  • Jazbaa

    If only Gupta had gone a little easy on the unnecessary and intrusive melodrama. Even then, it’s a good one time watch for sure.

  • Jai Ho

    ...talking about or analysing this movie might be a futile exercise, considering that even as I write this, there are scores of ‘bhaifans’ out there beaming inside a theatre and enjoying themselves, no matter how bad the film is.

  • Jai Gangaajal

    Jha yet again successfully revisits the world he’s so familiar with, the rampant hooliganism, the fascinating and colourful lingo that we are all familiar with, largely thanks to Jha’s earlier films.

    You get the grandeur and the old-world charm that you expect from an Ali film, but unfortunately he seems to have lost touch with the finesse.

    It is one thing to set out to make a gritty film in Banaras, but it is another thing to have enough discipline and a great script to pull it off.

    Director Shankar's formula is simple. He keeps you so spellbound with visuals and joy and craziness that you meekly accept the lack of logic in several places and yes, a bit of tackiness too.

    Watch it if brazen in your face is enough to titillate you. If not, let's wait for a more mature film dealing with sex.

  • Humshakals

    Silly, irreverent humour is always a welcome change. But braindead, childish (sorry children, don't roll your eyes yet) pathetic attempt at funny is not.

  • Housefull 3

    You enter a theatre expecting the film to be silly and absurd. And even then, you end up laughing in amazement at the level of nonsense that it reaches.

  • Heropanti

    The script and the film are on a tumble downhill right from the start and ultimately hit the rock bottom of utter nonsense and unintended hilarity.

  • Hero

    Nikhil Advani had a hit story, a fresh young pair of actors at his disposal and he unfortunately chose the safe route of the same old, with all the commercial trappings intact.

  • Heartless

    The movie has an interesting premise but a better execution would have been welcome. Also, a little more logic in the storyline would have helped the film.

  • Hawaizaada

    Nothing is more disappointing than a director overlooking details while creating an entirely different era for you.

  • Hawaa Hawaai

    While most of the film is delightful and tugs at your heart, at some points, it seemed like the screenplay has been manipulated to get the audiences’ empathy. Not such a bad thing, now only if the effort didn’t show.

  • Happy New Year

    Director Farah Khan offers a fully masaledaar entertainer yet again and as is her style, serves it with a side dish of dollops of delightful self-deprecating humour.

  • Happy Ending

    It is sure disappointing that a film which gives you hopes of being an intelligent, witty satire, ends up being as predictable and soppy as the film it intended to make fun of.

  • Hamari Adhuri Kahani

    With a protagonist so out of sync with the time and age she lives in, dialogues (Shagufta Rafiq), which seemed to belong to some other bygone era and somehow strayed into 2015, forced intensity and a story defying logic, this film is a disappointment.

  • Haider

    Rejoice. The sensitive storyteller is back in his element. Vishal Bharadwaj brings alive the ecstasy, pain and passion of Hamlet on screen.

  • Gunday

    ...attempts to bring back that time, that bravado and a whole mish-mash of action sequences from films such as Deewar and the like. Unfortunately, everything rings as false as the mile-long eyelashes of the cabaret dancer Nandita, played by Priyanka Chopra.

  • Gulaab Gang

    Soumik Sen would have been better off making a masala film where a male hero beats up dozens of villain's cronies and everyone goes home happy. That way, there wouldn't be any false expectations. This one is as fake as a pink elephant.
