Most Divergent Takes

Mahaprabhu Jagannath

Mahaprabhu Jagannath

2026 · India Today

Mahaprabhu Jagannath centres on a fierce conflict between blind arrogance and divine faith, using that conflict to frame belief, fear and the pull between ego and devotion in a devotional saga celebrating victory of good over evil.

Nakhrewaalii

Nakhrewaalii

2026 · India Today

Nakhrewaalii attempts to address patriarchal conditioning and female agency through a cross-dressing trope, but the film gets lost in redundant tropes and clichéd execution despite its well-intended message and earnest performances.

Other Mommy

Other Mommy

2026 · India Today

While Savage builds an intriguing metaphor around marital infidelities, suppressed guilt, and a young girl's emotional conflict, the narrative loses its grip under an over-reliance on repetitive jump scares, visceral body horror, and monotonous shock value. Other Mommy remains a watchable entry for fans of the genre due to its strong cast, but it ultimately sacrifices emotional depth for predictable theatrical thrills.

Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar

Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar

2026 · India Today

Ultimately, Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar suffers from cliched narrative beats and redundant writing. Yet, buoyed by confident performances from its young cast and a soulful album, it manages to hold its ground.

Heer Sara

Heer Sara

2026 · India Today

In trying to balance progressive ideals with slice-of-life realism, Heer Sara foregrounds sisterhood, queer acceptance and emotional estrangement. But can a well-intended story alone mask pacing issues and familiar tropes?

Greenland 2: Migration

Greenland 2: Migration

2026 · India Today

In a frozen world of loss, director Ric Roman Waugh's 'Greenland 2: Migration' warms the soul with its depiction of family resilience, selfless aid, and rediscovered humanity — reminding the world that kindness and community are the greatest shields against chaos.
