predictable to the minutest detail and utterly-butterly s..l..o..w. You sure have better ways to induce yawns now, don't you?
