Dhurandhar: The Revenge

Dhurandhar: The Revenge

2026 · India Today

Dhurandhar: The Revenge is loud, political, and deeply character-driven, refusing to play safe at any point. Ranveer Singh leads a film that knows exactly the impact it wants to leave behind.

Led by a powerful Kangana Ranaut, the film shines a light on nurses, security guards and ordinary citizens, even as its one-woman focus leaves many stories untold.

Border 2

Border 2

2026 · India Today

Border 2 is a sincere, large-scale war film that struggles under the weight of an iconic legacy. Despite visible effort and solid performances, it can't quite recreate the emotional intimacy that made Border unforgettable.

Toaster

Toaster

2026 · India Today

A Rs 5,000 toaster sets off a chain of chaos in this sharp, tightly controlled dark comedy led by Rajkummar Rao's quietly brilliant performance. Smart, strange and consistently engaging, the film balances humour with menace.

Main Vaapas Aaunga

Main Vaapas Aaunga

2026 · India Today

Imtiaz Ali's Main Vaapas Aaunga follows a grandson decoding his dying grandfather's Partition memories. The film reaches for grief and belonging, but its pacing and politics blunt the impact.

Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai

Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai

2026 · India Today

David Dhawan returns to the formula that made him Bollywood's king of comedy - mistaken identities, chaotic romances and jokes that exist in their own universe. The problem is that the audience no longer does. What once felt outrageously entertaining now feels like a relic trying desperately to pass off as nostalgia.

Dhurandhar

Dhurandhar

2025 · India Today

Dhurandhar is Aditya Dhar's most politically assertive film, tracing India's covert operations through real historical tragedies. Ranveer Singh leads with conviction, but Akshaye Khanna delivers the most compelling performance.

De De Pyaar De 2

De De Pyaar De 2

2025 · India Today

Despite its bumps, 'De De Pyaar De 2' remains consistently entertaining. You'll laugh, roll your eyes, and might even find yourself unexpectedly invested in the last-act twist. It doesn't reinvent the rom-com wheel, but it keeps it spinning with enough charm.

Jolly LLB 3

Jolly LLB 3

2025 · India Today

Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi deliver entertaining performances in Subhash Kapoor's courtroom drama, but it's Saurabh Shukla as Judge Tripathi who steals the show. A witty mix of satire, comedy, and social commentary, the film balances laughs with a hard-hitting story.
