Bhoot Returns
2012 · KoiMoi
The movie is a blatant mix and rip-off of a dozen other ghost films namely Paranormal Activity and Ramu's own Vaastu Shastra. The tricks of the ghost trying to scare the family are so stale that you end up laughing at this old-fashioned poltergeist. This Bhoot had no business returning.
Special 26
2013 · KoiMoi · Dec 2013
Though he makes a good thriller, Neeraj Pandey's direction leaves a few gaps to be filled. He does well with the chor-police story, managing to keep it away from the Hollywood style sleek ones and keeping this much more grounded. But the first half is a long wait and much of the action and chasing happens after the interval. The badly handled and interjected romance and songs are another stain.
Talaash
2012 · KoiMoi · Mar 2013
For those patient through sit and allow the movie to take over, Talaash offers a lot with the mystery, Aamir and Rani's performances, and enticing cinematography. But others might be put off by the unconventional story might not satisfy all.
Dabangg 2
2012 · KoiMoi · Mar 2013
Dabangg 2 is like the poorer clone of its precursor, but it's enjoyable with the action, Kung Fu Pandey, dollops of romance, songs and the rib-tickling comedy.
Khiladi 786
2012 · KoiMoi · Mar 2013
If you want nothing more than an enjoyable action-comedy without much sense, give Khiladi 786 a watch.
Zila Ghaziabad
2013 · KoiMoi · Mar 2013
Zila Ghaziabad is a gang-war story done in a confused Dabangg style that will bore the daylights out of you.
Murder 3
2013 · KoiMoi · Mar 2013
Murder 3 is an interesting movie where the suspense will keep you hooked. Worth a watch.
Akaash Vani
2013 · KoiMoi · Mar 2013
The film makes for a decent one time watch. Watch it just for the beautiful and enchanting chemistry of Nushrat and Kartik! A double thumbs up to the duo.
Race 2
2013 · KoiMoi · Mar 2013
Watch Race 2 only if you want to sit through two-and-a-half hours of no-brainer twists, compensated only by the booty show on screen.
Vishwaroopam
2013 · KoiMoi · Mar 2013
The film is a delicious watch for its dramatic action, brilliant stunts and mostly for the characters that Rahul Bose and Kamal Haasan so flawlessly deliver to us!
David
2013 · KoiMoi · Mar 2013
David is a sleek, funny movie that sews together interesting stories with excellent performances and darn good music. Don't give it a miss.
Mumbai Mirror
2013 · KoiMoi · Mar 2013
Mumbai Mirror is a terrible mistake. If you want to laugh at the utter nonsense going on on-screen, you might as well sit through it.
Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola
2013 · KoiMoi · Mar 2013
If you're a Vishal Bhardwaj fan, be prepared for a fare that's different from his dark, moody style. The fun and songs should keep you going though.
Table No. 21
2013 · KoiMoi · Mar 2013
Table No. 21 is a shameful waste of some really good actors where the makers sleepwalked through the entire film. Best to avoid this one.
10ml Love
2012 · KoiMoi · Dec 2012
For a funny, witty rom-com, 10ml Love makes a nice watch with enjoyable characters. But the film has too little too soon.
The Last Act
2012 · KoiMoi · Dec 2012
Watch The Last Act for a very different cinematic experience.
Life of Pi
2012 · KoiMoi · Dec 2012
Life Of Pi is a compelling tale of adventure, magic and some stunning visual effects. This boy and tiger deserve a watch.
Memories in March
2010 · KoiMoi · Nov 2012
On the whole, Memories In March is a dull fare. Most of its dialogues being in English will further limit its already dim box-office prospects.
Jab Tak Hai Jaan
2012 · KoiMoi · Nov 2012
Jab Tak Hai Jaan is worth a watch, and that's not just to pay your last respects to the legend Yash Chopra. It's a movie that puts the mushy, filmy craziness back in love stories.
1920: Evil Returns
2012 · KoiMoi · Nov 2012
1920 Evil Returns has nothing new to offer, but if you do want to watch a scary movie for the heck of it, then go ahead.
English Vinglish
2012 · KoiMoi · Nov 2012
Forget comebacks and special appearances, watch this movie for a woman who steps out of her family's shadow and learns to love herself.
