Verdict: 3/5 — A roaring first half powered by Rajinikanth’s screen presence, Nelson’s deadpan comedy and Anirudh’s score — followed by an overstuffed second half that tests even the faithful. A treat for fans, and still a box-office monster. Director Nelson Dilipkumar Producer Kalanithi Maran (Sun Pictures) Music Anirudh Ravichander Cast Rajinikanth, Vidya Balan, S. … Read more
The verdict Georgia Oakley’s Sense and Sensibility is a grounded, quietly moving take on Jane Austen’s beloved novel — less a glossy remake than a fresh adaptation that puts the Dashwood sisters’ bond at the center. Daisy Edgar-Jones is superb as Elinor, and the film’s earthy, naturalistic style will divide purists while winning over newcomers. … Read more

Verdict: 4/5 — The best performance of Dwayne Johnson’s career anchors a gritty, unglamorous sports drama that refuses every cliché of the genre. Benny Safdie directs with bruising intimacy, and Emily Blunt is superb. It’s too punishing and deliberate to be a crowd-pleaser — the box office proved that — but it’s a real film … Read more
Verdict: 4.5/5 — The rare blockbuster that earns its spectacle. Funny, heartbreaking, and genuinely awe-inspiring, Project Hail Mary is the best sci-fi film of 2026 and one of the great crowd-pleasers of the decade. A slightly overlong middle keeps it from perfection — but Rocky alone is worth the ticket. Directors Phil Lord & Christopher … Read more
