Neerja
The film is beautifully made and keeps the drama alive in the first half and then loses steam in the second half and ends on a high emotional note.

Ishq Forever
Nadeem of the Nadeem-Shravan fame attempts to make a return with a couple of really melodious tunes in this remake of a remake of a remake of Chasing Liberty/First Daughter/Mr. And Mrs 55/Hero... The new young couple go through the motions - falling in love, action, tears - there is zero sincerity and the comic thread of the baddies is so terrible you wonder how the censors were sleeping.

Sanam Re
Grandpa tells grandson that his soulmate is 500 steps away. Grandson begins counting. The two soulmates meet, part, meet, part and then meet and part so many times that the audience though beguiled for a while with the beautifully shot film and melodious songs begin to count the minutes when they can leave the theater.

Fitoor
Poor Charles Dickens! I am sure he never meant for Great Expectations to be a Bollywood romance. He called it a 'very fine, new grotesque idea' when he thought it up. Fitoor is this very finely shot, very bizarre breathy romance film which is saved by moments of true madness displayed by the brilliant Tabu.

Ghayal Once Again
'They killed his brother and he wreaked havoc in Bombay, and you did what?' screams a politician to the powerful businessman.' And you know how the movie is going to end! It's just that this time Ajay Mehra is defending four teenagers who have found evidence on crime that is being passed off as an accident. The direction may be raw, but the action is good.

Sanam Teri Kasam
A stern, super-principled South Indian dad and his mild, obedient, vibhuti-wearing daughter get into a misunderstanding over a scantily dressed lad. The daughter turns out to be just as principled and the conflict ends up with the young lad falling head over heels with the girl. But the love story if doomed...

Saala Khadoos
The movie deserves praise for sticking to the sports underdog-movie formula and offering us a decent watch. Madhavan as always is delicious on the screen, despite being given the instructions that he has to be Khadoos (crotchety) all the time. Once you get used to the even louder student (marvelously played by newcomer Ritika Singh), the film sort of grows on you. But the predictability of the story makes its 109 minutes feel like three hours.

Airlift
We like stories of unlikely ordinary men who obey the call of extraordinary circumstances and turn out to be heroes. The story of one of the largest rescues is nicely packaged here as a movie and presented with Akshay Kumar at his earnest best. It takes its own sweet time to set up, but when the story proceeds, it literally 'takes off'.

Jugni
The beginning of the movie, the music, the hero's charming presence, the funny appealing dialog keeps you so happy, you sort of believe that the movie is going to be better than fabulous. But the predictable turns the story takes throw the whole movie down a cliff and it just crashes.

Chalk N Duster
Although the movie has been made with the right premise in mind, and has an enviable cast, the shoddy execution makes it a terrible watch. You sit through it because it means well.

Wazir
Wazir surprises us with a brilliant beginning and Amitabh Bachchan emoting with just his face and Farhan's seething passions are near short of a miracle, you think. And then with the second half of tiresome explanations and almost laughable action sequences, the film simply freefalls into tediousness.
