Hero
This is a poorly-written film where the kids don’t seem to have any true allegiance to the parental figures or any consistent morality or conflict, even.

Help
...could have been more convincing and edgy just by doing away with the unnecessary songs.

Hello Darling
...needs to be avoided at all costs. Unless of course gnashing your teeth and wasting your money on mindless, tedious comedy is your favourite hobby.

Helicopter Eela
In the effort to dose Helicopter Eela with humour -- and it's not that a movie on this subject cannot be funny -- the film cuts down on its believability. The loser, as a result is Eela's journey to emancipation. And the audience.

Heartless
Despite being well shot and fairly well edited, this film has nothing of value to offer.

Hawaizaada
...thanks to the film’s half-baked treatment, it is reduced to appearing like a flight of fancy of an impulsive wastrel than an ambitious dream of a strong-willed genius.

Haunted
...fails at reviving the age old haunted-house premise, bringing nothing new to the platter.

Hate Story 3
...is not the film that you hate when it ends; you hate yourself for venturing out to watch such a film.

Hate Story 2
A stale plot with flatly executed scenes of retribution and a lacklustre leading lady; Hate Story 2 is too trivial to be erotic or thrilling.

Hate Story
Publicised purely on the strength of its 'erotic' content and scandalously adult themes, Hate Story delivers very little actual heat.

Haseena Parkar
Shraddha tries hard to rescue the film, but the script totters so badly in the second half that any salvage seems impossible.

Hasee Toh Phasee
...is that rare film that allows you to know the two people you’re investing in. And the closer you get, the more they win you over.

Haraamkhor
...may not appeal to the regular Bollywood audience but if you’re a Nawazuddin Siddiqui fan and love watching performance-oriented films, this shouldn’t be missed at all.

Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi
Without novelty or sense, the gag's already on thin ground and relies entirely on the loony camaraderie of its ensemble cast to work, which it does but only sporadically.

Happy New Year
This could have been a much better film if only it had dared to move out of its comfort zone. Happy New Year is a film that’s bound to make you feel good, but trust me, the feeling won’t last.

Happy Ending
...at its core, is pretentious and doesn’t quite live up to expectations, save for Govinda, who lights up the screen with his mere presence and those legendary moves.

Happy Bhag Jayegi
...when the actors flanking Happy are so talented and endearing to watch. If Happy Bhag Jayegi succeeds in delivering a few laughs, it's entirely to their credit.

Half Girlfriend
The constant issue in Half Girlfriend is its wimpy characters and the contrivances they resort to arrive at its predictable conclusion. Stupidity is responded with equal, if not more, stupidity.

Haider
...a knockout, a film that makes you smell corpses, that makes you shudder with melancholia, and a film that points accusing fingers. A film that doesn't flinch.

Hacked
...has plenty of highs for Hina Khan fans but apart from that, there's not much to look for in the film.

Guzaarish
The film tries far too desperately to evoke what Bollywood calls the 'feelgood' factor, but ends up evoking more apathy than empathy. Guzaarish starts off slow and beautiful, but gradually, sadly congeals into a wet mess.

Gurgaon
Director Shanker Raman, with an appetite for noir and a natural temperament for fast-cutting, takes you so swiftly and so deeply inside Gurgaon's anomie that you may mistake his vision of the city for some dystopian view of the future.

Gunday
Occasionally, blemished scripts too are salvaged by solid performances. Gunday is inconsistent on that front as well.

Gully Boy
...Akhtar grabs our hand and walks us through a world that few of us know, even though it exists in Mumbai and other parts of India.
And now we are blessed to have witnessed that world, breathed its smells and most importantly heard its sounds.
