Tom Cruise's Digger opened to just $8 million Tom Cruise's Digger opened to just $8 million against a massive budget. From mismatched marketing and a divisive twist to weak overseas numbers, here is a critic's breakdown of why the Iñárritu film bombed.
The Jailer 2 trailer is stylish and restrained, with a quiet, mysterious Rajinikanth, blink-and-miss cameos by Mohanlal and Shivarajkumar, a possible Hrithik Roshan glimpse, and Vidya Balan's best-in-trailer tea-or-coffee dialogue.
Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson's Verity is an average watch redeemed by a gripping climax with one genuine scare and an open ending. In India, the CBFC's cut to the Hathaway-Johnson intimate scene hurts the film.
Drishyam 3: The Conclusion is a superbly written and directed finale packed with twists. Ajay Devgn, Jaideep Ahlawat and Kamlesh Sawant shine, though one question about the skeletal remains is never asked.
Iñárritu's Digger opens brilliantly, and Tom Cruise, Riz Ahmed and John Goodman give awards-calibre performances. But the mid-film twist deflates the tension, like learning mid-match that a thrilling India-Pakistan clash is just an exhibition game.
Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia's The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest has an interesting premise but a messy screenplay, flat comedy and an average climax. Only the Chhath Puja song and Tamannaah's screen presence stand out.
Srikanth Odela's The Paradise is an unbearable, violence-soaked film with almost no plot. Nani gives it his all but can't save it, and Raghav Juyal is wasted. A waste of time and money.
Kunal Kemmu returns with 'Vibe', but the comedy fails to match the high bar set by 'Madgaon Express' in this lukewarm theatrical release.
Kiran Rao’s sleek segment starring Gurfateh Pirzada and Sana Thampi shines bright, saving Netflix’s otherwise sluggish and uneven 'Lust Stories 3'.
Meghna Gulzar’s *Daayra* tackles a disturbing real-life-inspired case but struggles to turn its weighty subject into compelling cinema. Despite strong performances from Pragati Mishra and others, the film is held back by sluggish pacing, static storytelling, underutilised actors and a disappointing climax.
