Happy New Year is just a disappointment when it comes to the kind of work that SRK and Farah have done earlier – the last two times Farah Khan and Shah Rukh Khan collaborated they made brilliantly entertaining films – something you would expect to continue. The biggest loss of this film hence is Farah Khan’s failure as a director. Her failure to draw any other emotion – love, agony, patriotism – out of you apart despite attempting to do so in multiple scenes in the film. HNY is just a lesser film, though a fairly decent festive watch – for people of all age groups.

Bottomline – The film did scare. Not it’s story and technique, but the fact that it released.

Sonali Cable is a fun one time watch. However if you delve deeper, this David vs Goliath saga fails to connect. You would not walk away with anything. Definitely not a thought about the big players eating out the small players in each industry! One more example where an idea did not quite make it to the screen as it should have been.

Do not expect anything new and you will not be disappointed. This remake of a Hrishikesh Mukherjee film is contemporised for today’s generation and has a chick-flick written all over it.

Creature is one film which fails in almost every department of filmmaking. Well okay, they did try. They just did not manage. Not to scare and definitely not to entertain. Bipasha Basu gets a film she needs to pull on her shoulders and she does as much as she could. Alas!

…this film still moves and inspires you enough. You would still root for Mary Kom as she enters the ring. But that’s primarily because Priyanka Chopra brings that aggression into the character. No this is not quite the biopic that Mary Kom deserves. Yet, I would urge you to watch it. For the ones who seek to understand the champion pugilist better, just read her book!

Identity Card does poorly as a film. While the story might connect with Kashmiri’s on an emotional level, it would fail to touch a regular audience. Complete lack on efficiency despite having a decent enough story makes Identity Card just about average.

Raja Natwarlal could have been a shorter film had it not wasted as much time of the non-happening romance. Probably focusing more on adding finesse to the heist could have taken this film notches higher. This one is just not cool enough a con-film, after you have watched films like Special 26 in the recent past. An attempt to create a ‘naya India ka naya Natwarlal’ had to be smarter, else it is just demeaning the original icon!

…irrespective of all it’s cliches Mardaani serves well towards Rani’s career graph. A definite watch if you are a Rani fan, Mardaani is an average revenge-action cop flick.

Yawn inducing fare that fails to deliver any kick. Has to be the biggest disappointment of the year! The amount of money you spend on the tickets of Kick should be directly proportional to the how much you hate yourself!
