The Odyssey
2026 · Indian Express
Christopher Nolan transforms Homer's timeless tale of war, guilt and redemption into a visually spectacular epic, led by a career-best Matt Damon and impressive performances from Anne Hathaway and Tom Holland.
Remarkably Bright Creatures
2026 · Indian Express
Remarkably Bright Creatures is as much a sugary and sentimental tale as it is a moving account of love and grief. However, the two-time Academy Award–winning actor Field lends her emotional heft and artistic range to make this whimsical yet profound live-action drama relatable. Ultimately, Remarkably Bright Creatures is a reassuring tale of optimism and resilience that help human beings rebuild their lives after suffering setbacks.
Ladies First
2026 · Indian Express
Rosamund Pike cannot fully rescue this uneven comedy about men navigating a world dominated by women. The French original should have gone for some fresh approaches to look at how the patriarchal mindset is difficult to dislodge, but instead packages old wine in a new bottle with dated ideas about gender-based discrimination.
Hope
2026 · Indian Express
My Melbourne's four segments — Nandini, Jules, Emma and Setara — are moving explorations of the characters' sense of self and identity. What stays with the viewer after watching My Melbourne, an anthology comprising four short films, is the journeys of people who made the Australian coastal town their home and their resilience as they rebuild a life there.
Frankenstein
2025 · Indian Express
Del Toro, who has always humanised monsters and misfits in his work, blends that empathy with his trademark visual grandeur. Frankenstein is both spectacular and moving, fusing Gothic horror with emotional depth. With Frankenstein, del Toro infuses beauty into horror, crafting a world that is as majestic as it is dreadful.
Past Lives
2023 · Indian Express
Playwright Celine Song's film debut, Past Lives, is a nuanced exploration of love and longing as two childhood sweethearts drift in and out of each other's lives.
John Wick: Chapter 4
2023 · Indian Express
The Keanu Reeves fronted action franchise aims higher with elaborate and intricate action sequences spanning continents.
Fukrey 3
2023 · Indian Express
The Pulkit Samrat-Richa Chadha-Pankaj Tripathi film stays true to its slapstick tone that draws heavily from scatological humour. The gags, though downright silly, manages to elicit laughter.
Sense and Sensibility
2026 · Indian Express · Oct 2026
Oakley's interpretation gives their journeys a contemporary inflection, with Elinor learning to embrace emotional honesty and Marianne encouraged to retain her individuality rather than transform herself to fit societal expectations. In Oakley's telling, their journeys are not simply about finding love but about discovering the ability to define happiness on their own terms.
Sumo Didi
2026 · Indian Express · Oct 2026
The film may not have the budget or star power of sports dramas like 83 or Chandu Champion, but its heart's in the right place. Though the narrative could have used more dramatic tension to show the setbacks testing her resolve, Bhagnani's credible performance and the film's sincere statement about body acceptance and a woman who refuses to let other people's perceptions define her make it a worthwhile watch.
Mutiny
2026 · Indian Express · Aug 2026
As action shifts between the deep sea and devils in the Jason Statham-starrer Mutiny, the plot remains wafer-thin.
