Entertainment
There are reasonable attempts at keeping the humor "different", but nowhere close to good enough.

Veere Di Wedding
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.

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'.

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.

Yamla Pagla Deewana 2
...is one of those rare films that made me wonder why it was made at all.

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.

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.

Judwaa 2
Unabashedly silly. Brings a smile or two, even if soulless – that's exactly what you expect though, right?

Love Sonia
How does one evaluate a movie on lives where obvious racism feels like a secondary issue? Fragmented narrative feels trivial. At the risk of giving the movie away, what happens to lives that never get better? What do you call it? Human-degradation tourism? Thankfully hopeful? Unrealistically optimistic? Or are these phrases a viewer’s way of shirking reality because we find it uncomfortable to watch? How can you discuss performances and stories that wrench your gut, chill your spine?
