Movie Reviews

Hulchul (2004)

A rather dismal attempt at creating the magic of Hera Pheri

Hum Ho Gaye Aap Ke (2001)

Fangled melodrama would have been more at home in the 70's

Hum Kisise Kum Nahin (2002)

Looks like David Dhawan has arrived at a very dead end

Humraaz (2002)

Reworking of The Perfect Murder is a fair effort with fair performances

Hum To Mohabbat Karega (2000)

Trying to fuse slapstick and crime caper, the director comes a cropper

Hum Tum (2004)

Good intentions aside, poor direction and a dire script cripple this dull affair

Hero (2003)

The Gadar team reunite for more (im)potent and dodgy patriotism

Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega (2000)

 insufferable dose of comedy and convoluted drama..........pretty horrid stuff

Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai (2000)

sensitively made and well acted, finally a slightly more mature film

Hadh Kar di Apne (2000)

Whacky romance, a bit like a 60s caper... almost quite amusing

Hadh (2001)

execrable rot which almost defies all description due to its sheer awfulness

Haasil (2003)

Set against a backdrop of university politics - good effort but no cigar

Haan Maine Bhi Pyar Kiya Hai (2002)

Formula tale of a love triangle and its tribulations is truly stale stuff

Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam (2002)

 turgid rubbish of the worst kind... thought they grew out of crap like this

Hungama (2003)

Attempt at old-fashioned slapstick comedy goes rather awry

Gunaah (2002)

Interesting premise about a bad cop goes sadly off the tracks

Grahan (2001)

A familiar tale of wronged women seeking justice and vengeance

Godmother (1999)

The typical political corruption saga gets a feminist angle this time around

Ghulam (1998)

Well-constructed tale of two brothers on a collision course to destruction.

Ghaath (2000)

Very stale wine in not so new a bottle....offers nothing fresh or novel at all

Garv (2004)

Hackneyed, predictable, mind-dulling fodder aimed at the "interiors"

Gangaajal (2003)

Excellent tale of dark dealings and police corruption and brutality

Gadar - Ek Prem Katha (2001)

A sickening attempt at exploiting one of the worst ever human tragedies

Filhaal (2002)

modern 'relationship' drama that doesn't quite work despite fine acting

Fida (2004)

Reasonable thriller that fails to deliver what it promised.

Fiza (2000)

Sensitive and strongly acted drama of a family devastated by loss

Elaan (2005)

Horrendous and utterly misguided "tribute" to Sholay

Ek Rishtaa - THE BOND OF LOVE (2001)

Old-fashioned yarn about never, never trusting a book by its cover!

Escape From Taliban (2003)

Ek Chhoti Si Love Story (2002)

Cheap and crude exploitation fare has no redeeming features

Dev (2004)

Stunning film explores communal violence with a unique insight

Devdas (2002)

epic is hyped as being the most expensive film ever produced in Bollywood!

Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke (2000)

another uninspired re-run of Dilwale Dulhania.....or A Walk in the Clouds

Dhadhkan (2000)

an old fashioned triangle, well told and fairly well executed

Dhoom (2004)

A lightweight but fun caper - Bollywood does the Fast & Furious thing!

Dil Chahta Hai (2000)

Stunning debut by Farhan Akhtar promises a glittering career ahead
