Loveyapa
Loveyapa is a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy that explores the chaos of modern relationships when technology becomes both a bridge and a barrier. It is a whirlwind of laughter and unexpected truths as a couple is forced to switch phones for 24 hours before tying the knot. Thanks to the bride’s sceptical father, something that starts as an innocent challenge quickly unravels into a day filled with chaos, comedy, and revelations. When long-held secrets come to light, the film hilariously questions the extent of our understanding of those we love.
Directed by Advait Chandan, the film is an adaptation of the Tamil sleeper hit Love Today (2022). It marks the big-screen debut of Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor. They’re joined by the always-entertaining Ashutosh Rana and Kiku Sharda, adding to the film’s charm with their comedic timing. While full of laughs, the story quietly examines how mobile phones shape relationships today and the significance of building trust.
Loveyapa is the ideal mix of comedy, heartfelt moments, and everyday experiences, making it the ultimate pick for a date night. Watch it on the big screen this week and take home some laughs and life lessons!
Badass Ravikumar
Badass Ravikumar is a loud, unapologetic love letter to classic Bollywood action-masala, turning everything up a notch—from the larger-than-life heroes to villains dripping with flair. Directed by Keith Gomes, this action-musical spin-off takes Himesh Reshammiya’s character, Ravi Kumar, from the 2014 The Xposé, and gives him a brand-new spin that’s bigger, bolder, and packed with attitude.
This time, Ravi Kumar is up against not one, but ten over-the-top villains, each bringing their brand of chaos. The film delivers pure Bollywood spectacle—from heists in ultra-secure vaults to cars soaring through the air in slow-motion shootouts. Reshammiya is in full form as the punchline-spitting, unlit cigarette-dangling hero, balancing action and comedy with ease. The film combines its retro 80s charm with clever, self-aware humour, becoming a social media hit. By tapping into the memes and iconic moments from Reshammiya’s previous films, Badass Ravikumar transforms nostalgia into a fun, must-watch experience.
Prabhu Deva stars as Carlos Pedro Panther, a quirky and dangerous villain. Kirti Kulhari plays Laila, a mix of charm and strength, while Sanjay Mishra, Johny Lever, Sunny Leone, and others add plenty of twists to the story.
With music and background score composed by Reshammiya, Badass Ravikumar is as much a musical spectacle as it is an action-packed adventure. The film blends nostalgia with eccentric characters and lively music to create a wild Bollywood adventure, not to be missed on the big screen this week!
Conclave
A masterfully crafted political thriller, Conclave takes you behind the iron curtain of the Vatican, revealing the drama and power struggles hidden within one of the world’s oldest institutions. Set within the highly secretive papal conclave, where cardinals convene to elect the next Pope, the plot uncovers a maze of covert alliances, deception, and intrigue capable of shaking the Catholic Church to its core. Directed by Edward Berger and based on Robert Harris’s celebrated 2016 novel, the film showcases Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, and John Lithgow in roles brimming with tension and depth.
The film follows Cardinal Lawrence (Fiennes), whose role in managing the election quickly becomes a perilous battle of loyalty and faith as hidden secrets and political ambitions surface. With its precise depiction of the centuries-old conclave’s rituals and customs, the film has won plaudits for its authenticity. This realism is seamlessly paired with edge-of-your-seat suspense, creating a narrative where trust is scarce and the stakes are immense.
Celebrated by critics and recognised with 8 Academy Award nominations, Conclave engages audiences through its rich themes and expertly paced storytelling. With a sense of looming danger and power struggles reminiscent of classic political dramas, the film is a tense exploration of the line between devotion and ambition, a kind of film that demands the immersive experience of the big screen. Don’t miss Conclave in theatres this week—it’s a cinematic event that lingers well beyond the final scene.
Thandel
Thandel is a gripping Telugu action drama inspired by the true 2018 story of fishermen from Andhra Pradesh imprisoned in Pakistan after unintentionally crossing into international waters. Directed by Chandoo Mondeti, known for his blockbuster Karthikeya 2, the film follows a fisherman’s fight for survival as he navigates captivity, personal loss, and the desire to return home.
Naga Chaitanya takes on a commanding role as a fisherman battling external pressures and inner conflicts, while Sai Pallavi showcases her signature emotional depth. Pallavi reunites with Chaitanya after Love Story (2021); their chemistry breathes energy into a story built on love, sacrifice, and the pursuit of freedom. The film also brings Chaitanya back with director Mondeti, who previously directed him in Savyasachi (2018). The film’s patriotic essence comes to life through Devi Sri Prasad’s stirring soundtrack, intensifying key moments.
Packed with action and emotion, Thandel is a thrilling ride that reflects the bravery and perseverance of everyday heroes overcoming incredible challenges. This is a movie crafted for theatres, where its action, drama, and heart hit their peak.
Vidaamuyarchi
In Vidaamuyarchi, Ajith Kumar stars as Arjun, a man on a relentless quest to find his wife, Kayal, who goes missing under suspicious circumstances. In this fast-paced road thriller, set against the rugged backdrop of Azerbaijan, the film keeps audiences on the edge as Arjun encounters constant threats and an unseen enemy determined to stop him.
Directed by Magizh Thirumeni, known for crafting nail-biting thrillers like Thadam and Thadaiyara Thaakka, the film borrows loosely from the Hollywood classic Breakdown while delivering a fresh, adrenaline-fuelled experience. After a two-year hiatus, Ajith Kumar is back with a commanding performance, blending vulnerability and action. His character’s shift from a panicked spouse to a man with unstoppable resolve adds to the gripping narrative. Plus, Trisha Krishnan, Arjun Sarja, Regina Cassandra, and Arav round out the ensemble cast.
The film’s action hits its peak with thrilling chases through Azerbaijan’s open roads, boosted by Anirudh Ravichander’s energetic soundtrack. Ajith’s fanbase is on fire, thanks to both his commanding on-screen performance and his off-screen motorsports success, which has taken social media by storm.
Packed with suspenseful turns, heartfelt moments, and intense action, Vidaamuyarchi is a thriller made for the big screen. Don’t miss the excitement of Ajith Kumar’s grand return to cinema in theatres.

The story follows a mission to find a habitable planet as Earth faces environmental collapse, with the emotional core centred on the bond between Cooper and his daughter, grounded in themes of survival and sacrifice.
Nolan designed the film specifically for formats like IMAX and 70mm, with key sequences shot using IMAX cameras to immerse audiences in its breathtaking visuals fully.
