Shaadi Ke Side Effects (2014) 62% EDIT “This is a film that would have worked wonderfully as episodic television. In small doses the foibles of this marriage would be enjoyable. Unfortunately, in large portions it is more than a little tedious.” – Georgia Straight Dec 13, 2017 Full Review Guzaarish (2010) 60% EDIT “The film is shot almost entirely in a haze of diffused light and a blue palette interrupted only by the red lipstick worn by Sofia. This is a film to be felt rather than watched.” – Georgia Straight Jul 18, 2016 Full Review Entertainment (2014) EDIT “In their directorial debut, the writing duo known as Sajid-Farhad have created a jumbled film that defies genre placement and leaves the viewer with a lingering sense of bewilderment.” – Georgia Straight Jul 5, 2016 Full Review Humshakals (2014) 0% EDIT “Having made a career out of moronic slapstick comedies, director Sajid Khan has created a new unit of measurement with Humshakals. Henceforth it will be used to determine the dreadfulness of films of this genre.” – Georgia Straight Jul 5, 2016 Full Review Gunday (2014) 56% EDIT “This is a messy film with no substantial plot and mismatched pieces that simply don't fit.” – Georgia Straight Jul 5, 2016 Full Review Rambo Rajkumar (2013) 0% EDIT “Prabhu Deva's first career was as a choreographer and he packs this film with numerous dance numbers that, much like the whole film, are unmemorable and fail to grasp the unique magic of the genre.” – Georgia Straight Jul 5, 2016 Full Review Ram-Leela (2013) 67% EDIT “This film asks the viewer to dive in and be lost. The trip is both overwhelming and memorable.” – Georgia Straight Jul 5, 2016 Full Review Go Goa Gone (2013) 71% EDIT “The premise of the film is far more intriguing than its actual execution.” – Georgia Straight Jul 5, 2016 Full Review Khiladi 786 (2012) 0% EDIT “This movie tediously recycles all the elements of standard Bollywood slapstick fare, with preposterous fight sequences, garish dance numbers, and heaps of ethnic stereotypes.” – Georgia Straight Jul 5, 2016 Full Review Players (2012) 43% EDIT “Bachchan is the strongest actor in this ensemble, but in this film that is not high praise.” – Georgia Straight Jul 5, 2016 Full Review Desi Boys (2011) EDIT “In Rohit Dhawan's first film, Desi Boyz, he follows in his father David's directorial footsteps by creating an extended sophomoric male fantasy that is predicated on the audience suspending their logic, judgment, and good taste.” – Georgia Straight Jul 5, 2016 Full Review Thank You (2011) EDIT “This regressive and arcane film plays out against the backdrop of Vancouver and Toronto, which are made to meld together interchangeably in a way that will irritate anyone who is familiar with either city.” – Georgia Straight Jul 5, 2016 Full Review Kismet Connection (2008) EDIT “Despite being set in Canada and having a female lead with brains and a social conscience, this new offering fails to inspire.” – Georgia Straight Jul 5, 2016 Full Review God Tussi Great Ho (2008) EDIT “Rami Jaffery, the director of God Tussi Great Ho, continues to deny that his movie is a remake of Bruce Almighty, but this film is, indeed, a cheap facsimile of the original, albeit with a few minor adjustments.” – Georgia Straight Jul 5, 2016 Full Review Drona (2008) EDIT “Goldie Behl's much-hyped, star-studded Drona is more than a disappointment. It's a waste.” – Georgia Straight Jul 5, 2016 Full Review Patiala House (2011) EDIT “It doesn't quite pull it off.” – Georgia Straight Jul 4, 2016 Full Review Mumbai Diaries (2010) 65% EDIT “This is still a love story, both for the city of Mumbai and for the kind of love that is as unaccounted for as it is freely given.” – Georgia Straight Jul 4, 2016 Full Review Action Replayy (2010) 0% EDIT “Action Replayy promises us a fun romp through an iconic decade of the past: the 1970s. Bollywood in that era was indeed a riot and has been the premise of a few good retro films. This is not one of them.” – Georgia Straight Jul 3, 2016 Full Review Khatta Meetha (2010) 17% EDIT “This is not just a bad film; it is two bad films for the price of one.” – Georgia Straight Jul 3, 2016 Full Review Rajneeti (2010) 22% EDIT “Once you settle into the film, it veers from its original promise and descends into a bloody and incoherent mess.” – Georgia Straight Jul 3, 2016 Full Review Kites: The Remix (2010) 70% EDIT “Instead of being moved by the story, I was thinking more about the many illogical plot points in the film.” – Georgia Straight Jul 3, 2016 Full Review Veer (2010) 40% EDIT “The narrative of this film is disrupted at every moment with glaring illogical inaccuracies in the sets, the costumes, the music, and in the story itself.” – Georgia Straight Jul 3, 2016 Full Review Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year (2009) 88% EDIT “This film -- part Mad Men and part Jerry Maguire -- is an underdog story about grit, perseverance, and ethics. Some sections in the first half of the film seem to drag, but once the story kicks off, you'll be sold on it.” – Georgia Straight Jul 1, 2016 Full Review Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahaani (2009) EDIT “Like a fizzy cola, this bubbly tale amuses despite its saccharine aftertaste.” – Georgia Straight Jul 1, 2016 Full Review Heroes (2007) EDIT “Samir Karnik's Heroes is a nationalist film verging on propaganda.” – Georgia Straight Jul 1, 2016 Full Review
