Get ready for a classic Abbas-Mustan style thrill ride as Arjun Rampal gears up to headline their upcoming project titled 3 Monkeys. The makers officially pulled the curtain back on the film this Friday, releasing a gripping motion poster that pays homage to the legendary Three Wise Monkeys imagery before introducing the film’s own rebellious trio: Amar, Akbar, and Anthony.

The fresh cast features Vishal Jethwa, Mustafa Burmawala, and Tenzin Dalha stepping into these pivotal roles. While Vishal Jethwa takes on the mantle of Amar, Mustafa Burmawala plays Akbar, and Tenzin Dalha rounds out the group as Anthony. The directors have described their lead characters as embodiments of a bold philosophy: ‘Sab Dekho, Apni Suno, Bekhauf Bolo’—or see everything, listen to yourself, and speak fearlessly. According to the filmmaking duo, these characters are as unpredictable as they are mischievous, thriving in dangerous situations. True to the signature Abbas-Mustan style, the directors have already teased that in this film, viewers should expect that what they see on screen is rarely the whole truth.

Backed by producers Allarakha Vohra, Faruk Vohra, and Sayeed Vohra, with Anand Tiwari serving as the associate producer, the film is set to be presented by AJ Film Entertainment World. Fans of the thriller genre can mark their calendars, as 3 Monkeys is scheduled to hit cinema screens worldwide on December 4, 2026.

The film industry marked Gandhi Jayanti with a special treat for cinema lovers as the makers of ‘Gandhi and My Mother’ unveiled the first set of images from the highly anticipated project. These newly released stills provide an evocative glimpse into the film’s period setting, transporting viewers back in time with a carefully crafted visual aesthetic that promises a deep dive into historical storytelling.

Helmed by acclaimed director Sudhir Mishra, the film is a collaborative production between Narendra Hirawat’s NH Studioz and Anubhav Sinha’s Benaras Mediaworks. The project has already generated significant buzz for its star-studded ensemble, featuring powerhouses like Manoj Bajpayee, Waheeda Rehman, Divya Dutta, and Saurabh Shukla in pivotal roles. Their involvement suggests a high-stakes drama that balances artistic integrity with a compelling narrative.

Rather than focusing solely on the grand historical stature of Mahatma Gandhi, ‘Gandhi and My Mother’ aims to explore the deeply personal and human dimensions of his life and legacy. By blending a rich period backdrop with an intimate look at the legendary figure’s world, the film positions itself as a unique entry in the genre. As the production team pulls back the curtain on this visual world, fans can look forward to a cinematic experience that seeks to humanize one of history’s most recognizable icons through a fresh, sensitive lens.

The momentum is building for the Marathi cerebral psychological thriller Gondhal as it gears up for a major global stage. Following its selection as India’s official entry for the 99th Academy Awards in 2027, the makers have announced a series of special paid previews across select theatres in India starting October 10. Produced by Diksha Davakhar under the Davakhar Films banner, the film promises to offer audiences a deep dive into the complexities of the human mind while staying firmly rooted in local culture.

Director Santosh Davakhar revealed that the team is preparing for a rigorous few months ahead as they launch an intensive campaign to introduce the film to Academy members. With the goal of securing thousands of votes, the team views this journey as a massive responsibility rather than a simple competition. Davakhar noted that the project was a year in the making and was crafted with the intention of grabbing the attention of technicians and cinephiles across the entire Indian film industry, serving as a proud representation of the nation on the global map.

Starring Kishor Kadam, Ishita Deshmukh, Yogesh Sohoni, Nishad Bhoir, and Anuj Prabhu, the approximately two-hour film was chosen for the Oscars by the Film Federation of India. Davakhar shared his enthusiasm for the path ahead, emphasizing that the team always believed in the quality of their product. As the film prepares for its wider worldwide release, these upcoming previews offer the first real chance for local cinema lovers to catch the Oscar-bound thriller before it makes its bid for international glory.

Fans of Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan will have to wait a little longer to catch their upcoming film, Udta Teer, on the big screen. The makers have officially shifted the release date from October 9 to October 23. According to an official statement, the decision was made to secure a cleaner release window, allowing the film to enjoy a stronger theatrical run without being squeezed out in a suddenly crowded marketplace. The team noted that the move is a strategic call to maximize the film’s reach after receiving encouraging feedback from the trailer and ongoing promotional activities.

Ayushmann, who is known for his penchant for unconventional scripts, expressed his excitement about returning to his roots with this project. The actor shared that he plays a Pakistani spy who suffers from memory loss, leading to a hilarious yet patriotic predicament. Because he forgets his true identity, his character ends up supporting India, creating a unique, genre-defying comedy that the actor believes will resonate with family audiences. He emphasized that the film reflects the original and distinct storytelling that his fans have come to expect from him over the years.

Directed by debutant Akash A Kaushik, the film features a massive ensemble cast including Rahul Bose, Ram Kapoor, Suhail Nayyar, Gulshan Grover, Mukul Dev, Raghubir Yadav, Brijendra Kala, Sandeep Anand, Supriya Pilgaonkar, and Smita Tambe. The project is backed by a powerhouse production team featuring Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, Guneet Monga Kapoor, and Achin Jain. This film marks yet another high-profile collaboration between Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment, setting the stage for what promises to be a standout theatrical experience.

Johnny Depp is officially making his grand return to mainstream Hollywood, and he is doing it with a chilling twist. In the newly released trailer for Paramount’s supernatural revenge thriller Ebenezer, the actor undergoes a haunting transformation into a bitter, unrecognizable version of Charles Dickens’ iconic miser, Ebenezer Scrooge. Directed by horror visionary Ti West, the film reimagines the classic A Christmas Carol through a dark and gothic lens, trading holiday cheer for a descent into terror. The film, which is slated for a November 13 release, promises a unique experience with the tagline, “The name you know, the story you don’t.”

The footage wastes no time setting a grim tone as we see Depp’s Scrooge coldly rejecting charity and alienating his family before the supernatural chaos ensues. The horror kicks off when the spectral apparition of his late business partner, Jacob Marley—played by the legendary Ian McKellen—arrives to warn him of the three spirits destined to haunt his Christmas Eve. Despite the dark atmosphere, the trailer balances the dread with flashes of signature dark comedy. In one standout moment, a cynical Scrooge asks if he can just meet all three spirits at once to get the ordeal over with, while another scene shows him playfully throwing snowballs at a couple, proving that even a grumpy miser has a sense of humor.

Depp’s performance seems to anchor the film, starting with a meta nod to the audience as he looks directly into the camera and remarks, “It’s good to be back.” The journey tracks his transformation from a man buried alive—literally, in one disturbing sequence—to someone desperately embracing a new lease on life. The star-studded ensemble cast is equally impressive, featuring Andrea Riseborough as the Ghost of Christmas Past, Tramell Tillman as the Ghost of Christmas Present, and Rupert Grint as the beleaguered Bob Cratchit. Daisy Ridley, Sam Claflin, Charlie Murphy, Arthur Conti, and Ellie Bamber also join the roster in this screenplay adapted by Nathaniel Halpern.

This project marks a significant milestone for Depp, serving as his first major mainstream Hollywood role since 2018’s Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. Having focused on international productions and the period drama Jeanne du Barry in recent years, fans are eager to see the actor back on the big screen in a role that promises both intense drama and supernatural spectacle. With Ti West at the helm, Ebenezer is shaping up to be a must-watch cinematic event this November.
