Last Man in Tower
2026 · Outlook
Ben Rekhi's Last Man In Tower presents a frustratingly defanged adaptation that fails to sharpen the moral stakes inherent in its source material, despite strong performances from Manoj Bajpayee and Divya Dutta.
Mirzapur: The Movie

Director Gurmmeet Singh takes us to an earlier, wishful point in the franchise's timeline, preceding major character deaths, when a certain alliance still seemed possible.
Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups
2026 · Outlook · Aug 2026
It's a great pity then Mohandas' voice gets sanded under the crushing, loud antics of this blood-soaked saga around men, guns and guilt. However, Ujwal Kulkarni's scattershot, frenzied edit constantly drains both poignance and any sustained mood.
Satluj
2026 · Outlook · Jul 2026
Honey Trehan's long-awaited, trenchant political drama casts a deep, wide net into the fear and paranoia Punjab's police struck in its people in the garb of counter-insurgency operations. It's a vicious cycle of violence that was inaugurated by the 1984 anti-Sikh pogrom.
Cocktail 2

In Homi Adajania's Cocktail 2, Shahid Kapoor's loyal, nice Kunal falls into the snare his long-term partner, Diya (Rashmika Mandanna) sets. She gets paranoid about his infidelity which is telegraphed in a distasteful montage designed to be comic. The couple dutifully sticks to boundaries while Ally blasts in as a gale through the tameness, force of habit which Diya and Kunal's relationship had sloughed into.
