With performances from Pallavi Joshi and debutante Shubhangi Dutt, this one is an emotional rollercoaster that should not be missed. Saiyaara Ahaan Panday makes his debut in this tender romantic drama that explores love in the face of fading memory. He plays Krish Kapoor, a struggling musician who finds creative and emotional refuge in the poetry of Vaani Batra, a young writer portrayed by Aneet Padda. But their journey takes a heart-wrenching turn when Vaani is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's. The film promises both tears and warmth with music and storytelling that feel close to the heart. Fantastic Four Marvel's Fantastic Four marks the superhero team's official debut in the MCU.

Metro… In Dino Anurag Basu returns to the world of urban relationships with Metro… In Dino, a spiritual successor to his acclaimed Life… In A Metro. The film captures love, confusion and heartbreak as experienced in fast-paced metro cities. Boasting a rich ensemble cast that includes Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Ali Fazal, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Neena Gupta and Fatima Sana Shaikh, it uses a fresh soundtrack by Pritam to thread the stories together. Maalik Starring Rajkummar Rao in a powerful lead role, Maalik is a socio-political Hindi film that dives deep into the intersections of land, power, and justice in rural India. With its gritty narrative and emotionally layered storytelling, the film paints a haunting yet honest portrait of life on the margins. While it may not be a mainstream blockbuster, its impact lies in its realism and bold storytelling. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
