Cast: Bhumika Chawla, Sara Arjun, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Nassar Director: Gunasekhar | Runtime: 2 hrs 30 min

This is the one generating the most conversation. Directed by Gunasekhar, Euphoria follows Vindhya Vemulapalli, the principal of a prestigious city college, who shockingly files a case against herself in the High Court. The story unravels her complex relationship with a young woman named Chaitra, exploring the relentless price of ambition, parenting, and justice. With Bhumika Chawla and Sara Arjun at the helm, the performances are expected to be the heart of this emotionally charged social drama.

2. Vadam (SunNXT — April 3)

A Tamil film with a warm beating heart — Vadam tells the story of a man and his extraordinary bond with his bull, set against the backdrop of complex family dynamics. If rural Tamil drama with comedy sprinkled in is your thing, this one is worth a look.

3. Mrithyunjay (Netflix — April 3)

Cast: Sree Vishnu, Reba Monica John, Sudharshan Director: Sri Hussain Sha Kiran | Runtime: 2 hrs 2 min

The pick of the week for thriller fans.

What starts as a routine story escalates into a confrontation with a truly formidable force. Sree Vishnu brings his reliable intensity to this tightly wound investigative thriller. Available on Netflix, so the audience reach is massive.

Say that title three times fast! This crime-comedy follows Sriram, a sincere Panchayat Secretary whose life spirals into chaos when his eccentric wife and son accidentally cause a local police officer’s death. The fallout is the film — and with a comic ensemble including Vennela Kishore and Dhanraj, expect the chaos to be very entertaining.

5. Velleppam (SunNXT — April 3)

Cast: Akshay Radakrishnan, Noorin Shereef, Shine Tom Chacko, Sreejith Ravi Director: Praveen Raj Pookkadan | Runtime: 2 hrs 7 min

A Malayalam romantic drama about Josemon — a man who has spent his life dodging responsibility while his sister sacrifices hers. His world flips when Kaleena, an artist, enters the picture and forces him to find something worth living for. With a local politician watching from the shadows, the film blends gentle romance with quiet tension beautifully.
