Sidharth-Parineeti sparkle in Hasee Toh Phasee

Read MoreFilm Review: 'Inside Llewyn Davies'
The film lacks the tension and drama of the Coen Brothers’ nerve shattering No Country for Old Men
Overall, the film is uncertain about what it wants to be, becoming a perfectly pleasant jack of all trades but undoubtedly a master of none!

Aamir-Katrina in Dhoom:3
Dhoom 3 is visually spellbinding, and great fun while it lasts, but there´s far too much of Aamir and nothing else, and like all recent Yash Raj Films, it all looks very pretty, but there's little that audiences eventually take home.

The Hobbit - The Desolation of Smaug is a far superior movie to the first
