Ishaqzaade
Writer-Director Habib Faisal succeeds to a great extent in crafting an unpredictable first half full of spunk and spirit, but plays it boringly safe in the second, offering no new solutions or fresh perspectives in a story that has been done to death.

Hunterrr
In its current form, this Hunterrr is more horny than trigger-happy. He just walks around with a gun and rarely fires — except once in the whole film.

Humshakals
Trying to review or analyse this Sajid Khan film is like sending a child-crafted-claymated monkey for a brain scan and hoping to find proof of brain activity.

Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania
What’s commendable here is that Khaitan knows he is dealing with a film we all love and makes up for the borrowing by adding a lot of witty touches and subtly changing everything that doesn’t work today.

Heroine
The only realistic thing here is that Bollywood is as predictable as a Bhandarkar film.

Hawaizaada
...despite all the painstaking effort that’s gone into recreating an era, is devoid of anything even remotely exciting and given the material and the premise, this is a criminal waste of an idea.

Hawaa Hawaai
...may seem predictable but it’s the treatment and storytelling that make it rise above the sports movie template. Sheer poetry.

Hasee Toh Phasee
...the fine little details, the quips and the quirks and the twist to the cliché make it a fairly watchable film.

Happy New Year
...could steal your heart if you don’t use your head. When you wake up the next morning, you probably won’t remember much. Except that you laughed out loud a few times for some strange reason.

Haider
Get your minds blown. Forget your phone, forget your watch. Brush up on your Shakespeare or at least Wiki it. And you will find Haider to be a truly rewarding cinematic experience.

Gunday
If only the director had the guts to channel all the sexual tension into a Brokeback Mountain-esque love story instead of this faux bromance. Unfortunately, the characters are completely in denial of this chemistry and stick to the unwritten rules of the System.

Go Goa Gone
Neither here or there. It’s not art house. But it’s not entirely mainstream either. It’s not a satisfying zombie film. It’s not a full on comedy either.

Ghanchakkar
...though it is fun as you watch it unfold, it is also mostly forgettable, offering us very few moments to hold on to.

Gangs Of Wasseypur 2
You might wish it had a deeper emotional core or some meaning but Kashyap just wants to leave his fingerprints over every frame without judging who’s right and who’s wrong.

Gangs Of Wasseypur
All that coolth and pop realism may do well with the die hard Kashyap cult but for the rest of us who paid to watch a bloody saga of revenge, it seems like a long wait at the circus.

Fukrey
...may not be laugh-out-loud funny as Delhi Belly, but the charming subtleties, detail to character and credibility of milieu makes it one hell of a ride.

Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami
If you are willing to suspend disbelief for the outrageous second half after a realistic first, you might just dig this heart warming ode to the common man.

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu
A new beginning for Hindi cinema except that every other scene is inspired by another film.

Dirty Politics
...very bit of this film — story, structure, sensibility, stunts and moral — is from an eighties film.

Department
It's high time the filmmaker struggling with form realised that this nauseatingly gimmicky camerawork he has been afflicted with in his last few films distracts from the story.

Dedh Ishqiya
...is that rare kind of film that borrows from the Westerns, as much as it does from Indian cinema and even Urdu literature. It’s a curious mix — the best of the West and the East, the old and the new, the classy and the cheap — done seamlessly and effortlessly.

Dabangg 2
If Abhinav Kashyap tried his best to keep things realistic before going all out loud and turning it into a spoof of a Rajni film, Arbaaz Khan, the director of Dabanng 2 has no pretensions of objectivity or sanity.
