Dil Se (1998) |
Even with fine performances, technique and music, Dil Se is devoid of that crucial element called a story. - Filmfare

Bachna Ae Haseeno (2008) |
Throughout, the direction lacks consistency and plausibility, and leaves questions dangling. - Hindustan Times

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (2008) |
Above all, the enterprise belongs to debutant Imran Khan who comes up with an intelligent and restrained performance. - Hindustan Times

Ship of Theseus (2012) |
Forget all the artsy-tartsy prejudices about Ship of Theseus. Here are three stories well told, signifying independent cinema's coming of age. - Deccan Chronicle

Golmaal Returns (2008) |
Any indication of the story-screenplay is impossible because it seems to have been shot randomly. Camera on, maybe something will happen. - Hindustan Times

Special 26 (2013) |
The premise of the project had potential, but it comes off as far too fanciful and uneven in its tenor. - Deccan Chronicle

Kai Po Che! (2013) |
Thanks to the three fast-rising actors, technical finesse and some engagingly directed vignettes, Kai Po Che is a cut above the commonplace. - Deccan Chronicle

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013) |
Biopix are made of this: guts, disappointments and glory. And the story of the nation's pre-eminent athlete, Milkha Singh, is accorded the full-blown, no-expenses-barred treatment. - Deccan Chronicle

Luck by Chance (2009) |
A valentine as well as a poison pen letter to good-golly-it's-Bollywood. - Hindustan Times

Talaash: The Answer Lies Within (2012) |
Nothing wrong with being kept in the dark, but frequently events become so far-out (particularly the finale) that even Salvador Dali would have quivered with consternation. - Deccan Chronicle

Jodhaa Akbar (2008) |
The action set pieces are sound and fury amounting to nothing. Amitabh Bachchan's voice-over commentary is stale. Kiran Deohan's cinematography is conventional and Ballu Saluja's editing is rather old-fashioned. - Hindustan Times

Chak De India (2007) |
Shah Rukh Khan is outstanding -- it's a performance that is comparable and at points even more internalised than the one in Swades. - Hindustan Times

Jhoom Barabar Jhoom (2007) |
Only about 10 minutes of this 14-reeler add up to entertainment -- and that is the splashy, kitschy title dance number rambunctiously choreographed by Vaibhavi Merchant. - Hindustan Times

Like Stars on Earth (2007) |
Above all, the amazingly confident child actor Darsheel Safary is the li'l big champion here. - Hindustan Times

Dostana (2008) |
Good taste, pop colour Miami locations, high-end costumes, make-up styling and the A-grade Dharma Productions values add up to a zingy entertainer. - Hindustan Times

Gangs of Wasseypur (2012) |
There are several lacerating sections and insightful moments, marred fatally alas by a tortoise slow place, repetitive points, an overload of information. - Deccan Chronicle

Om Shanti Om (2007) |
Of the cast, Arjun Rampal is consistently first-rate as the suave villain. And Deepika Padukone is fantastic, so surprisingly assured that you marvel at her poised debut. - Hindustan Times

Jai Ho (2014) |
Sohail Khan's direction is as ancient as the hillocks, banking excessively on slow fade-outs, bleaches and gigantic close-ups lavished upon even the most minor and camera-unfriendly of faces. - Deccan Chronicle

Raanjhnaa (2013) |
Projecting vulnerability as well as steely resolve, Sonam Kapoor carries out her age graph sensitively and belts out her most mature performance yet. Just for her, go for it. - Deccan Chronicle

Ishkq in Paris (2013) |
Preity Zinta, high on energy but low on subtlety, could have surely looked for a script that does her (and her loyalists) a shred of justice. - Deccan Chronicle

Dhoom 2 (2006) |
The lip-gloss camerawork, the editing chops, the imaginative sets, the branded costumes and the picture postcard locations are boss. - Hindustan Times

Chennai Express (2013) |
The mood keeps shifting from a 'DDLJ' parody to those Rohit Shetty car blasts, background balls of fire, and multitudes of muscular goons who await their turn to be bashed up by the hero. Oof. - Deccan Chronicle
