Top B-town films to watch out in rest of 2014

2014 is in its mid-way and several Bollywood films have already made their mark while others have failed to do the same. Films which have set the scores high in 2014 are Queen, Highway and Two States while others like Gunday, Yaariyan, Gulaab Gang failed to strike the right chord with the audience.
