Haiwaan

2026 · India Today

Good performances and flashes of humour cannot overcome the film's slack pacing and uneven menace.

Daayra

Daayra

2026 · India Today

Daayra has real things to say. The question is whether it says them with enough force. But it holds back where it should push forward. The personal stakes of its central character are underdeveloped. The final confrontation doesn't land the way it should.

Nayyi Navelli

2026 · India Today

The first half sets the tone well with funny exchanges and enough mystery to keep you interested. But the second half loses its grip as the story gets deeper into mythology and supernatural powers, and the film struggles to deliver on the promise of its premise.

Udta Teer

Udta Teer

2026 · India Today

Udta Teer is a spy comedy that cleverly blends humour with a tale of mistaken identity and patriotism, featuring Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan. The film's light-hearted approach to espionage, coupled with sharp writing and a strong supporting cast, makes it an entertaining watch.
