**1. Pallichattambi (Malayalam | 2 hrs 30 mins | April 15)** The biggest release of the week. Starring Tovino Thomas in a powerful period role, this film is set in 1950s–60s Kerala and follows a ruffian hired by oppressed villagers to stand up to tyrannical forces. Part underdog story, part social resistance tale — Pallichattambi is the Vishu biggie that audiences have been waiting for.

**2. Oru Durooha Saahacharyathil (Malayalam | 2 hrs 15 mins | April 15)** Starring Kunchacko Boban and Dileesh Pothan, this comedy thriller follows a government health worker in remote Wayanad whose quiet, simple life is completely upended when an armed fugitive on the run demands shelter. A darkly comic premise that promises edge-of-seat entertainment.

**3. Bengaluru Inn (Kannada | 2 hrs 1 min | April 17)** A food delivery guy with Bollywood dreams lands smack in the middle of a murder investigation in this gripping suspense thriller. As police trace a criminal gang, he’s forced to fight to prove his innocence in a city that doesn’t care who you are.

**4. Kendada Seragu (Kannada | 1 hr 58 mins | April 17)** An IPS officer investigates a crime network and uncovers her mother’s tragic past of exploitation along the way. A powerful story about justice, cycles of abuse, and a daughter determined to break what her family couldn’t.

**5. Elra Kaaleliyatte Kaala (Kannada | April 17)** A charming, quirky comedy drama. A traveller stranded overnight in a remote village slowly realizes something is deeply off — clocks don’t work and time seems to have stopped. What begins as inconvenience turns into an surreal existential adventure.

**6. Bad Boy Karthik (Telugu | 2 hrs 22 mins | April 17)** Naga Shaurya plays the hot-headed, rule-breaking Karthik who finds himself in a violent standoff with local goons after they threaten his family. Expect high-octane action and punchy dialogues in this straightforward, entertaining mass entertainer.

**7. Kalagamanam (Telugu | 2 hrs 23 mins | April 17)** Set in a caste-divided village where education — especially for girls — is a luxury, two young people from different families fall deeply in love. A poignant, layered drama about sacrifice, loyalty, and the cost of loving across social divides.

**8. Therachaapa (Telugu | 2 hrs 31 mins | April 17)** After a devastating cyclone destroys a fishing community, displaced villagers fall under the control of drug dealers. A carefree young fisherman is forced to grow up after personal tragedy strikes and rises to lead the resistance against exploitation.

**9. Madhuvidhu (Malayalam | April 17)** A laugh-out-loud family comedy following Amrutharaj, a groom from an all-male household who can’t seem to get any bride’s family to say yes — until he meets Sneha Marcose and chaos ensues. Warm, funny, and full of heart.
