Cast: Ajay Devgn, Tammanah Bhatia, Paresh Rawal Director: Sajid Khan It must take a special kind of skill to remake a mediocre film like 1983's 'Himmatwala' without even marginally improving on it. Director Sajid Khan's pot pourri of excessive melodrama, puerile humor, cartoonish action, and garish songs plods on for two-and-a-half hours with little concern for your bladder or your mental health.

You don't complain about excessive violence if you've chosen to watch a Quentin Tarantino film. But in 'Django Unchained', his homage to spaghetti westerns set in the pre-Civil War era of black slaves and ruthless white oppressors, the celebrated filmmaker invites us to witness such an orgy of brutality and bloodshed that you have to ask if the film is attacking cruelty or reveling in it. ...

Well-intentioned but inconsistent, 'Jolly LLB' blends elements of a satire and a thriller in this story inspired by the events of the Sanjeev Nanda hit-and-run case of 1999. 'Mere Dad Ki Maruti' has wafer-thin plot and the film is enjoyable mostly for its frills. ...

Tapping into the middle class' increasing frustration over rapid inflation, 'Saare Jahaan Se Mehnga', directed by debutant Anshul Sharma, is a well-intentioned satire constructed around a promising premise. But the film's writers fail to build on their clever central idea, and ultimately deliver an undercooked script that lacks the consistent wit of 2010's 'Phas Gaye Re Obama', that tongue-in-cheek take on recession, set in the world of UP gangsters. ...
