Jannat 2
This is the kind of film that would have gone straight to video in Hollywood, made strictly for a niche audience of a niche film. So dont worry about missing this. Just a matter of time before they make it again as Jannat 3.

Jal
The director and cinematographer don’t seem to be on the same page. It seems they are selling the same product to two different consumers.

Jai Mummy Di
We just keep going round and round in a tiring, boring, humourless circle than things leaping forward with a sense of fun and urgency.

Jai Ho! Democracy
The intentions are right and the situations spot on but apart from a few stinging comments on the polity, it fails to grow into a cogent commentary on the state of affairs.

Jagga Jasoos
The Broadway musical format does give Jagga Jasoos some captivating moments but they don’t quite add up to an entertaining film.

Jabariya Jodi
The redemption then for Jabariya Jodi is fleeting and in spurts. Thanks to a cracking supporting cast, the film isn’t entirely an oppressive watch.

Jab Harry Met Sejal
...marks a thumping return to love at its most banal, hackneyed and exasperating. There is not much in the silly situations and trite conversations to get you invested or interested in the lovers.

Jaanisaar
...Ali falters in picking his lead protagonists and herein lies the difference between Jaanisaar and his magnum opus Umrao Jaan. This canvas looks appealing but it doesn’t converse with you beyond a point.

Ittefaq
...the old Ittefaq, despite you knowing the spoiler, can still hold you in thrall. The new one, despite making a marketing strategy out of a spoiler, just isn’t thrilling enough.

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.

Inkaar
You can’t ignore Inkaar for its sheer topicality and its courage to look a problem in the eye though the director goes into blink mode half way through the film.

Indu Sarkar
If the film is Bhandarkar’s effort to cash in on the nationalist wave of the current times, it surely will bag some brownie points from the current government.

India‘s Most Wanted
If the argument is in favour of providing a thrilling experience, the film doesn’t deliver in that department either. There is restraint and there’s boredom — this one falls under the latter.

Identity Card
A stinging climax and the sprinkling of history of Kashmir in the end credits do make you sit up and take note but you have to be really generous to reach there.

Shankar disappoints this time by mounting an entertainer whose body and heart are not in sync.

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
For a large part it comes across as a pleasant reworking, if not subverting, of the mother of all Hindi romantic comedies.

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.

Hum Chaar
Despite the millennial setting and characters, Hum Chaar feels oddly anachronistic.

Housefull 4
...hurtles south with such a clarity of purpose and desperate urgency that you can review it with just “eye roll” gifs than go hunting for suitable words.

Housefull 3
Housefull 3’s brighter moments are owed to Akshay Kumar and fleetingly by Jackie Shroff – for the rest it’s all puerile silliness.

Highway
He has not reached the destination but Imtiaz makes a brave attempt to extricate himself from the sanitised Highway of Bollywood.
