1. Bhool Chuk Maaf
Romance gets a sci-fi remix in this Varanasi-set charmer. Rajkummar Rao stars as Ranjan, a lovestruck everyman trapped in a hilarious, maddening time loop-forced to relive his Haldi ceremony until he gets it right. With Wamiqa Gabbi lighting up the screen, this film is a riot of color, wit, and heart. It’s the perfect blend of small-town warmth and cosmic mischief.
2. Lilo & Stitch
The beloved Disney classic is back-bigger, brighter, and bursting with heart. This live-action update whisks audiences to the sun-soaked shores of Hawaii, where lonely Lilo and her blue alien buddy, Stitch, redefine what it means to be family. Expect dazzling visuals, laugh-out-loud chaos, and a tidal wave of nostalgia. Bring the kids, or just your inner child.
3. Kesari Veer
Based on true events, Kesari Veer brings to life the stirring tale of Veer Hamirji Gohil, played by Sooraj Pancholi, an unsung warrior who led a valiant revolt to protect the sacred Somnath temple in 14th-century Gujarat. Suniel Shetty joins the narrative as a key ally in this high-stakes battle for faith and legacy, while Vivek Oberoi takes on the role of the formidable antagonist. Touted as a grand historical drama, the film pays homage to the forgotten heroes of Gujarat’s past with powerful performances, compelling storytelling, and cinematic scale that captures the spirit of resistance and sacrifice.
4. ACE
Vijay Sethupathi brings his signature swagger to this offbeat Tamil crime comedy, set against the bustling backdrop of Malaysia. Romance, misadventure, and sharp humor collide as Sethupathi’s character stumbles through love and larceny. With a quirky cast and unpredictable plot twists, ACE is pure entertainment for anyone who loves their comedies with a side of chaos.
5. Narivetta
Raw, riveting, and rooted in real events, this Malayalam political thriller is already making waves. Tovino Thomas leads as a young cop caught in the storm of a tribal village’s fight for survival. With searing performances, tense drama, and a spotlight on land rights and justice, Narivetta is more than a film-it’s a rallying cry.
From supernatural showdowns and sci-fi romance to animated adventures and historical heroics, these films are set to dominate conversations and box office charts alike. Book your seats, grab the popcorn, and get ready for a cinematic season that refuses to play it safe.
