मंगल पुर रेलवे स्टेशन पर ट्रेन के इंतज़ार में बैठे चार युवकों को एक बाबा कहानी सुना रहा है कि कुछ साल पहले यहां शादियां नहीं हुआ करती थीं क्योंकि वधूसुर नामक राक्षस वधुओं को उठा लेता था। फ्लैश बैक में कहानी दिखने लगती है जिसमें लंदन में रहने वाला (अक्षय कुमार) अपने दादा की वसीयत से मिले महल में मंगलपुर आया है ताकि अपनी बहन की शादी यहां कर सके। इसके लिए वेडिंग प्लानर (परेश रावल), उसके सहयोगी, महल का मैनेजर (असरानी), नौकर-चाकर भी यहां हैं। एक राक्षस भी है, उससे भिड़ने के लिए गुरु जी और उनका चेला है। हीरो की बहन आती है, उसके ससुराल वाले, ज्योतिषी, और भी कई सारे लोग। एक हीरोइन भी बीच-बीच में आती-जाती रहती है। ज़ाहिर है कि इस भीड़भाड़ में कॉमेडी, डर, रोमांच, रोमांस जैसे रस निकलते-बहते रहते हैं।

Two decades ago, Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar — Paresh Rawal and Asrani from their winning Hera Pheri team thrown into the mix — meshed horror with comedy to deliver Bhool Bhulaiyaa, a film that brought together folklore and urban legend, superstition and psychology, to make for an engaging watch. Monjulika became a part of modern Bollywood lore, and the film’s nostalgic hook was enough to spur two more films, but without Akshay or Priyadarshan involved. So when the news arrived that the hit combo was set to return with a film together after 15 years, and that too a horror comedy, expectations naturally soared. But we are living in a time where the genre has taken a leap with the Stree films, powered as they are with social commentary and the overturning of many a formula. Bhooth Bangla — misplaced comedy in the first half, inadequate horror in the second, mangled mess as a whole — is definitely not the film we were hoping for when we walked in.
Fri, April 17 2026
Built between fear and farce, Bhooth Bangla seeks to rekindle the magic that Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar created in Bhool Bhulaiyaa before Anees Bazmee and Kartik Aaryan took the franchise forward with two spiritual successors. As the OGs of situational comedy lay claim to humor in the haunted mansion, we discover that originality has long been lost in its cobwebs. The result is a forced trip down nostalgia lane, packaged as a summer holiday entertainer, where a few wisecracks, a couple of jump scares manage to seep through the ceiling, but even they feel like leaks from outdated plumbing after a point.
Matka King

Can a house of cards be built on honesty and integrity? Can it hold the weight of ambition? Director Nagraj Manjule turns the irony into an eight-episode series that gives increasing returns. Inspired by the life of Ratan Khatri, the controversial figure who democratised the way Bombay gambled in the 1960s and 1970s by transforming a simple household earthen pot — used in homes for storing water — into a symbol of a massive underground gambling empire, the character-driven series captures how he positioned Matka not just as clever branding but a strategic innovation that made the game of numbers accessible, transparent, and scalable.

Looking at the glittering malls, spiffy offices, high-end restaurants and luxury high rises of Lower Parel today, it’s tough to imagine that five decades ago, this was a part of Mumbai – or Bombay as it was then called – the elite never stepped into. This was where textile mills thrived and workers went on a much-politicised strike when the first move was made to down the shutters and turn the area into swank, upper-crust commercial and residential property. This was also where politics and the police force played their part when Matka King Ratan Khatri came up with a unique gamble and prospered beyond imagination. Winning and losing in large numbers became an addiction for workers of the area while elsewhere too, the Matka King’s game was played in various towns and rural districts.
Toaster

Murder and chaos erupt when a miser becomes obsessed with a toaster he gave as a wedding gift.

