Why is it not being Released in India, No delay notice or release confirmation either?!!

So Ik this is a basic detail but most of the Indian movies doesn't focus on these small things. See the reaction of these creature's ears. When Surpanakha was speaking the ears of these creatures were towards her but cut to the next frame when Lakshman put his sword in scabbard making that noise, the creature's ears turns to lakshman. It ensures that will we get to see a great blending of CG and environment unlike most of the CG heavy indian movie where creature doesn't even react to environment and other characters. What r ur thought this??

Please suggest me movie similar to-

Premalu

Please suggeste similar movies.

Please 🥺

I think Scam 1992, Sacred games and Family man would be on top 5. Please mention if I missed anything.

Nothing can be compared to BB honestly but we have made some great shows in last 10 years I believe.

I’ve been thinking about how different these three performances feel... Bhiku, Sardar, and Siras.. yet somehow the same actor makes all three completely believable. That’s the thing about Manoj Bajpayee: he doesn’t just play characters; he makes you forget you’re watching an actor.

Which Manoj Bajpayee performance made you realize, “Okay, this guy is on another level”?

How dare they make such an illogical movie !!!! I thought may be the movie is one time watch but no…..you can’t watch the movie without fast forwarding….Also why do you guys blow all the money on actions and glam? Why did you have to bring Hrithik so that the movie could be saved? Why can’t you focus on script?

If all the money is lying up there waste please donate it to the needy 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hey guys, I’ve stopped watching mainstream Indian movies for a while, and recently I’ve been watching some South Indian movies with my family. Something I started noticing is that almost every scene seems to have at least one English sentence thrown into the conversation.

I understand that nowadays a lot of Indians, especially in cities, naturally mix their native language with English. I do it too. But in my experience, it’s usually individual words or short phrases. I rarely hear people having entire English sentences in the middle of an otherwise native-language conversation unless they’re in a professional or very specific social setting.

So I’m genuinely curious about the psychology or filmmaking logic behind this.

I’ve also watched Japanese, Korean and some Hollywood movies, and I don’t notice the same amount of random foreign-language mixing in their dialogue. So I’m wondering:

Is it meant to portray wealthier or more educated characters?

Like, is speaking more English supposed to signal that someone is upper-class, urban, educated, etc.? I don’t have enough experience with wealthy social circles to know whether people actually talk like this.

Is it intentionally being used to portray different social classes?

Maybe the amount of English someone uses is supposed to tell us something about their background or status.

Is this actually a realistic reflection of how some Indians speak?

Maybe my experience is just limited and there are genuinely social groups where this kind of English–native language switching is normal.

Or is it partly an obsession with Western culture/status?

In other words, is English being used because it sounds more modern, sophisticated or aspirational?

Who is this actually targeting?

A lot of older people I know don’t understand these English sentences, so I’m curious whether filmmakers are primarily targeting younger/urban audiences with this kind of dialogue. Or is the assumption that most Indian audiences understand enough English for it not to matter?

I’m not taking a side here. I’m genuinely trying to understand what’s behind this from a linguistic, cultural and filmmaking perspective. Maybe there’s something about Indian society or different social groups that I’m simply not aware of.

Would love to hear what you guys think, especially from people who actually speak this way in their everyday lives.

Unnecessary sequels, Big Budget Movies with no content, Remakes and Copying Hollywood concepts...Hardly any good and soulful movies being released.

The Indian Audience can't be fooled anymore. Bollywood must understand that, Make a good movie, people will see it. Does not matter if it has any popular actors. And by the way, the time is long gone, when people used to Go and Watch films just after seeing their favourite Actor/Actress in it.

Re-watching this masterpiece 🍿

Made a post more than a month ago, about awarapan movie re releasing in theatres, that toh didnt come true, but now its available on prime video.
Was just surfing on amazon prime to find something to watch and this showed up on the top.
So anyone like me who wanted to watch part 1, can watch

So this movie recently released in USA . But i am not able to find this movie in India.

Bookmyshow doesnt have this movie even in the "upcoming" section.

Will this movie not come to India ?. I was pretty excited to see this in the theatres.

I have just read about the top grossing films of 2026, by language, and it really blew me away.

Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam industries seem to be able to develop their own stars, audience, production companies and theaters.

And then I thought...

India has Punjabi, Bengali, Marathi, Bhojpuri, Gujarati, Odia, Assamese and a few more gigantic language markets.

Why aren't there any of these language films that have as much success?

Is it the dominance of Bollywood? Smaller theater chains? Lack of money? Different preferences? Or is it just that the South created an environment for themselves?

