Passenger

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.

Maa Behen

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.

The Rip

O'Romeo

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.

Cocktail 2

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.

Baby Do Die Do

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.

Evil Dead Burn

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.