Rajkummar Rao, Sanya Malhotra, Abhishek Banerjee, Upendra Limaye, Seema Pahwa, Farah Khan, Archana Puran Singh, Jitendra Joshi, Pratik Gandhi, Patralekhaa
Director:
Vivek Daschaudary
Fri, April 17 2026
It’s a sweet premise. A scrooge named Ramakant (Rajkummar Rao) who’ll go to any lengths to save even six rupees. A wife named Shilpa (Sanya Malhotra) who won’t think twice before buying a decent wedding gift. A housing complex for seniors, the low rent just right for the miser. Neighbour D’souza Aunty (Seema Pahwa) who offers toast and a reduction in rent to eternally scrimping Ramakant. Glenn D’souza (Abhishek Banerjee), somewhat shady. Elderly Pherwani Aunty (Archana Puransingh). Sleazy minister Amol Amre (Jitendra Joshi) who must get his hands on a video clip exposing him as a womaniser. Inspector Balagode (Upendra Limaye), dispatched by the minister to deal with the blackmailer and retrieve the incriminating video. Ramakant on a mission to get back the expensive toaster he’d gifted a couple whose wedding has been called off.
Thu, April 16 2026
Ramakant, a miserly middle-class man is obsessed with saving every penny. When a wedding he and his wife (Sanya Malhotra) attended is abruptly called off, he embarks on a bizarre, relentless quest to get back the expensive toaster they gifted. His pursuit results in series of mishaps, accidental murders, blackmail, amidst a group of eccentric neighbours. It is simply a bad day at work for Rajkummar Rao. While he has pulled off comedies effortlessly before, this one is too much of a farce to salvage, and the cluelessness is visible on screen. Sanya Malhotra puts up a neat show, as she generally does, though her role contributes little to the proceedings.
Thu, April 16 2026
There is something about Rajkummar Rao’s comic timing — subtle or not — that always hits home. In Ludo, we saw it in the undying love that his ’80s-styled character had for Mithunda — displayed via moves, mohawk and the breathless rattling of the menu at the joint he served in as a waiter. In one of his earlier films, Talaash, where he played the supporting role of a cop, his character’s dilemma to stay or leave, while in the background, when his boss, played by Aamir Khan, engages in a shouting match with his wife (Rani Mukerji) in a public space, proved to be a masterclass in understated lightness in a scene that was otherwise exceptionally intense. In Stree 2, a franchise that has given him immense opportunity to flaunt his comedic chops, the scene where his Vicky desperately mimics Jana’s (Abhishek Banerjee) mother in wholly unintelligible phrases just to drown out her grating voice, is meme gold.

Director:
Manu Anand
Fri, April 17 2026
Catastrophic. When more than one character uses this word in a spy thriller, you know that it means just one thing: Global destruction. In Manu Anand’s latest, Mr X, we hear it a few times, and every single time, the weight of the destruction-in-wait is clear. The potential attack has the capacity to obliterate an entire State, and since this is a Tamil film, it is the state of Tamil Nadu, which is in danger, and we have our homegrown R&AW agents who do the thankless job of saving the nation. But despite the massive threat of a nuclear attack, personal equations of the agents jeopardising the mission, and a couple of flashbacks too many, Mr X manages to entertain as long as we, just like the makers, don’t take the film too seriously.
Pallichattambi

Small-town schemer Chattambi survives by staying ahead of his neighbors through risky plans. When his plans backfire, he has to depend on extricating himself from the mess he created.

A film’s mood is established in its initial few minutes. Pallichattambi opens with massive hype surrounding a feudal lord who oppresses people, without revealing his face. The narrative follows how the Church stood against the communist government in the 1950s, highlighting the history of the Liberation Struggle. Set in 1958 in the village of Kaaniyar, the story follows the Church as it seeks a strong protector against the rising influence of Communist workers. They find Krishnan Pillai, also known as Pallichattambi (the church rowdy), as their unlikely messiah. Pillai arrives in Kaaniyar as Pothan Christopher with the sole aim of halting the spread of communism.
Dacoit

Director:
Shaneil Deo
Thu, April 16 2026
This Telugu-Hindi thriller, meant to be a fast-paced romance between two good-looking people from opposite sides of the tracks, proves a few things: plots trying to be new shouldn’t feel familiar, it’s never a good idea to waste Prakash Raj, and that Anurag Kashyap needs to act a lot more, as he literally saves this film from sinking. It’s good to have Adivi Sesh back in action, building on his kinetic Kshanam-Goodachari persona. But his conflicted convict Hari, out for revenge against the love of his life (Mrunal Thakur), whom he holds responsible for his ruin, is overwrought. More underwhelming is Thakur as Saraswati, the upper-class, upper-caste woman whose idea of showing her lover a good time is to teach him how to drive on a straight road.

