Watch here Luc Besson's Dracula: The Bloodiest Love Story You've Ever Seen Forget everything you know about vampire films. The French director behind Léon and The Fifth Element is about to give us a Dracula that's equal parts terrifying and heartbreaking. Count Dracula has been done to death—literally. We've seen him as a caped villain, a monster, and a brooding romantic hero. But in 2026, French filmmaker Luc Besson is having a crack at Bram Stoker's classic, and by all accounts, it's going to be absolutely massive. This isn't your typical horror flick. Besson's making a full-blown gothic romance with fangs—think grand castles, forbidden love, and plenty of blood. Real Sets,  Real Atmosphere Besson's ditching the green screens and computer effects that have made modern vampire films feel a bit plastic. Instead, he's built actual crumbling castles across Europe to recreate 19th-century Transylvania in all its decaying glory. We're talking f...

Watch live Back to the Grime: Hit Crime Thriller Kohrra Returns to Netflix Today If you've been craving some gritty, down-to-earth crime drama, you're in for a treat. Netflix's acclaimed thriller Kohrra is back for a second series today, following the huge success of its 2023 debut. Known for its unflinching portrayal of police work and brilliant acting, the show has quickly become essential viewing for fans of realistic detective dramas. New Mystery, New Face Whilst the first series saw Barun Sobti working through a murky murder investigation in the heart of Punjab, Series 2 is changing things up. This time round, we're dealing with a completely new murder case in a different location altogether. The biggest talking point, though, is the cast. The hugely talented Mona Singh joins the show in a lead role, bringing fresh energy to the world created by Sudip Sharma, Gunjit Chopra, and Diggi Sisodia. When Can You Watch? There was a bit of confusion earlier today, as ma...

Watch movie here Cliff Booth is Back: Brad Pitt Returns in Shock Super Bowl Reveal The Super Bowl delivered one of its biggest surprises yet when Netflix dropped a bombshell trailer for "The Adventures of Cliff Booth." The high-stakes spin-off brings back Brad Pitt in his Oscar-winning role from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and frankly, nobody saw it coming. What makes this especially intriguing is the creative team behind it. Quentin Tarantino has written the script, but he's handed the director's chair to David Fincher. This reunites Fincher and Pitt for the first time in nearly twenty years, blending Tarantino's razor-sharp, period-perfect dialogue with Fincher's meticulous visual style. Set in 1977, the film follows Booth working as a Hollywood "fixer," getting stuck into the seedy underbelly and glitzy surface of late-seventies Los Angeles. The announcement was a proper masterstroke of marketing, catching even industry insiders completely...

Watch movie Twenty Years of "Basanti": Why the Film That Shook Up India Still Hits Hard Today Twenty Years of "Basanti": Why the Film That Shook Up India Still Hits Hard Today It's been a full twenty years since a bunch of loud, directionless uni students first thundered onto our screens in yellow Jeeps, and honestly, Indian cinema's not been quite the same since. This month marks two decades of Rang De Basanti , a film that didn't just smash it at the box office—it basically tore down the wall between watching movies and actually doing something about the state of the country. Twenty Years of "Basanti": Why the Film That Shook Up India Still Hits Hard Today To mark the occasion, the original crew— Aamir Khan , Siddharth, Soha Ali Khan, and the rest—recently got together in Mumbai. Seeing them all in matching anniversary hoodies was a proper blast from the past for anyone who was around in the mid-2000s. But beyond the celebrity get-together an...

Watch here Brahmastra Part 2 Breaks Records: India's Mythological Epic Goes Global The Indian film industry has hit a remarkable milestone this February with Brahmastra Part 2: Dev . In just ten days, Ayan Mukerji 's ambitious sequel has crossed the ₹500 crore mark worldwide, confirming that Bollywood's venture into large-scale mythological fantasy has become a genuine global success story. Where the first film established the foundations, Dev has been praised as a significant technical achievement. The sequel has tackled criticisms levelled at its predecessor, delivering a darker and more mature storyline alongside visual effects that genuinely compete with Hollywood's best. By centring the narrative on the enigmatic and formidable character of Dev, Mukerji has transformed the franchise from a straightforward romance into an expansive battle between light and darkness. Several factors have driven the film's extraordinary box office performance. The intense ...

Watch now War Machine : A Muddled Satire That Can't Find Its Footing Netflix's 2017 War Machine had promise— Brad Pitt , big budget, based on General Stanley McChrystal 's story—but struggles with identity. Is it sharp satire or serious war drama? It never quite decides. Pitt plays General Glen McMahon, an egotistical commander convinced he can "win" Afghanistan through counterinsurgency . His performance—buzzcut, scowl, bizarre gait—is initially amusing but tips into caricature, undermining the film's weightier moments. The tone whiplashes between political satire (reminiscent of * The Thick of It *) and genuine tragedy, creating jarring tonal clashes. Strong supporting work from Ben Kingsley and Tilda Swinton , plus poignant soldier moments, can't fully rescue the inconsistency. Worth watching for its take on modern warfare's absurdity and military hubris, but it's no masterpiece—just a slightly clunky, somewhat confusing examination of missi...
