Film-by-Film Breakdown
1. Ananthan Kaadu (Malayalam | June 25)
The biggest buzz of the week. Set in the late 1980s and early 1990s, it follows four close-knit friends from a struggling neighbourhood bound by music and dreams of a better life. Arya in Malayalam, alongside Murali Gopy and Dev Mohan, makes this a must-watch for fans of character-driven period dramas. Think Manjummel Boys energy — friendships tested by time and circumstance. pinkvilla
2. Angikaaram (Tamil | June 26)
A sports underdog story with heart. It follows a talented athlete from an underprivileged background striving to overcome obstacles and pursue his dreams. Simple premise, but when executed with sincerity, these stories always land.
3. Panchamukhi (Kannada | June 26)
Part horror, part thriller, all atmosphere. Haunted by nightmares of abandoned houses and restless spirits, a young man is drawn to a forgotten village connected to his family’s past, uncovering secrets and long-buried memories. Kannada cinema has been killing it in the supernatural space lately, and this one looks primed to continue that trend.
4. Andharan (Tamil | June 26)
A moody mystery romance. Centred on Karthika, whose life is overshadowed by unexplained events, the film follows Chezhiyan as he uncovers secrets from her past in a journey filled with suspense. If you love the slow-burn mystery-romance genre, put this on your radar.
5. Garuda (Kannada | June 26)
An action thriller with a tech twist. Garuda follows Keshav, a brilliant young innovator working on a groundbreaking AI project, whose world turns upside down through a series of unexpected developments. AI meets action — topical and tense.
6. Con City (Tamil | June 26)
The comedy wildcard of the week and arguably the most entertaining premise. A struggling middle-class family’s lives take a chaotic turn when a receipt printer mysteriously begins producing Rs 500 currency notes after a lightning strike. Arjun Das and Anna Ben in a comedy thriller? Count us in.
7. Balaramana Dinagalu (Kannada | June 26)
A period drama with soul. It chronicles the journey of an ordinary young man from a remote village in Karnataka navigating life and ambition in 1980s Bengaluru. Vinod Prabhakar and Priya Anand give this one a strong lead pairing. pinkvilla
8. Uyir (Malayalam | June 26)
Roshan Mathew in a true-events inspired mystery. An officer posted in a Kerala-Karnataka border town tries to uncover the circumstances surrounding an unidentified woman, confronting personal challenges along the way. Quietly compelling, and Roshan Mathew rarely disappoints. pinkvilla
9. Heartin (Tamil | June 26)
The rom-com of the week, light and breezy. The film explores how fate places a couple in an unexpected situation when an ex-girlfriend enters the equation, leading to entertaining and heartwarming moments. Madonna Sebastian fans have been waiting for this one.
