What has happened to Bollywood?

9. Fast Forward (Hindi) (1/10)
Dance movie got me excited because there are very few in Indian cinema but this was very amateurish. Dances were good but no great shakes as they made them to be. All the actors be it lead or supporting were really bad. The story was the same age old about struggling actors trying to make it big. Throw in some 'gundas', some emotion and there you go. No wonder it was such a big flop.

8. Quick Gun Murugan (Tamil/English) (5.5/10)
A Indian satirical comedy about a cowboy who is on earth to take revenge from evil Rice Plate who is making everyone non-vegetarian. Its a different genre of film which not many Indians are aware of but it makes for a pleasant watch.

7. Acid factory (Hindi) (5.5/10)
I was impressed by Suparna Verma's 'Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena' but his one more like a dramatic TV series more than a film. All 6 actors wake up in a acid factory and they dont remember anything. They get a phone call and slowly they start putting pieces together till they all remember everything. Whom to trust and whom to betray. It makes for an Ok watch.

6. Do Knot Disturb (Hindi) (4/10)
I seriously can't deal with anymore of nonsensical David Dhawan's comedies. Govinda married to Sushmita is 2-timing her with Lara Dutta. When she starts suspecting, because of some errors, he has to make Ritesh pretend to be Lara's boyfriend. Sushmita's character is so weird (dumb or intellectual) and so are others. SOmeone, please give us a comedy that really makes us laugh

5. Vaada Raha.. I Promise (Hindi) (4.5/10)
A decent concept gone wrong. Bobby Deol, who loves life starts hating it when in an accident his whole body gets paralyzed. A kid named Roshan makes him realize the same values of life and make him love it. When Bobby is ready for everything, its too late because the kid has died by now. Kangana had absolutely nothing to do in the film. The songs were big bore and forced. The kid was awesome

4. Orphan (3.5/10)
More than horror, it was psychological thriller. When a couple adopt a daughter who looks different and mature in thoughts, things start going wrong in one way or other. Te mother sees it but not the father. What's the real reason. It definitely comes as a surprise because the young girl is not a girl. She is a grown up 33 year old woman. Weird? Go figure.
