Bodyguard (2011) 29% 2/5 EDIT “Forget the plot, this is a shameless showcase for its ageing, A-list lead.” – Time Out Mar 21, 2023 Full Review Force (2011) 50% 2/5 EDIT “It's a mystery why Fox backed this 'masala' flick especially as no effort was made to market it to a wider audience.” – Time Out Nov 8, 2017 Full Review Saalame-E-Ishq (2007) EDIT “After the first hour, the film becomes a repetitive and laborious time-pass.” – The Times (UK) Oct 25, 2017 Full Review Come, Dance With Me (2007) 67% EDIT “For a film which invites us to 'come, let's dance', there is not a single number which encourages us to. Bring back the cheekiness of the choli!” – The Times (UK) Oct 25, 2017 Full Review Tashan (2008) 50% EDIT “As the title literally translates, this is bunkum-style over substance, and we the audience are THE 'tashan' victims.” – The Times (UK) Oct 25, 2017 Full Review U, Me Aur Hum (2008) 60% EDIT “This is especially welcome since premature senility is often misunderstood and can be considered a taboo topic in India.” – The Times (UK) Oct 25, 2017 Full Review Bhoothnath (2008) 60% EDIT “With some witty special effects and the seasoned performances of the A-list stars, Bhoothnath works best when it focuses on the spooky antics between ghost and humans.” – The Times (UK) Oct 25, 2017 Full Review Jannat (2008) EDIT “Hashmi is credible as the irredeemably misogynistic and volatile Arjun but his one dimensional character, presented as an amoral delusional shyster from the outset, lacks adequate emotional depth to evoke empathy.” – The Times (UK) Oct 25, 2017 Full Review Mere Baap Pahle Aap (2008) EDIT “This is a heretical and welcome take on the 'parents decide and children accept' formulaic bolly-melodrama. But worthy intentions cannot compensate for this father's flaws.” – The Times (UK) Oct 25, 2017 Full Review 123 (2008) EDIT “This extraordinary tacky offering has no redeeming features; it is a catalogue of ineptness.” – The Times (UK) Oct 25, 2017 Full Review Race (2008) EDIT “Worst of all is its pretentious attempt at seriousness.” – The Times (UK) Oct 25, 2017 Full Review Halla Bol (2007) EDIT “Pessimistic, realistic and ultimately uplifting, Halla Bol's predictable and passionate plea for justice emerges victorious.” – The Times (UK) Oct 25, 2017 Full Review I Am Legend (2007) 68% EDIT “If you ignore its flaws, I am Legend can be enjoyed as the perfect brainless Boxing Day blockbuster - but it is essentially a leftover festive turkey.” – The Times (UK) Oct 25, 2017 Full Review Dus Kahaniyaan (2007) EDIT “An ambitious attempt to push the boundaries of the traditional massala formula. However, two out of ten stories hitting the mark does not make this experiment a success.” – The Times (UK) Oct 25, 2017 Full Review Dhan Dhana Dhan ... Goal (2007) EDIT “Everyone involved with this missed Goal deserve red cards.” – The Times (UK) Oct 25, 2017 Full Review Saawariya (2007) 41% EDIT “Sony's first major delve into the lucrative global Bollywood market is an admirable, ambitious misfire.” – The Times (UK) Oct 25, 2017 Full Review Anna M. (2007) 67% EDIT “At times this is a disturbingly brilliant portrayal of a derailed and deranged life.” – The Times (UK) Oct 25, 2017 Full Review When We Met (2007) 100% EDIT “This is a rather conventional and surprisingly charming Bolly-romcom.” – The Times (UK) Oct 25, 2017 Full Review Laaga Chunari Mein Daag: Journey of a Woman (2007) 50% EDIT “It's superior Bollywood soap, saved by the acting, which just about manages to raise it above sud-level.” – The Times (UK) Oct 24, 2017 Full Review No Smoking (2007) 50% EDIT “By the end frustrated viewers may want to kick Kashyap's butt.” – The Times (UK) Oct 24, 2017 Full Review The Last Legion (2007) 15% EDIT “Paying scant attention to either historical accuracy or character complexity, the Xena: Warrior Princess director Lefler goes for a straightforward good versus evil plot with a predictable climactic battle.” – The Times (UK) Oct 24, 2017 Full Review Black Sheep (2006) 71% EDIT “This woolly mix of hilarity and horror works best when played for baaad laughs. One thing is sure - it will put you off doner kebabs for life.” – The Times (UK) Oct 24, 2017 Full Review Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007) 33% EDIT “Kumar equates stripping to emoting whilst Ahuja and Balan share zero on-screen chemistry and look confused. Pretty Patel is reduced to an inexplicable cameo.” – The Times (UK) Oct 24, 2017 Full Review Naya Daur (1957) EDIT “However, it is ironic that a black and white film which cautions against the indiscriminate use of technology for the acquisition of wealth should be subject to a colourisation process in order lure new lucrative audiences in.” – The Times (UK) Oct 24, 2017 Full Review Nanhe Jaisalmer (2007) EDIT “Apparently, it is all about friendship and the power of imagination. But Karnik rams his message home, and is more intent on showcasing a touristy Rajasthan than focusing on characterisation.” – The Times (UK) Oct 24, 2017 Full Review
