Entertaining and thrilling. Less self-indulgent than the Da Vinci Code.

The Bank Job (2008)

Crazy caper gone wrong but certainly not the best heist movie.

Tolerable save for Shahid's Kapur's SRK imitations.

A Wednesday (2008)
3.5/5
The fantasy of every frustrated Indian stricken by terror. Random background score ruins the mood at times.

Cool performances by Paul Rudd and Jason Segel in an Apatow-inspired bromance

Now this is how you make a con artist movie. I'm talking to you, Bunty & Babli.

Rock On!! (2008)

Entertaining although tries hard to be DCH at time. Great soundtrack though.

Great tale of the personal & emotional cost of war. Without a single shot of violence.

Definitely, Maybe (2008)

Man on Wire (2008)

An incredible quest of the guy and his team to walk the wire between the WTC twin towers.

Shootout at Lokhandwala (2007)
1.5/5
What's with the love for slow motion hero-walking in such crap dramas? Melodrama galore.

What Happens in Vegas (2008)
3.5/5
Funny in parts (great one-liners) but largely your generic run-of-the-mill romantic comedy.

Tropic Thunder (2008)

Howlarious! Robert Downing Jr. and Tom Cruise rock .

Race (2008/I)
1.5/5
Abbas-Mastan still have the early 90s hangover. And what's with that background score?

Defiance (2008)

Your regular 'fighting against the Nazis' heroic true story. No emotional connection.

The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)
3.5/5
Don't expect 'Rush Hour'. Think of Kungfu Panda except not animated and more drama.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)
2.5/5
Narration is sketchy and traveling through history, it isn't. Had a boring middle.

Compelling war tale without being melodramatic as most Indian war movies tend to be.

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008)

Tolerable but only barely. Adi Chopra is clearly obsolete.

The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)
