Movie Magic This Week: Adventures, Comedy Thrills & Classic Blockbusters Return
As the month picks up momentum, so does the cinema lineup – and this week, it’s all about variety. From an internationally loved bear returning to the big screen, to a spooky comedy with a desi twist, to sequels that build on iconic legacies, there’s something for everyone in theatres. Here’s a look at the exciting releases you can catch only in theatres this week:
1. Kesari Chapter 2 – The Saga Continues:
Starring R. Madhavan, Akshay Kumar, and Ananya Panday, Kesari 2 steps into the courtroom to revisit a defining moment in India’s legal and colonial history. A powerful historical legal drama, the film chronicles the landmark case of Sankaran Nair vs. The Crown — a bold courtroom battle that challenged the British narrative and exposed the Jallianwala Bagh massacre as cold-blooded genocide, not the suppression of rioters. Building on the legacy of its predecessor, Kesari 2 combines riveting performances, emotional depth, and historical grit to deliver a compelling story of truth, courage, and justice.
2. Sinners – A Twisted Tale of Secrets and Redemption:
Set against the haunting backdrop of the 1930s, Sinners is a vampire horror film that blends supernatural terror with psychological depth. Starring Michael B. Jordan in dual roles as estranged twin brothers, the story follows their return to a cursed hometown—only to confront an ancient evil lying in wait. Directed by Ryan Coogler, known for Creed and Black Panther, the film unpacks themes of guilt, family, and redemption through a dark, gritty narrative laced with slow-burn suspense. Sinners is both a chilling horror experience and a powerful character study.
3. Paddington in Peru – The Beloved Bear’s Newest Adventure:
Paddington is back – and this time, he’s heading home. Paddington in Peru takes the beloved bear from the bustling streets of London to the lush rainforests of South America on a quest filled with discovery, laughter and love. Heartwarming, beautifully animated and full of charm, it’s the perfect big-screen outing for families this week.
4. Vicky Donor – The Bold Comedy That Changed the Game:
The cult comedy that broke stereotypes returns to the big screen. Ayushmann Khurrana’s breakout film, Vicky Donor, remains as relevant and entertaining as ever. Smart, sensitive and effortlessly funny, it’s a great opportunity to revisit this modern classic in theatres.
5. Sachein (Tamil) – Vijay’s Charming College Romance Returns:
A beloved Thalapathy Vijay -starrer from the early 2000s, Sachein makes its way back to cinemas. A charming college romance with memorable music and feel-good vibes, it’s a nostalgic trip down memory lane for Tamil cinema fans and a must-watch for anyone discovering it for the first time.
