Kick provides a kick only sporadically. For Salman Khan fans, that should be good enough.

To be fair, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania does have some warm passages. But the overall package that it adds up to is about as appetizing as a bottle of beer gone flat.

Recommended only for Bollywood junkies that love their froth served in receptacles that have no depth.

The biggest of the villains in Mohit Suri’s Ek Villain is the screenplay itself. As a whole, this film, besides its surface flair, does not have too much to fall back upon.

Watch it only if that is good enough for you.

Humshakals is consistent in one respect: the only way it goes is down. The gags turn more and more grotesque as the film progresses, ending in such an unseemly heap that it becomes impossible to fathom what the hell is going on. Heed the warning: Humshakals is infinitely more insufferable. Even if you possess plenty of himmat, use it elsewhere.

Like many a Bollywood flick that has gone before, Fugly is about a quartet of well-meaning pals presumably fresh from college and in quest of a meaningful future.
One of them is the strong and brooding type (Mohit Marwah) who runs adventure camps for foreign tourists in Leh. For all its pious posturing on the safety of women, Fugly has no qualms about treating the lead actress merely as eye candy.

Holiday lacks the sustained intensity and urgency of an edge-of-the-seat spy thriller.

The script does not allow Akshay Kumar to be the no-nonsense action hero that would have held the film in better stead.

His lover boy act only dilutes the larger-than-life persona of the fearless and single-minded mean machine that he is supposed to be.

Kaanchi is strictly for old time’s sake.

2 States is good for a one-time watch.
The unabashed shallowness of a Chetan Bhagat book meets the inane glitter of a Karan Johar-Sajid Nadiadwala production in 2 States.

The result is the creation of a third state – the state of overpowering indolence.

Boman Irani’s mean politician caricature isn’t menacing enough to give anybody sleepless nights, leave alone a ghost who rocks.

Will Bhoothnath Returns be able to bhooth-capture the box office? It might not lose its deposit, but it does not look like it is in with a chance to romp home with a big margin.

Main Tera Hero, for all its excesses, is held together by its sustained comic energy. The sillier it turns, the better it gets.

The film has enough laugh-out-loud situations for the audience not to be overly put off by the screenplay’s obvious rough edges.

Give Main Tera Hero a shot. Not quite vintage David Dhawan, but it comes pretty close.
