Chance Pe Dance
...if the characters are going to behave like you'd expect them to, and if they are going to spout lines, ad verbatim what's playing in your mind, the story is bound to be predictable. There's no attempt to deviate from the norm.

Tries too hard to be cool and “contemporary”, comes across as superficial instead.

The Accidental Prime Minister
It is almost like you are paying to watch an advertisement about someone you are not interested in. No, it’s not about Dr. Singh, that would actually be very interesting. This one is an “I, me, myself” on and almost completely by Sanjaya Baru.

It is insensitive at multiple levels, yet it is borderline "not as bad as I thought". And then of course, it goes into one bad sub-plot after another till you are sick and tired of it all.

Welcome Back
Why anyone thinks any of this is even remotely funny, I don't understand.

Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal
Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal should show up in the thesaurus look up for incoherent and 'all over the place'.

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo
The writing is too conscious of itself too – trying too hard to be a Barjatya-Salman film that has to teach you a thing or two about family values.

Race 3
Fidget-spinner-led forced style, fight sequence in flowing skirt, flying Salman – Race 3 has it all. And of course, the Race brand of twists and turns are neither fun nor make any sense. Nothing unexpected, except for a touch of Baghbaan.

1920 - Evil Returns
Mystery of a possessed goody-good girl builds up to a lame backstory. This is only the excuse to show some disgusting kind of gory horror.

Freaky Ali
As plain and dry a sports underdog film as can be. Having you root for the actor, not the character, doesn't bode well for a film.

Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum
Unless you know that you enjoy this kind of humor, juvenile adult comedy that is, please skip Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum.

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.

Unabashedly silly. Brings a smile or two, even if soulless – that's exactly what you expect though, right?

It's taxing when everything you have to say about a film is bad. It's not scary, it's not thrilling. It beats its own purpose and is just bad.

Behen Hogi Teri
The only thing different about this “parents vs. lovers” love story is represented in the title. The title itself is one big eyeroll. So that's that.

Dabangg 3
A slowwww clap for the social messaging—as slow as the slo-mo used, without which too the film would have been slow. A genuine clap for the attempt at story, though. As amusing and self-important as it was, at least they tried.

Jo Hum Chahein
An obnoxious, self-centered boy comes of age. And he cannot act. Neither can the women or men who help him come of age in their ways. And the women are a few of the most gullible ones I've seen in ages, even on screen!
