Vadh 2
2026 · India Today
For a whodunit, that is a fatal flaw. The film rarely attempts to mislead or challenge its viewer, and when it does, the effort feels half-hearted. Instead, the film ends up as a reminder of how difficult it is to live up to your own standards, and how unforgiving the thriller genre can be when predictability creeps in.
Om Ka Hari
2026 · India Today
Om Ka Hari does not reinvent the Indian family drama, and its six-days-to-live premise could have been used to dig much deeper into the relationship at its centre. But it does understand something quietly profound about fathers and sons: love can survive years of criticism, disappointment and silence.
The Vvaan - Force of the Forrest
2026 · India Today
The Vvaan does briefly find that emotional core, but keeps wandering away from this promising conflict. The screenplay piles on one idea after another, and whenever the mystery starts taking shape, the screenplay feels compelled to explain it—the more Vvaan tells us about its mythology, the less mysterious it becomes.
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
2026 · India Today
Nia DaCosta's direction breathes fresh energy into the franchise as the focus shifts from zombies to intense human conflict, with Ralph Fiennes, Jack O'Connell, and Alfie Williams at their best.
Made in Korea
2026 · India Today
Made in Korea is a Tamil film that taps into the growing fascination many young Indians have with Korean culture. Through the story of a small-town girl chasing her dream of reaching Seoul, the film explores themes of ambition, identity and cultural curiosity with a gentle, feel-good tone.
Apex
2026 · India Today
The film sets up a tense survival duel but rarely finds the writing or menace to deepen it. A survival drama that feels too familiar.
Hokum
2026 · India Today
Damian McCarthy's film sustains an eerie folklore mood and strong performances, but the narrative grows increasingly uneven. The film builds the fear but forgets the story.
Tu Yaa Main
2026 · India Today
Tu Yaa Main is a gripping thriller that fuses modern romance with edge-of-your-seat survival drama in Mumbai. With strong performances and a twist-filled story, it keeps you hooked, capturing fear, trust, and high-stakes tension in every scene.
Office Romance
2026 · India Today
Jennifer Lopez can do many things. Saving the film isn't one. Slick and watchable, the movie, however, never quite finds the charm or chemistry that makes a romcom linger.