Kismat Love Paisa Dilli
2012 · Rediff · Nov 2012
There are no two ways about it and we're not even bothering with a pun this time: KLPD is a painful watch that's better avoided.
Student of the Year
2012 · KoiMoi · Nov 2012
Student Of The Year has some really earnest performances and entertaining comedy scenes. Other than that it's a staple Karan Johar affair: ridiculous in parts and dramatic in others.
Delhi Safari
2012 · KoiMoi · Nov 2012
Delhi Safari is a welcome change from the regular mythology/modern-take-on-mythology. Though it may not match up to international standards, the humour element and Alex-Bajrangi make it an enjoyable watch.
Chakravyuh
2012 · KoiMoi · Nov 2012
Chakravyuh tries to grapple with too many nexuses in the movie, but gets bogged down with the script and mediocre performances.
Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana
2012 · KoiMoi · Nov 2012
It takes a lot to make something as fine and simply enjoyable like Luv ShuvTey Chicken Khurana. Though it takes some time for the flavours to set in and brew, excellent acting and music in the film make it worth the wait.
Son of Sardaar
2012 · KoiMoi · Nov 2012
Ajay Devgn does his best to be the endearing sardar in this masala flick. Go for the laughs and over-the-top action scenes, though it can get repetitive and tedious.
Ek Tha Tiger
2012 · KoiMoi · Nov 2012
For those asking, yes, Salman Khan does take off his shirt. Salman fans won't be disappointed by Ek Tha Tiger. For others, it's a fun watch even though it's a bit long.
OMG! Oh My God
2012 · KoiMoi · Nov 2012
For once, there's a movie that wants you to use your brains instead of just clapping and whistling away at the mindless action/sex scenes. Watch OMG Oh My God also because it has good performances and an interesting concept.
Heroine
2012 · KoiMoi · Nov 2012
Kareena Kapoor does a good job and, heck, you even get to see her in a pseudo lesbian scene along with other steamy scenes. If that's enough to drag you to see Heroine, go ahead. Give it a miss otherwise.
Raaz 3
2012 · KoiMoi · Nov 2012
Raaz 3 has its share of scares but it annoys you in the second half.
Joker
2012 · KoiMoi · Nov 2012
Joker is an amusing but predictable fare. Nothing out-of-this-world.
Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi
2012 · KoiMoi · Nov 2012
Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi is a cute rom-com, but it seriously needed a bigger dose of romance and comedy.
Cocktail
2012 · KoiMoi · Nov 2012
Cocktail is a nice and enjoyable movie for the dialogues, songs and performances. But the second half is a real drag.
Jism 2
2012 · KoiMoi · Nov 2012
Sunny Leone shows off her sexy body and there's some real good music while she does that. Don't even bother trying to make sense of the film.
Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum
2012 · KoiMoi · Nov 2012
Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum has some really good laughs, but the second half can be a tad disappointing.
Mere Dost Picture Abhi Baki Hai
2012 · KoiMoi · Nov 2012
Mere Dost Picture Abhi Baki Hai is long, winding movie that makes you wonder "Picture Aur Kitni Baki Hai?" It's only Rajpal Yadav's earnest acting that is saving grace.
Maximum
2012 · KoiMoi · Nov 2012
Maximum just beats around the bush for a long time and is not really an enjoyable fair.
Aiyyaa
2012 · KoiMoi · Nov 2012
What's Good: The superb acting of the entire cast; the Aga bai song; the direction; the general madness in the film.What's Bad: The sniffing and chasing; the stretched screenplay.Loo Break: Not really.Watch or Not?: Watch Aiyyaa for a quirkily different film with very good performances but be warned that it drags. Aiyyaa is quirkily different and is worth watching for all the characters. But the sniffing and chasing gets a bit annoying.
Barfi!
2012 · KoiMoi · Nov 2012
What's Good: The spell-binding direction; the wonderful performances; the cinematography and the music.What's Bad: The movie stretches a bit; the plot gets convoluted in between.Loo Break: None.Watch or Not?: Barfi! is a movie that will tickle you and bring tears to your eyes with equal ease. Don't miss this sweet story.Barfi! leaves you with that warm, cuddly, magical feeling with a few tears to match. It's really worth a watch.
