Tony
2026 · India Today

One Night Only
2026 · India Today
One Night Only is silly, chaotic and occasionally overstuffed, but it is also surprisingly charming. It makes you chuckle, it makes you cackle, and every once in a while, it catches you completely off guard.
The End of Oak Street

The spectacle lands more strongly than the emotional drama holding the Platts together.

Fall 2: Deadpoint
2026 · India Today

Best of the Best
2026 · India Today
It is too self-aware to be a straightforward Bollywood dance movie, but not consistently incisive enough to become the cultural satire it could have been. Still, there is warmth underneath the comedy.
Heart of the Beast
2026 · India Today
David Ayer's Heart of the Beast sends Brad Pitt's Jim Belmont into the Alaskan wilderness with retired combat dog Odin. Its survival drama works best through their loyalty, dependence and refusal to abandon each other.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
2026 · India Today

Obsession
2026 · India Today

Your Fault: London
2026 · India Today
Your Fault: London keeps Noah and Nick's relationship in constant turmoil but struggles to bring anything fresh to the familiar romance formula. While Asha Banks and Matthew Broome remain watchable, the sequel mistakes endless drama for emotional depth.

Scream 7
