Ohh My Dog
2026 · India Today
Amit Rai's Ohh My Dog turns a missing pet and missing owner into parallel rescue journeys led by a scene-stealing dog. Even when the film runs long and leans on stereotypes, its heart and Oscar's star turn keep the emotion alive.
PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie
2026 · India Today
Fun dinosaur adventure packed with life lessons. The movie sends pups to a dinosaur island where a volcanic eruption sparks another rescue mission, with the film centring Marshall's struggle with self-doubt and resilience.
Babita Singh Reporting
2026 · India Today
The film tackles patriarchy and self-worth but misses its full potential.
Maa Behen
2026 · India Today
A deliciously chaotic dramedy that gets its women just right. The dramedy uses gossip, crime and family friction to show how society misreads women.
Ikkis
2026 · India Today
Ikkis narrates the story of young soldier Arun Khetarpal's valour in the 1971 war. The film sensitively explores war's lasting personal and familial trauma beyond patriotic heroism.
O'Romeo
2026 · India Today
In O' Romeo, Vishal Bhardwaj crafts a visually stunning gangster-romance led by Shahid Kapoor. However, despite poetic frames and intense performances, the film struggles with an uneven screenplay and an underwhelming emotional pay-off.
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man
2026 · India Today
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man reframes war through a deeply personal lens, following Tommy Shelby as he grapples with power, legacy, and inner conflict in a world shaped by ongoing violence.
Do Deewane Seher Mein
2026 · India Today
Do Deewane Seher Mein explores a love story rooted in imperfections and emotional scars. The film highlights how childhood wounds influence adult relationships and healing.
Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos
2026 · India Today
Vir Das's Happy Patel breaks traditional spy film clichés with humour and heart. The film's unique blend of genres offers an entertaining, madcap cinematic experience.
Passenger
2026 · India Today
Andre Ovredal's road horror never fully reaches its destination. The film finds its strongest note in Maddie's growing need for stability, even as the horror leans on familiar scares.
7 Dogs
2026 · India Today
The Saudi Arabian film, which also stars Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt, leans on relentless spectacle, playful action and brief but striking star turns rather than deeper emotion.
Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past
2026 · India Today
The film's mystery holds attention, but weak VFX and minimal scares limit its impact.
The Rip
2026 · India Today
The Rip is a fast, old-school action thriller with great Matt Damon–Ben Affleck chemistry. Set in Miami, it mixes flashy action with a familiar crime plot, making it an easy, late-night watch that Indian audiences will enjoy.
Border 2
2026 · India Today
Border 2 delivers patriotism and emotional depth through brewing battle sequences and a commanding Sunny Deol, emerging as a polished tribute to sacrifice and service.
Cocktail 2
2026 · India Today
The visual polish and big ideas cannot hide the weak emotional stakes in Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna-starrer. The story follows a long-term relationship disrupted by a glamorous new entrant, but the script belongs on reality TV rather than the big screen.
Swapped
2026 · India Today
The film pairs handsome visuals and committed voice work with a body-swap story that stays resolutely safe.
Kartavya
2026 · India Today
The film's ideas land, but its soft-edged execution blunts the force of its anger.
Minions & Monsters
2026 · India Today
The film uses that rise and fall to tell a warm story about dreams, friendship and loyalty.
Baby Do Die Do
2026 · India Today
Led by the excellent Huma Qureshi and backed by confident, tightly written storytelling, Baby Do Die Do does exactly that. At a time when women-led films are often pushed to streaming, Baby Do Die Do reminds us that they deserve theatrical confidence too. Not every film needs to reinvent cinema; some just need to entertain.
Ikka
2026 · India Today
Sunny Deol, Akshaye Khanna courtroom thriller is two decades late
Moana
2026 · India Today
The remake delivers spectacle and sincerity, but its safest choices leave Johnson's Maui doing much of the heavy lifting.
Evil Dead Burn
2026 · India Today
Evil Dead Burn pushes the franchise's signature gore to new extremes, but mistakes gore for horror, delivering more blood than scares.
The Odyssey
2026 · India Today
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey blends myth, emotion and breathtaking spectacle into one unforgettable journey. Anchored by Matt Damon's brilliant performance, it's a film that demands to be seen on the biggest screen.
120 Bahadur
2025 · India Today
Despite sincere performances and stunning visuals, the film falls short of delivering a deeply moving war drama.
