The writing is unerring when it comes to the lads, but goes off track with the lasses. Their acts are good, but distressingly single-tone.

The trouble with ‘Shagird’, despite its sharp, often funny exchanges, and a few spanking scenes, is that it is not new enough.

Ragini MMS is strange mix of Hollywood horror influences ( `Blair Witch Project’, `Paranormal Activity’) and old-style Bollywood ghost stories.

The only new thing about `Haunted’ is that it is Bollywood horror in 3 D. The rest of it, by which we mean the principal stuff that makes it a film—story, location, characters—are all same old same old.But adding a third dimension alone does not a film make, especially if it tries lifting dull content and new actors with scant screen presence.You are left feeling grateful for the couple of creepy moments the film manages, before sinking into sameness again.

But there’s so little else in the film that it all flattens out in an alarming sit-com like fashion, as this very now film is reduced to using the creakiest comic devices from old-style Bollywood—itching powder, and laxatives.

A sentimental climactic twist ends up being surprisingly not schmaltzy, and gives an interesting touch to ‘Chalo Dilli’. It could have been, though, shorter and crisper.

And when will we have a children’s film that steers clear of the sort of heavy vocabulary which uses such words as ‘paakhandi’ and ‘andhvishwaas’? Too bad Zokkomon doesn’t make full use of its potential.

Where Dum Maaro Dum falters is in its uneven tone, and in its less-than-impressive principal characters — the hero, and the villain.

Go only if you don’t mind broad humour which overstates its case at every snowflake. Also, if you like your men being called Happy, Chiksi, and Fancy.

You know exactly what you are in for, if you’re in a film which has Suniel Shetty delivering the maximum laughs. Thank You promises you a huge passel of nothing: no story, no sense. On all those scores, it doesn’t disappoint.
