On the whole, UNITED SIX has a fascinating idea which entertains intermittently.

On the whole, HOSTEL is a solid idea gone awry.

On the whole, TURNING 30!!! has its moments, but they are few and far between. In totality, however, it misses the mark.

On the whole, one needs loads of patience to sit through IMPATIENT VIVEK.

DIL BOLE HADIPPA belongs to Rani and as always, she delivers a sparkling performance as Veera as well as Veer, carrying both the roles effortlessly. Shahid plays second fiddle to Rani, which is very surprising. Nevertheless, he enacts his part well. Anupam Kher and Dalip Tahil lend decent support. Poonam Dhillon has nothing to do. Rakhi Sawant and Sherlyn Chopra are wasted. Vrajesh Hirjee is passable. Shri Vallabh Vyas does well.

On the whole, RAB NE BANA DI JODI is vey desi at heart with a strong start and an equally strong emotional end. Having said that, you cannot deny the fact that you expect much, much more from Aditya Chopra. It is no DILWALE DULHANIYA LE JAYENGE, it’s not MOHABBATEIN either. It’s lower than that!

…is a well-executed enterprise, which has its share of limitations. At the box-office, the film caters to the Northern audience mainly — Delhi and Punjab specifically. Besides North, the plexes in Mumbai should fare slightly better.

Alas, SAAWARIYA is all style, no substance. When a director of the calibre of SLB attempts a love story, you expect to experience the various emotions that you generally associate with romance. Sadly, the emotions you experience while watching SAAWARIYA is sorrow and after the screening, anguish.

On the whole, DOR is a well-made film that caters to those with an appetite for qualitative cinema. While the film will win glowing reviews and praise from the gentry, its appeal will be restricted to the elite at select multiplexes. Awards yes, box-office rewards no!

If the first half abounds in light moments, the post-interval portions get into a serious mode. The story takes a turn when one of their friends [Madhavan] expires in an air crash. The film holds your attention right till the elimination of the Defence Minister [Mohan Agashe], but the remainder, which leads to the climax, is a downer. The climax should’ve been the highpoint of the film, taking the film to a crescendo, but it doesn’t. In fact, the climax ruins the impact considerably.