What really fascinates me is that Tamil ≠ Telugu ≠ Kannada ≠ Malayalam. They didn't have to create the "South Indian" industry. Each made its own.

Why can't others do the same?

It would be fascinating to hear opinions from those who speak Punjabi, Bengali, Bhojpuri, Gujarati, Odia or Assamese... Do you ever go to theaters to see movies in your language? What holds your industry back?

I am genuinely interested. No intention to turn this into North-South rivalry...

This is something I've been thinking about obsessively for a while, and I'd genuinely like to hear what people here think.

I'm currently working as a digital marketer at a production house in Mumbai. I have a little experience with video editing as well, and I'm also an aspiring filmmaker. I write stories and I'm slowly learning how I want to direct them.

I've always watched a lot of international cinema. Actually, one of the first Hollywood films I remember watching that really fascinated me was Godzilla (1998). I still remember the researcher finding those massive footprints and thinking, "What the hell is this?" That feeling of discovering something impossible really stayed with me.

Since then, films and series like Interstellar, The Martian, Arrival, Blade Runner 2049, Oblivion, Children of Men, Godzilla Minus One, Dark, Stranger Things, From and many others have had a huge influence on the way I think about stories.

Some of the directors whose work I keep going back to are Denis Villeneuve, Akira Kurosawa, Joseph Kosinski, Christopher Nolan, Park Chan-wook and Satyajit Ray.

Not because I want to copy them. I'm much more interested in understanding why their decisions work, what principles are behind them, and then finding my own way of using those principles.

India has obviously tried science fiction and speculative cinema. We've had Koi... Mil Gaya, Ra.One, 2.0, 24, Cargo, Gaganachari, Kalki 2898 AD and others. Some worked, some didn't, and some became cult films.

But I still feel like we haven't really had that completely original Indian science fiction world that becomes a cultural phenomenon on its own terms.

And I don't mean Hollywood-level budget or VFX.

What interests me much more is the storytelling and the world itself.

One thing I've been thinking about is our relationship with mythology.

India has an enormous amount of ancient knowledge, stories and cosmological thinking. Ancient Indian traditions had serious astronomical observations and systems for understanding stars, planets, lunar positions, seasons and time. That's fascinating to me.

But at the same time, I sometimes wonder:

Why does an Indian speculative story so often need to connect itself to mythology that people already know?

Do we really need the Mahabharata, Ramayana or other familiar mythology every time we want to create something enormous, philosophical or futuristic?

What happens if an Indian filmmaker creates a completely new world, completely new characters and completely new ideas?

Can something be deeply Indian without directly using mythology?

That question has been stuck in my head for a long time.

I'm also very interested in visual storytelling and "show, don't tell". I want to understand how much of a world can be communicated through images, behaviour, environments, sound and consequences instead of explaining everything through dialogue.

Post-pandemic, it also feels like Indian audiences have changed a lot. People are watching cinema and series from everywhere now. Hollywood, Korea, Japan, Europe, anime, regional Indian cinema and everything in between.

So I'm curious about where Indian speculative cinema goes from here.

I'm not saying I have the answer. I'm honestly trying to understand the problem because very few things have excited me as much as this.

I've spent a lot of late nights thinking about stories and cinema lately. I have a few stories in my head that I genuinely want to tell someday. For the first time in my life, I feel like I actually want to bet on myself and see where this takes me.

I don't know how long it will take. Maybe a long time.

But one thing I'm pretty sure about is that someday, I want to make something of my own.

Something that comes from here, but doesn't have to look like anything we've already seen.

For now, I'm just trying to understand.

What do you think Indian science fiction is missing?

And do you think there is space for completely original Indian speculative worlds that don't depend on existing mythology, while still feeling authentically Indian?

I'd genuinely love to hear what you think.

For me it's Ra.One

I have doubts about Sunny Deol playing Lord Hanuman but still keeping my hopes up. For the amount of budget and time they are spending on making the movie, the whole arc has to be top notch. We will most likely see it in Part 2.

Hey guys, I just want to watch RRR movie but I don't have netflix subscription and on Z5 movie is only in south languages. I want to watch it in Hindi. II also don't want to watch it on YouTube as clarity is not good. Is there any solution?

Films like KGF, Pushpa, Animal, and Marco are all, in one way or another, inspired by Agneepath. They have certain elements and sentiments that were already present in Agneepath. For example, KGF and Pushpa have the whole journey of the main character going from poor to rich and powerful, along with the emotional bond with his mother, all of that was already there in Agneepath. The kind of violence we see in Animal and Marco was also present in Agneepath in a very similar way. And there are hundreds of other films that Agneepath has inspired in one way or another.
