April is going slow too

12. Idiot Box (Hindi) (0/10)
Sushant Singh, please excuse us and stop doing these lame ass, half baked movies. You are embarrassing us

11. Cellular (2.5/10)
After getting a frantic call on his cell phone from a kidnapped woman, a young man must battle his way through a ruthless world of lies and murder to rescue her. A fast-paced thriller. But I had already seen the hindi inspired version 'Speed' featuring Urmila etc. Bore !!

10. Hum Tum Aur Ghost (Hindi) (3.5/10)
Inspired by the film 'Ghost Town', I dunno what Arshad saw in the story (credited to himself) to produce it. How could you even think that the film is gonna make any business. Dia Mirza was good in the film though

9. Toh Baat Pakki (Hindi) (5/10)
Tabu was great in the film. The film itself doesn't offer much but it was very interesting to see Tabu as this manipulative elder sister who all she wants is the best groom for her little sister. Draggy, a little boring but still enjoyable.

8. Na Ghar Ke Na Ghaat Ke (Hindi) (6.5/10)
Very rarely you get to see a film that is totally rooted in Indian soil and sentiments. I completely enjoyed each and every moment in the film. There was nothing over the top and it was real. I thought the actor/director did a very very good job.

7. An Education (6/10)
Carey Mulligan is brilliant in the role of a young school girl who fall sin love with a rich older man and suddenly her life becomes all about enjoying and hanging out with rich and because oif this she starts questioning the whoel reason for education. Ultimately as expected, she is hurt and realizes that education is the only things that remains with you. Recommended.

6. Precious (6.5/10)
Precious Jones, an inner-city high school girl, is illiterate, overweight, and pregnant…again. Naïve and abused, Precious responds to a glimmer of hope when a door is opened by an alternative-school teacher. She is faced with the choice to follow opportunity and test her own boundaries. Prepare for shock, revelation and celebration. In my opinion, the lead actress definitely deserved an oscar.

5. Hide & Seek (Hindi) (4.5/10)
A tribute to 'I know what you did last sumer', film plays out as a cat-and-mouse game, with the friends captured in the mall taking their own lead in unmasking the killer before he can diminish their ranks. Strictly ok.

4. Chance Pe Dance (Hindi) (2/10)
Bad film. Why did even Shahid choose to do this film. Story, songs even dancing was bad. Usual chirpy Genelia also could not save this film. A very poor excuse for a film. I am still waiting for that exclusive dance film in bollywood.

3. Love, Sex Aur Dhoka (Hindi) (5/10)
I think the overhype of this film killed all the fun for me. I thought it was just alright. There was nothing extraordinary for me. Yes it is scary that these days cameras can record each and every action of ours but then we all know by now. The 3 different stories were definilety real and inter-related but thats it. Maybe I am missing something that others see.

2. Sherlock Holmes (7/10)
Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law put memorable imprints on Holmes and Watson. I enjoyed each and every single moment of this film. Exactly the kind of films that I enjoy

1. Right Yaaa Wrong (Hindi) (7/10)
Now this was a good film. Sad that the movie was not promoted well. Story and direction is very well . Sunny and Irfan have acted their parts very well. Isha And Konkona dont have much to in the film but I would strongly recommend this to everyone. Good film
