1. Nikita Roy and The Book of Darkness

Director: Kussh S. Sinha

Cast: Sonakshi Sinha, Arjun Rampal, Paresh Rawal, Suhail Nayyar

Marking the directorial debut of Kussh S. Sinha (son of the legendary Shatrughan Sinha), Nikita Roy and The Book of Darkness is a sophisticated psychological horror-thriller. The film follows Nikita Roy (Sonakshi Sinha), a rationalist who spends her time exposing fraudulent spiritual practices and fake “godmen.”

However, her world is turned upside down when her brother dies under mysterious circumstances. Her investigation leads her to a shadowy cult leader (Paresh Rawal) and into a world where logic fails. Shot primarily in the UK, the film’s atmospheric cinematography and the intense face-off between Sonakshi and Arjun Rampal make it a standout mystery. It explores the thin line between skepticism and the supernatural, making it a must-watch for fans of elevated horror.

2. Manjummel Boys

Director: Chidambaram

Genre: Survival Thriller / Drama

Based on a harrowing true story from 2006, Manjummel Boys is a cinematic masterpiece that celebrates the power of friendship. The plot follows a group of friends from a small town in Kerala who head to Kodaikanal for a vacation. Their trip turns into a nightmare when one of them falls into the “Devil’s Kitchen”—a deep, narrow pit in the Guna Caves from which no one has ever returned alive.

The film is not just about the rescue; it is about the emotional grit of the “boys” who refuse to leave their friend behind, even when the authorities give up. The visuals are spectacular, capturing both the beauty of the hills and the claustrophobic terror of the caves. It is a high-stakes survival drama that will leave you breathless.

3. Fateh

Director: Sonu Sood

Cast: Sonu Sood, Jacqueline Fernandez, Naseeruddin Shah

Sonu Sood makes his directorial debut with Fateh, an action-packed thriller that tackles the modern-day menace of cybercrime. Sood plays Fateh Singh, an ex-special ops officer living a quiet life in Punjab. When a young girl from his village becomes a victim of a massive digital fraud, Fateh is forced out of retirement.

Teaming up with an ethical hacker played by Jacqueline Fernandez, Fateh takes on a global syndicate led by a tech-savvy villain. The film is packed with high-octane stunts and “pulse-pounding” sequences that highlight the dangers of the digital world. With Naseeruddin Shah in a pivotal role, Fateh is a sleek, relevant, and fast-paced actioner.

4. Sarzameen

Director: Kayoze Irani

Cast: Prithviraj Sukumaran, Kajol, Ibrahim Ali Khan

Set against the scenic but volatile backdrop of Kashmir, Sarzameen is an emotional thriller that marks the much-awaited debut of Ibrahim Ali Khan. The story revolves around Colonel Vijay Menon (Prithviraj Sukumaran) and his wife Meher (Kajol), whose lives are shattered when their son Harman is kidnapped by terrorists.

Years later, a young man claiming to be Harman returns. While the mother is overjoyed, the soldier father remains suspicious. Is this truly their son, or a “sleeper cell” operative planted by the enemy? The film is a complex web of patriotism, parental love, and identity, featuring powerhouse performances and unexpected twists.

5. Jurassic World: Rebirth

Director: Gareth Edwards

Set five years after the events of Dominion, the film follows a covert operative, Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson), who is hired to lead a team into the most dangerous dinosaur-inhabited islands.

Their mission: to extract DNA from the three most colossal creatures left on Earth to create a life-saving drug. However, things go south when they encounter a civilian family stranded on the island. This “high-voltage” sci-fi thriller combines the wonder of the original films with the survival intensity of a war movie.

6. Diés Iraé

Director: Rahul Sadasivan

Cast: Pranav Mohanlal, Sushmitha Bhat

Diés Iraé (Latin for “Day of Wrath”) is a Malayalam mystery-horror that has taken the streaming world by storm. It stars Pranav Mohanlal as Rohan, a wealthy architect who finds himself haunted by paranormal entities after the suicide of his ex-girlfriend.

What starts as a classic ghost story quickly evolves into a mind-bending mystery. Rohan discovers that the spirit haunting him might not be who he thinks it is. The film is praised for its “neon-fueled” visuals and a soundscape that builds unbearable tension. If you enjoy movies with “unexpected twists and turns” that challenge your perception of reality, this is the one for you.

7. Ronth

Director: Shahil Kabir

Cast: Dileesh Pothan, Roshan Mathew

Ronth is a gritty, realistic police procedural that unfolds over the course of a single, chaotic night. The story follows two police officers—a cynical veteran (Dileesh Pothan) and an idealistic rookie (Roshan Mathew)——as they go on a night patrol on Christmas Eve.

What begins as a routine shift quickly spiraling into a series of life-threatening events that test their morality and survival instincts. It is a character-driven thriller that explores the “shadows of duty” and the human side of the men in uniform.
