Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos
2026 · Mid-Day
With his directorial debut, Vir Das rewrites the rules of the Bollywood spy genre, turning it into a laugh-riot.
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
2026 · Mid-Day
The quaternary film, 28 Days Later: The Bone Temple, does the same, pushing the boundaries of the genre by questioning whether the transformation of an infected person is reversible, exploring the collapse of order in society and tackling the idea of a false God. Though tonally different from the previous films, it is rich in visual splendour.
Project Hail Mary
2026 · Mid-Day
Project Hail Mary is an easygoing science-fiction movie about a heavyweight subject - the end of the world. Ryan Gosling shines in this unserious space mission, with his unlikely friendship with an alien Rocky becoming the core of the movie.
Toaster
2026 · Mid-Day
Though Rajkummar Rao plays a miser in Toaster, the film is generous with its laughs. It falls flat due to its absurd premise, which grows even more convoluted.
Normal
2026 · Mid-Day
Odenkirk's performance is sincere and convincing, and he brings humour to the bleak and gory film. Bob Odenkirk stars in yet another film where a normal man unexpectedly turns into a killing machine.
Michael
2026 · Mid-Day
Antoine Fuqua's biopic of Michael Jackson is too reverential and has nothing original to say. The film is too sanitised, bland and flat, with a script that is frustratingly shallow and does not take an interest in digging beneath the surface.
The Devil Wears Prada 2
2026 · Mid-Day
Walking into the theatre to watch The Devil Wears Prada 2, I was anticipating a sequel that was driven by nostalgia and the need to recapture the glories of publishing and luxury fashion, but was happily surprised with a reality check.
