Are TOI Movie ratings any good??

Its a well known fact that Times of India (TOI) is no good from english perspective(can read CAT). In India where every week many movies are released and it is impossible to watch all of them. So comes the necessity to chose and hence we need to know how good or bad a movie is. The movie reviews are the thing that are supposed to help us. The thing that strikes me is the consistency with which TOI gives 4/5 stars to movies which not even deserve two stars. There is long line of such movies like James, Shiva, Kaminay, Dev-D to name a few which all got rave reviews but according to me didnt deserve those ratings. I doubt if these ratings are geniune or are they biased (using money power). The irony is that not only bad movies get good ratings but also some better movies get bad rating which directly effects the viewership of these movies.
The case with me is that I never chose to watch a movie which gets more than 3 stars and more often than not its a good decision. The bottomline is that TOI movie ratings are total bakwaas and you can never ever trust them to choose a movie.
