K-Pop Demon Hunters Review: Netflix's Bingeable Animated Film Is Worth The Hype
New Delhi: There's something wildly entertaining about a film that doesn't try to downplay its own ridiculousness, a movie that knows exactly how absurd its premise is and leans in with style, humour and enough emotional weight to keep things steady. K-Pop Demon Hunters, Netflix's latest animated feature from Sony Pictures Animation, does just that. Set in a glittering, demon-shadowed version of South Korea, K-Pop Demon Hunters introduces us to Huntrix, a wildly popular K-pop girl group composed of Rumi, Mira and Zoey, who lead a double life. On stage, they're idols with chart-topping hits; offstage, they are the last in a lineage of demon slayers tasked with maintaining the Golden Honmoon, a magical barrier that keeps demonic forces sealed beneath the Earth. But just as Huntrix stands on the brink of sealing the barrier permanently, a new threat rises in the form of the Saja Boys, a newly formed demon boy band with devastating charm and a secret agenda to destroy Huntrix and resurrect their demonic overlord, Gwi-Ma. Leading the Saja Boys is Jinu, a half-human with a soft voice, sharp abs and more than one secret of his own. What follows is a fast-paced, music-fuelled showdown that's as much about inner conflict as it is about slaying purple-marked demons with glowing weapons. Rumi, the group's lead singer, is hiding something: she's part demon herself. Her growing connection with Jinu threatens to undo everything Huntrix has worked for, and the film makes room for that tension to simmer, without ever dragging the story down. At just under 90 minutes, K-Pop Demon Hunters keeps things moving, from slick action sequences and chaotic rehearsals to downtime filled with bingsu, bubble tea and snack-fuelled karaoke nights. The animation is a visual feast. Pulling from webtoons, manhwa and the kinetic style of Spider-Verse, the film layers bold colours, hyper-stylised frames, and comic-book-inspired transitions that feel both fresh and familiar. Every performance sequence feels like its own concert film, while fight scenes glide between dance choreography and anime-style flair. There's barely a dull frame. The humour lands, too. Whether it's Zoey's exaggerated reactions (eyes turning into corncobs at the sight of abs), dramatic spa-day montages, or sly jabs at K-drama tropes, the film doesn't take itself too seriously. But it's also not afraid to get sentimental. But underneath its humour is a sincere respect for the K-pop world it playfully skewers. From the hyper-detailed stage designs based on real Korean landmarks to subtle folklore references (including sidekicks modelled after traditional spirits), the film is a cultural celebration as much as it is an animated romp. The sisterhood between the three girls feels lived-in, and the pressure of holding it all together, the fame, the fandom, the demon-hunting, is never brushed aside. Even the villain, Gwi-Ma, voiced with menace by Lee Byung-hun, gets just the right amount of screen time to keep the stakes high without overshadowing the core trio. Then there's the music, probably the strongest element after the visuals. With original tracks performed by EJAE, Audrey Nuna, Rei Ami, and even TWICE covering Takedown in the end credits, the soundtrack is super catchy. Songs like Golden, How It's Done and Free do more than fill space between dialogue; they push the story forward, heighten the action, and stay in your head long after the credits roll. It's no surprise the fictional bands from the film actually charted; this is a soundtrack with real legs. Maggie Kang's directorial debut doesn't just tick boxes, it redefines them. As a Korean-American filmmaker, she brings a lived-in understanding of K-pop's duality: the glittering, commercial surface and the rigorous, identity-shaping struggle underneath. This results in a narrative that isn't merely about spectacle or romance (though both are present), but about belonging, vulnerability and self-acceptance. And while K-Pop Demon Hunters doesn't exactly break new ground in terms of story, it's smart enough to know that it doesn't have to. It finds strength in the details: Rumi taking off her stage makeup and slipping into oversized sweats to write music alone, Zoey's goofy confidence masking deeper anxieties, the way each member of the Saja Boys is clearly modelled after familiar K-pop archetypes. Even the tiger demon and the magpie sidekick (likely added for toy potential) are hard not to love. 2025 unquestionably belongs to K-Pop Demon Hunters. It's not flawless, the backstories could've used more depth, and some beats feel rushed, but it's fun, sharp, and far better than it has any right to be. Huntrix might sing, dance, and slay, but the real magic is that they pull all three off without missing a beat.

Travis Kelce's Eccentric ‘Happy Gilmore 2' Instincts Went Viral As Veteran Producer Spills the Beans
Travis Kelce in Happy Gilmore 2: Image via X Travis Kelce has just proved that he's as good an actor as he is a TE on the field. The 35-year-old's unique cameo shot in Happy Gilmore 2 made the top-notch superstars a little insecure about their careers. The Sandman, Adam Sandler , didn't hold back while praising the athlete's incredible screen presence. Adam told reporters that the way Travis managed to take those risky bear attacks with spontaneity looked nothing less than a veteran superstar's resilience. The Chiefs' poster boy was fun, chilled, and super poised about his tasks. Ever wondered where he gets that happy-go-lucky spirit from? Well, that's what a beauty sleep during the shooting intervals does to you. Travis Kelce's wacky habits made him stand out among the Happy Gilmore 2 cast Travis joined a long list of renowned faces in the industry, including Bad Bunny , Scottie Scheffler, and Eminem. But he is perhaps the weirdest in the set, doing his work without going by any code or rules. Chadd Mumm, a co-producer on the movie and Full Swing executive, revealed that the NFL superstar recharged himself from time to time, taking short power naps. 'The only thing he had in his trailer was this massive, like Eight Sleep bed, and he would literally go take a nap after filming,'' Mumm said of Kelce during his conversation with Bachelor Nation alum Wells Adams. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn More - How Watching Videos Can Boost Your Income TheDaddest Undo 'He'd film a scene and then everyone would go to lunch,' the veteran producer added. 'And instead of lunch, he would just take an hour-long nap, and then he would go, come back, film again. Then go back to sleep.' But when he woke up, he used to quickly switch to his full spirit. Travis Kelce turned the Happy Gilmore 2 set into a high school common room with hilarious botches Travis was hilariously off-the-cuff in his shirtless scene where Bad Bunny (Oscar Mejías) launched a revenge on his former boss, smearing honey all over his chest before leaving him bare for a wild bear attack. Seeing him perform it to perfection, Adam reminisced about his shirtless high school buddies. When the actor wrapped in the bear's costume came out of nowhere amidst the scene, it caught Kelce off guard and sparked a laughing spree on the set. All the fun and banter made the process as effortless as breathing in the fresh air. 'Travis is such a gentle, nice guy, and funny as hell,' Sandler told Entertainment Tonight. 'He's like the guys I grew up with. When I was with Travis, it reminded me of my buddies in high school and just being able to laugh and say the things you want to say.'' You might see the occasional actor get back on the screen again anytime soon, given how fans root for it, but before that, he has more to give to the NFL field in the Chiefs' jersey. The pre-season practice is on, and Travis is already on a roll to start on a high note.
