Kaminey (2009) 100% EDIT “Few plots have so exhilaratingly been laid out with such precise rhythm and inter-cuts. I suspect only a music-composer who’s also a director could synchronise this so well on screen...” – Hindustan Times Feb 9, 2023 Full Review Help (2010) 1.5/5 EDIT “This remains the only film admittedly of the horror genre that still manages to squeeze in a full-on, slick music video: hero broods, grimaces, dreamily stares away, the camera admires his poses in montage shots.” – Hindustan Times Mar 2, 2020 Full Review Action Replayy (2010) 0% 2/5 EDIT “The movie claims to be adapted from a Gujarati play of the same name. I'm not sure if the said play had the Hollywood movie Back To The Future for its premise. This picture certainly does.” – Hindustan Times Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Road, Movie (2009) 67% 2/5 EDIT “The point of this road-less journey remains mysteriously unknown though, given it's the premise.” – Hindustan Times Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Pyaar Impossible (2010) 40% 1.5/5 EDIT “An incessantly stunted 'Hollywood rom-com' knock-off, to the point that a neatly dictated formula will allow.” – Hindustan Times Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Game Over (2019) 67% 3/5 EDIT “Suffice it to know, this is a 'home-invasion' picture, a full-on sub-genre of its own, with limited pay-off, yes. But with only one question that should really matter: Does it keep you interested/hooked right through to the end? For sure.” – Mid Day Jun 17, 2019 Full Review Khatta Meetha (2010) 17% 1/5 EDIT “The jokes, you can tell, have pretty much dried up. No amount of slapstick will wet this pool.” – Hindustan Times Mar 1, 2019 Full Review Pad Man (2018) 74% 3/5 EDIT “This is a very different kinda Balki movie...does it manage to entertain? Absolutely, if you're patient enough through the first half.” – Mid Day Sep 7, 2018 Full Review Milenge Milenge (2010) 1/5 EDIT “Beside fatal, filial perils of smoking and drinking, the film offers us an equally precious lesson. Movie stars aren't really overpaid after all. A few crores is a paltry price to pay for a personal life, or the lack thereof.” – Hindustan Times Mar 19, 2018 Full Review Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai (2010) 1/5 EDIT “It's astounding how many scenes short can a movie this long be. The hero and the alien suddenly are in love. And you know how that love will show.” – Hindustan Times Jan 29, 2018 Full Review Jashnn (2009) 1/5 EDIT “Unlike the Bhatts' recent hits, the premise of this film is neither clear nor newsy...the plot isn't quite borrowed either. So this film is largely original. And that is a big problem.” – Hindustan Times Jan 29, 2018 Full Review Shortkut - The Con Is On (2009) 1/5 EDIT “The producer confuses his own generosity with the number of humongous sets and holiday destinations he can send his team out to shoot songs. The only ones suffering are we. Really, I don't know a worse shortcut to excess.” – Hindustan Times Jan 29, 2018 Full Review The Brawler (2017) 88% 4/5 EDIT “Mukkabaaz marks Kashyap's fab return to a realm he understands and expresses best -- with all its flaws, angst and humour, Tarantino-esque pop-culture references, making it all as distressing as it is frickin' fun and real.” – Mid Day Jan 13, 2018 Full Review Guzaarish (2010) 60% 3/5 EDIT “Each shot is worth a photograph in frame. Bhansali is no doubt an aesthete. His imagination is evidently a massive indoor dream on a palette that consistency changes colour tones with every film.” – Hindustan Times Dec 15, 2017 Full Review Gurgaon (2017) 86% EDIT “The relatability and realism of it all, despite the hasty simplicities in the plot, add much to the character.” – Mid Day Dec 15, 2017 Full Review Dil Bole Hadippa! (2009) 60% 1/5 EDIT “As an idea, this remains still a full-on film festival designed around the female lead. She is decent. She usually is. But, what is this film?” – Hindustan Times Oct 31, 2017 Full Review Golmaal 3 (2010) 44% 1.5/5 EDIT “Golmaal 2 (second-rate stuff) apparently raked in big bucks. Such success can boost anyone's over-confidence.” – Hindustan Times Jul 6, 2016 Full Review Golmaal Returns (2008) 0% EDIT “Somewhere the crispness of the dialogue and comic timing is lost.” – NDTV May 27, 2015 Full Review My Name Is Khan (2010) 86% 3/5 EDIT “Sure, this movie's a risk. Shouldn't each be anyway?” – Hindustan Times May 26, 2015 Full Review Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai (2010) 60% 3/5 EDIT “Few actors in mainstream films manage a self-assured, under-stated swagger, convey so much silently, sometimes just with their glance and droopy eyes... Bachchan perfected it as the 'angry young man'. Devgn, you can tell, is his fine successor.” – Hindustan Times May 26, 2015 Full Review Tomorrow May Never Come (2003) 70% EDIT “At the end of the day, it works and is worth your entertainment bucks. And that's really saying a lot.” – Mid Day May 15, 2015 Full Review Don 2 (2011) 63% 1.5/5 EDIT “The picture promises to never end.” – Hindustan Times May 12, 2015 Full Review Dabangg (2010) 60% 3/5 EDIT “Mad stuff!” – Hindustan Times May 12, 2015 Full Review Zindaji Na Milegi Dobara (2011) 89% 4/5 EDIT “What you take home are memorable, amusing moments of three truly adventurous amigos we've all grown up with.” – Hindustan Times May 11, 2015 Full Review Tees Mar Khan (2010) 8% 1/5 EDIT “Most jokes fall flat. Except when directed at Bollywood itself.” – Hindustan Times May 11, 2015 Full Review
