Which film are you most excited to watch in theaters?
Fahadh Faasil is currently the most versatile actor in India, and his lineup is insane. Idi Mazha Kaatu (Thunder, Rain, Wind) is an experimental survival thriller. Plot details are under wraps, but insiders hint at a single-location, real-time narrative where Fahadh’s character battles a natural disaster while trapped. Given Sajid Yahiya’s previous work ( June ), expect a very realistic, intense performance. Director: Jeethu Joseph Starring: Mohanlal, Trisha
The return of the "mass" director! Shaji Kailas, known for the iconic Commissioner and The King , is attempting a comeback with Hunt . Asif Ali is undergoing a physical transformation to play a rugged police officer. Expect high-voltage dialogues, slow-motion walks, and a heavy dose of 90s-style action, polished for modern sensibilities. Director: Sajid Yahiya Starring: Fahadh Faasil
