It's the story of a rookie cop and his dilemma: should he do the right thing, the wrong thing or find a middle path. The film is shot three times, each with a different ending. Something that has been done to death. The editing is shoddy, the story is obvious and all ploys of violence are boring. Makes you wonder if the fourth option was for the audience to shoot itself in the head to get away from such a terrible film.

The trouble with sequels is that they need to take the story forward or put the protagonists in a new setting. Fukrey, the original mayhem was fun because the protagonists were losers and yet they had a knack of getting out of trouble. This film alas has none of the original humor, the jokes seem forced and out of really bad whatsapp forwards, the characters have no redeeming qualities and despite a bigger budget the story seems forced.

There are period films and there are films that periodically make you wonder why this genre is not relegated to history. Kapil Sharma attempts to replace cricket with comedy to a story that Lagaan brought to the screen, and fails miserably. If you manage to stay awake through the romance, perhaps you deserve a medal...

The film is a 'sequel' to the 2006 film of the same name. Sheena and Ricky are in this film too, and so are the same convoluted plot about money, seduction and murder. While that film had memorable music, this one has nothing. It has pointless twists and in the end, you don't care, but laugh at the terrible fare on the screen.

Sulochana likes to compete, and she wins at most things. Whether it is a Pressure Cooker for a Radio Call In show or a spoon and lemon race at her son's school. She takes a chance and becomes an RJ too. Her sexy late night call-in job alarms her rather middle class family and you'll love her dexterity in handling them all. Delightful watch.

Based on a short story by Phanishwarnath Renu, this film attempts to bring the simple village life from 1954 to life and ends up looking fake, worse than a high-school amateur hour. Unfortunately, the ensemble cast are stellar actors. To see them over-do the we-are-simpleton-villagers act is jarring.

A road trip film that is so much fun as the two actors Irrfan Khan and Parvathy make for unlikely travel partners Irrfan is gabby, doesn't care for conventions and is happy and willing to try anything new. Parvathy is a bit of a stick in the mud. The script is fast-paced and funny and the film carries you effortlessly. You come away happy. Delightful watch.

Films based in small Northern towns that deal with dowry and squashed ambitions of daughters are a trope done to death. Along comes another with Rajkummar Rao as hero. Just because he's had a spate of successes, does not mean he will carry this shaadi ka dead horse alone on his shoulders.

If the lead actors: Sidharth Malhotra and Sonakshi Sinha weren't so passionless in trying hard to be mysterious, this film could have been less painful to watch.

One Jia wants to die and the other is dying and before you come to the 'Babumoshai' moment you loved in Anand (Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan), you have plotted their demise several times over.

The super slowness of the film kills any interest you may have in the unraveling of the plot given away ten minutes into the film.

Golmaal Again becomes funny in the second half and some ghostly goings-on make you laugh. But overall it's loud and lurid and you come away with a headache.
