If there's even the slightest chance of a laugh, its dummy cast ensures the joke doesn't land, feels Sukanya Verma.

The answers will come -- hopefully! -- when the film releases on August 15, feels Syed Firdaus Ashraf.

Arjun Patiala doesn't add up to be the spoof it was meant to be, complains Prasanna D Zore.

We'll publish the best ones on Rediff.com.

It is only in the second half that Batla House has gripping moments, feels Prasanna D Zore.

What Reader Ahwaan thought of Batla House.

War ticks all the components of a masala action entertainer, there's not a single dull moment.

Pati Patni Aur Woh looks like a old wine in a new bottle and though Kartik Aaryan seems to be acing in his home turf, for a change, it would have been nice if the makers had made the film as a intense love story rather than a rom-com.

Satellite Shankar is a fun, time-pass film, feels Prasanna D Zore.

We give you *your* space to tell us just what you thought of Pagalpanti.

Pati Patni Aur Woh cannot decide whether it wants to be the climax of a Priyadarshan comedy or give the cad a dose of his own medicine brand of cheeky payback, writes Sukanya Verma.

'Panipat has all the meat for a political drama meets war movie. But in Ashutosh Gowariker's failure to process its complexity, the material never rises beyond a mediocre hurray to the Maratha manoos,' says Sukanya Verma.

A cheap version of his opus Jodhaa Akbar, Ashutosh Gowariker's Panipat falls flat on its face at every end, with lacklustre writing and terrible character definition proving to be the movie's ultimate undoing, feels Rediff reader Anu Gopinath.

Chhapaak is a must watch for the script, the acting performances, and Meghna Gulzar's commitment to telling a real story, feels Rediff reader Sid.

Director Ahmed Khan could not do justice to the story. And this is the biggest weakness of the film, feels Deepak Mishra.

A real life tale is always exciting, especially when done right, and so you are hooked to the proceedings right from the word go, applauds Joginder Tuteja.

State of Siege 26/ 11 leaves you shocked and wide-eyed, says Joginder Tuteja.

'Even a hardcore nit-picker will struggle to find faults in this extraordinarily crafted television series that I rate as a must watch, an instant classic,' says Sukanya Verma.

ZEE5 has launched a short film festival. Joginder Tuteja tells you what's on offer.
