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

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.

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.
