I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER
They thought the past was buried. But some secrets don’t stay dead. With original stars Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. returning, a new generation gets pulled into a nightmare that never really ended. A fresh chapter in horror with shadowy corners, flickering lights, and the unease of something (or someone) lurking close. Director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson heightens the suspense while keeping the franchise’s legacy intact. It’s moody, violent, and atmospheric in all the right ways. The tension builds with every scene, keeping you guessing till the final breath. If you’re a fan of high-stakes horror with a nostalgic twist, this one’s a must-watch. And in 4DX, even your heartbeat won’t be safe.
SMURFS
Rihanna lends her voice to Smurfette in this vibrant new musical chapter that brings the tiny blue heroes into a big-screen world full of rhythm, colour, and heart. When Papa Smurf is kidnapped, Smurfette leads a daring rescue mission through magical terrain, finding herself along the way. With infectious songs, laugh-out-loud moments, and a message about courage and community, this film is a joyful ride for all ages. It’s a visual treat that brings Smurf Village to life like never before. PVR’s immersive formats enhance every glittery spell and cartoon bounce, making it a visually spectacular family outing. It’s pure, blue-hearted joy.
SAIYAARA
Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara is rooted in longing, silence, and song. Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda make their debut as lovers separated by distance, time, and the weight of what was left unsaid. Set against a moody backdrop of city lights and missed chances, the film traces their individual journeys to healing, and the memories that refuse to fade. With a soundtrack that aches in all the right places and visuals that stir something deep, this one’s for the romantics. Suri crafts a world where heartbreak echoes in every change, and the smallest gestures carry the loudest meaning. For those who’ve loved deeply and lost louder, this story will stay long after the credits roll.
TANVI THE GREAT
A daughter’s promise. A father’s dream. Tanvi the Great follows a neurodivergent girl’s extraordinary journey to the Siachen Glacier to honour her Army father’s legacy. Directed by Anupam Kher, the film balances emotional intimacy with breathtaking scale, capturing both the struggle and serenity of her mission. With moving performances from Shubhangi Dutt, Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, and Jackie Shroff, the film explores identity, resilience, and inner strength. It’s as much about the journey within as it is about the climb itself. With sweeping cinematography and a moving musical background, the film leaves you both uplifted and awed.
SARBALA JI
A wedding, a rivalry, and a whole lot of confusion, Sarbala Ji brings together Sargun Mehta, Gippy Grewal and Ammy Virk in a Punjabi comedy full of chaos and heart. When two families collide in the lead-up to a wedding, friendships are tested, alliances form, and love gets tangled in tradition. With lively songs, one-liners, and the charm of Punjab woven into every scene, this is a crowd-pleaser that’s best enjoyed with friends and family. It’s a full-on celebration of culture, community, and good old-fashioned family drama, with plenty of laughs along the way. The kind of film where dhol meets heartbeats.
YE RE YE RE PAISA 3
The madness is back, and louder than ever! Ye Re Ye Re Paisa 3 brings back the fan-favourite squad of hustlers for another round of mistaken bags, wild disguises, and plans that spiral hilariously out of control. Sanjay Narvekar, Siddharth Jadhav, Umesh Kamat, and Tejaswini Pandit bring energy and chaos to this new adventure, where nothing goes as planned and every laugh lands harder with a theatre full of people. Director Sanjay Jadhav keeps things fast, fun, and predictable, just the way this wild ride needs to be. A perfect pick-me-up for the weekend that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and doesn’t need to.
JUNIOR
Some questions about your past change your future. Junior is an epic drama that follows a young man uncovering his father’s untold story. What starts as a search becomes a journey through memories, lost letters, and lives never lived. With Genelia Deshmukh and Sreeleela anchoring the emotional arc, and visuals by KK Senthil Kumar adding grandeur, the film merges nostalgia with discovery. The past and present blur as the protagonist pieces together not just the father’s identity, but his own. Following themes of family, forgiveness, and fate, it’s a reflective, resonant tale made for cinemas.
JANAKI V/S STATE OF KERALA
Janaki v/s State of Kerala is a gripping legal drama that puts one woman’s fight for justice at the centre of the frame. Anupama Parameswaran delivers a performance layered with restraint and emotional power, while Suresh Gopi stands tall as the lawyer whose presence commands every scene. Director Pravin Narayanan crafts a world where power is unchecked, empathy is rare, and the truth is a battleground. The courtroom sequences unfold with the tension of a thriller and the weight of lived reality. This isn’t just Janaki’s story, it’s a voice for those who’ve been silenced too long. Unflinching, powerful, and made for the big screen.
NINTAMA RANTARO: INVINCIBLE MASTER OF THE DOKUTAKE NINJA
The ninjas of our childhood are back, and they’re in for their biggest test yet. When their beloved teacher goes missing after a mysterious duel, Rantaro and his friends must step up, face a clever new rival, and bring him home. What follows is a whirlwind of tricks, traps, and laugh-out-loud moments, all rooted in a story about courage, friendship, and never backing down. With its classic hand-drawn charm and fast-paced fun, this Japanese anime adventure is a treat for fans old and new. Shown in original Japanese with English subtitles, it’s a rare big-screen release that stays true to its spirit while delivering pure joy. For families, fans, and anyone who grew up on ninja dreams, this one’s not to be missed.
BHAAG MILKHA BHAAG (RE-RELEASE)
Some stories never slow down. Farhan Akhtar’s unforgettable portrayal of Milkha Singh returns to the big screen, reminding us of what it means to rise, run, and rise again. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s biopic still impresses with its scale and soul, tracing Milkha’s journey from Partition’s horrors to Olympic greatness. With songs that stay with you, scenes that still push you to the edge of your seat, and a spirit that hasn’t aged, this re-release is a cinematic celebration of courage. The emotions still hit like the first time. Witness it again, this time, with the collective cheer of the audience around you.
NIKITA ROY
Some darkness doesn’t stay buried. Nikita Roy pulls you into a world where faith, fear, and the unexplained collide. Sonakshi Sinha leads the charge in this gripping psychological thriller, playing a woman caught in the web of a spiritual healer whose power runs deeper than belief. Directed by Kussh S Sinha, with Paresh Rawal and Arjun Rampal adding gravitas, the film keeps you guessing till the very end. Secrets unfold, tension builds, and reality blurs into something far more sinister. It’s a chilling dive into the unknown—one that lingers long after the credits roll.