In cinema, or in the worlds that inspire it, some concepts are inherently dated. One such relic is dacoity. What do you picture when you hear of a film titled Dacoit? I go straight to the Chambal Valley, or maybe think of a Veerappan type, clad in camouflage, sporting a handlebar moustache, clutching hunting guns with a bullet rack slung diagonally across the torso. Given the dubious ways of Telugu cinema, I would at least expect one of those routine one-man battles against the system to protect mothers and sisters. Shaneil Deo’s film, however, delivers none of that. Instead, Dacoit tries to be everything else, none of which resembles a dacoit.

Cast:

Wed, April 15 2026
It takes a village to raise a child and the latest Apple TV series, Margot’s Got Money Troubles, enforces that notion. Created by David E. Kelley, it stars Elle Fanning in the lead as the title character, Margo Millet. Margo’s life does a 180 degrees once she becomes pregnant, but she remains committed to being the best mother that she can be to her child. The eight-part series takes some unexpected turns, particularly after Margo decides to create an OnlyFans account to earn money. But it’s the performances from the stellar cast that keeps the series grounded, as they all come together to help Margo raise her baby.
Euphoria S03
Drama (English)
A group of high school students navigate love and friendships in a world of drugs, sex, trauma, and social media.
Cast:
Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow, Eric Dane, Martha Kelly, Chloe Cherry, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje
Wed, April 15 2026
The Euphoria that fans loved from 2019 to 2022 is no more. The HBO series is back after four years for a third season with a five-year time jump to show the characters out of high school. But this new version of Euphoria has gone through a rehaul and the premiere episode has turned into a bizarre Western with Zendaya’s Rue leading the charge. While the writing and direction are largely uneven, the actors save the muddled attempt at Euphoria 2.0, which is still worth tuning in to, for nostalgia’s sake.

Raman and Jayanti invite friends to a resort to celebrate their tenth anniversary. The party turns nasty when a guest, Sohrab Handa, starts bullying everyone and exposing their secrets. By morning, Sohrab is found murdered. Since the house was locked, the killer must be one of the friends. Inspector Qureshi arrives to find the truth, proving that even ‘nice’ people can hide a deadly streak.
Sat, April 11 2026
Without much ado, the film comes straight to the point. A man, but obviously Sohrab Handa (Vinay Pathak), is found murdered in a living room. For those of us who have seen ‘Knives Out’, the basic template does not come as a surprise. A whole lot of men and women, relatives and friends have assembled in this picturesque getaway home. Expectedly, the fingers of suspicion point in all possible directions. There is the disgruntled father (MK Raina), sleepwalking wife Isha (Koel Purie), business partner Raman Chawla (Neil Bhoopalam) who we later learn wants Sohrab out of their business, and TV anchor Kumar (Danish Husain) of a crime show, ‘Pardafaash’. Like most things here, this name hasn’t been chosen randomly.
Fri, April 10 2026
Quietly subversive and more interested in human frailty than genre payoffs, Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa is a quintessential Rajat Kapoor film. It doesn’t reinvent the whodunit, but it humanises it, turning a murder mystery into a mirror held up to the insidious violence we inflict on the people we claim to love. The final reveal and tonal balance don’t fully satisfy, but it is a respectable experiment that fiercely tugs at the deepest strings of the heart. To celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary, Raman (Neil Bhoopalam) and Jayanti (Palomi Ghosh) invite a close group of friends and family for an intimate getaway at a sprawling century-old mansion in the hills. Among the guests is Raman’s business partner, Sohrab Handa (Vinay Pathak), a sharp-tongued, unapologetically abrasive presence who dominates every conversation with his acid wit and honesty. Sohrab is perceptive, knowing which insecurities to poke and how to cloak them in humour.
The Boys S05
Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Action & Adventure (English)
A group of vigilantes known informally as “The Boys” set out to take down corrupt superheroes with no more than blue-collar grit and a willingness to fight dirty.

Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Nathan Mitchell
Sun, April 12 2026
After seven years and 32 episodes, The Boys is finally in its home stretch. The Amazon Prime Video series, based on the comic book series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, features a group called The Boys that wants to take down egomaniacal Homelander (Antony Starr), the leader of the world’s Supes. With each season, Homelander has become more and more deranged and powerful. As the stories in the superhero satire begin to echo the real-life events of our world, the show has turned into more of a drama than the social commentary it was meant to be. In the final battle, the characters viewers have grown to love and hate over five seasons are fighting for life and death in a gruesome and dark ending.
Hacks S05

Sun, April 12 2026
The award-winning comedy Hacks is going out with a bang as Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder return for one last ride as Deborah Vance and Ava Daniels, respectively. The bitingly funny series about Hollywood and the current state of comedy has been following the veteran stand-up comedian for the past four seasons and as it enters its last chapter, Hacks is ready to go down as one of the greats. Co-created by Lucia Aniello, Paul W Downs, and Jen Statsky, the HBO comedy closes itself out in a way that will make everyone satisfied.
Toh Ti Ani Fuji
Romance, Drama (Marathi)
In a world where love is filtered, scored and predicted, a couple in Pune, India, collides in a fierce, consuming romance. What begins in urgency and desire slowly fractures. Time intrudes. Ambition shifts. Affection turns conditional. What once felt infinite begins to bruise and break. Seven years later, beneath the shadow of Mount Fuji, they meet again. Japan is quieter. The air is thinner. They are no longer who they were. Carrying different lives, different scars, they stand face to face with a past that never truly left them. Can love survive its own history or does it merely haunt those who try to return to it? Toh, Ti Ani Fuji is an intimate, visually driven meditation on love, memory and the fragile, devastating hope of second chances.

जापान के फुजी पर्वत को नखरे वाला पर्वत माना जाता है। कभी यह मीलों दूर से भी दिख जाता है तो कभी पास से भी नज़र नहीं आता है। ज़्यादातर तो यह बादलों में ही छिपा रहता है और कभी अचानक से मन मोहने वाली अदाएं बिखेरने लगता है। हालांकि यह सवा तीन सौ साल पहले आखिरी बार फटा था लेकिन आज भी इसे एक जीवित ज्वालामुखी माना जाता है। इस फिल्म में फुजी का क्या किरदार है, यह आगे समझेंगे लेकिन पहले यह जान लीजिए कि सोनीलिव पर आई यह एक मराठी फिल्म है जिसका मूल नाम ‘तो ती आणि फुजी’ (Toh Ti Ani Fuji) (मैं वो और फुजी Main Woh Aur Fuji) है और यह मराठी के साथ-साथ हिन्दी में भी देखी जा सकती है।
Sat, April 11 2026
A couple in Pune loses their way in an intense but toxic romance that collapses under the weight of ego and ambition. Seven years after their breakup, they unexpectedly reunite in Japan. Against the backdrop of Mount Fuji, they must confront their painful past and the possible road ahead. The film predominantly revolves around the couple, and both the leads, Lalit Prabhakar and Mrinmayee Godbole, hold the fort with assurance. Lalit plays the more complex role with a better character graph; he’s efficient because you ultimately understand the man’s trauma and also despise him for his abusive behaviour towards his partner. Mrinmayee Godbole, as the woman bearing the brunt of mounting debts and an insensitive love interest, delivers an intense yet delicate portrayal that lingers long after the film ends. Omprakash Shinde is not left with much to do. The child artiste Kabir Jueelee Deven makes a mark with his happy-go-lucky presence.
Fri, April 10 2026
This Marathi language feature involves a pair of former lovers accidentally bumping into each other in Tokyo years after their painful parting. The meeting between Toh (He, Lalit Prabhakar) and Ti (She, Mrinmayee Godbole) causes facades to be peeled off, re-opening old wounds: can these two forgive each other, and is forgetting on the cards? Directed by Mohit Takalkar and written by Irawati Karnik, Toh Ti Ani Fuji is the kind of grown-up relationship drama which feels fresh, contemporary and urgent: as Toh and Ti are drawn to each other, trying to see how they fit in, we see just how complex the thing between two people can be, where ‘extreme hatred and extreme love’, as one of the two puts it, can appear to be the two sides of the same coin.
