Hunterrr
... is way off the mark. It isn't utterly pointless, but it is neither hugely engaging nor particularly insightful.

Humshakals
Even by the pitiable cinematic standards that the director has so defiantly set for himself, Humshakals is the very pits. It scrapes the bottom of a barrel that seems to have no bottom at all.

Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania
To be fair, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania does have some warm passages. But the overall package that it adds up to is about as appetizing as a bottle of beer gone flat.

Hum Tum Aur Ghost
...muddled script, which veers between rom-com, drama and high emotion, in the most meandering way possible.

Housefull 4
Only the very-easy-to-amuse moviegoers will find it funny enough to engage with its crazy, crass convolutions.

Housefull 3
...mindless tale, often hitting dead-ends from where there can be no return to sanity.

Housefull
There is no craft or narrative or characterisation to speak of. Random events and characters, lies and misunderstandings serve to create a low-IQ comedy.

Holiday
...lacks the sustained intensity and urgency of an edge-of-the-seat spy thriller.

Hindi Medium
It isn't possible to completely dislike Hindi Medium. So, ignore its hiccups and watch it for the relevance of the questions it poses and the remarkable quality of the acting.

Highway
Writer-director Imtiaz Ali has hit a road less taken. The result is a stylish two-hander that is defiantly unconventional, if not entirely satisfying.

Hide & Seek
...could have been mildly diverting entertainment but it doesn’t make you scream or shiver.

Hichki
Rani Mukerji's energetic, engaging performance apart, Hichki is a huff-and-puff show marked by too much mush and fuss. But it has just enough to keep tearjerker junkies interested.

Helicopter Eela
The problem with Helicopter Eela is that it allows the drama to trump its comic potential. A little more wit and humour and a little less earnestness might have given the film the wings it wants.

Hawaizaada
The film alternates between the tedious and the excessively outlandish as it negotiates its way through a terrain that is riddled with psychological craters and historical inaccuracies.

Hawaa Hawaai

Haunted
...mist, screeching doors, books that fall by themselves and blaring background music that insists that you be scared. I was trying not to laugh out loud.

Hate Story 3
Hate would be a completely wasted emotion here. Do yourself a favour and just ignore Hate Story 3.

Haseena Parkar
Nothing, therefore, can salvage this insipid biopic from the morass of mediocrity.

Haraamkhor

Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi
...the hilarity quotient is low. The precursor had delivered on at least a part of the promise inherent in the quirky premise. This one goes through the motions without ever coming close to finding a genuine rhythm.

Happy New Year
There is no dearth of gloss in Happy New Year, but everything else in the film, including the content and its treatment, are allowed to go for a toss.

Happy Ending
In the rather patchy but inoffensive Happy Ending, the narrative style is bright and breezy enough to help them paper over the flaws in the screenplay.
