Madharasapattinam is a splendid effort in CGI, but falters in the story department. Red Alert trivialises the Naxal issue
This week's release starring Suniel Shetty is a somewhat naïve attempt at resolving the age-old Naxalite issue. Amit Trivedi weaves casual magic with Aisha
The music of Sonam Kapoor-starrer Aisha rocks. Girl Who Played With Fire is thrilling

It's the duo's collective persona and their free-flowing chemistry that makes all the difference in I Hate Luv Storys. Is M Night Shyamalan losing his touch?
It sure looks like it because his latest effort, The Last Airbender is not that entertaining. You'd be a fool to miss Toy Story 3

Raavan's deadliest sin isn't in the clumsy dialogue, hammy acting or lame, oversimplified adaptation but in that it fails to engage us. Raavan is Mani, Abhi, Ash's best work

Review: This Robin Hood dulls us into submission

Composer duo Vishal-Shekhar signs up to infuse the right blend of zing and freshness to their young romance. Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Timepass

Get ready for an enjoyable ride. Kites: A beautiful fraud
The movie, which despite its slick image and incredibly beautiful stars is not what it claims to be. It's not a great action movie. Not a great love story. Not even a noteworthy Indian contribution to global cinema. Raja Sen: Kites, a trainwreck in slow-motion

Sethi's directorial debut starts out with cocksure confidence and zing but soon runs out of mischief, bonhomie, wizardry and pretty much everything else. Review: The Last Song is pure mush
But if tearjerkers aren't your first option it's best to stay away from this Miley Cyrus starrer! Review: When did Badmaashi get this boring?
Badmaash Company is an unimaginably boring film that is so amateurish it hurts. Review: Falling hard for Iron Man 2
The first film gave us the backstory and this sequel packs in, some might feel, far too much gravy for one film. But this is Iron Man, and he writes his own hyperactive ticket. So buckle up and keep your eyes open. It's not such a Wonderful Afterlife after all
The film quickly drifts into the absurd and unbelievable, and stays there throughout, with a plot riddled with inconsistencies and gaps that otherwise would be fatal if Chadha hadn't set out to be so self-mocking. February - April 2010
