Maamla Legal Hai S02
Comedy, Drama (Hindi)
Chaos collides with the letter of the law at District Court Patparganj, where quirky employees work to uphold justice — but not without a few objections.

Delhi’s Patparganj District Court is back in session, and this time the madness has escalated into full-blown judicial chaos. If the first season of Maamla Legal Hai proved that Indian district courtrooms can be funnier than a stand-up special, the second season takes the gavel and runs with it, balancing sharp social commentary with genuine rib-tickling comedy with a layer of introspection in between.
Sat, April 4 2026
Courts, we presume, are dreary places of extreme decorum and discipline. Yet they can provide much fodder for merriment, as has been shown in umpteen films and most delectably in the Ravi Kishan-starrer web series ‘Maamla Legal Hai’. As it rolls on to the second season, the idea is still the same: to reflect upon thorny legal battles — actually, social issues — with humour. If you believe first time is the real charm, to begin with, the second outing of ‘Maamla Legal Hai’ may not seem as much fun. But soon enough, it finds its feet, just as the main protagonist Visheshwar D Tyagi (Ravi Kishan) does in his newly elevated position of Principle Judge of Patparganj district court.

कोर्ट-कचहरी की दुनिया के अजब-गजब केस, काले कोट वाले वकील, उनके साम, दाम, दंड, भेद वाले दांव-पेंच, और ढेर सारा ड्रामा। साल 2024 में वेब सीरीज ‘मामला लीगल है’ ने इन सारे तत्वों को एकसाथ पिरोकर दर्शकों का खूब दिल जीता था। इसलिए, पटपड़गंज सेशन कोर्ट और उसके अतरंगी किरदारों की ये कहानी अपने दूसरे सीजन में बढ़ चली है। चूंकि, इस बार कहानी के मुख्य किरदार विशेश्वर दयाल उर्फ वीडी त्यागी (रवि किशन) वकील का काला कोट उतारकर, कोर्ट के प्रमुख जिला जज की कुर्सी पर विराजमान हो चुके हैं, तो सीरीज भी जज साहब की जिम्मेदारियों, चुनौतियों और दुविधाओं पर ज्यादा फोकस करती है। इस कारण वकीलों की जद्दोजहद और कोर्ट रूम में गरमागरम जिरह वाला पहलू इस बार थोड़ा कमजोर रह गया है।
Leader
Action, Drama (Tamil)
An ordinary man becomes trapped between warring criminal factions and law enforcement, forcing him to use his wits to survive while shielding his loved ones from the deadly crossfire that threatens to consume them all.

Vanity. A few years back, business magnate Saravanan decided to be the face of his multi-million-dollar empire. He was plastered across TV ads, in newspapers, and on YouTube. The next ideal step was to take up the political route or don the greasepaint. Saravanan decided to become an actor. And then… he rechristened himself as Legend Saravanan, and made his acting debut with… wait for it… Legend. It was heavily trolled for its content, his performance, and everything else in between. Four years later, Legend Saravanan has come back to collect his dues with Leader, under the aegis of director RS Durai Senthilkumar. He embarks on a path to redemption courtesy a clever director, a compelling script, a convincing ensemble, carefree masala-cinema sensibilities, and, of course, good ol’ money.
Fri, April 3 2026
Of all the years of film-viewing, I never imagined I’d require visual descriptions (VD) to understand what an actor is trying to convey. RS Senthilkumar’s Leader, starring ‘Legend’ Saravanan, is best watched when the bottom half of your screen presents you with descriptions that tell you things as obvious as “he notices car”, “opens the door”, “closes the door”, “looks emotionally” and many more. One can argue that these were added for the benefit of those with hearing impairments to underscore imagery, but when the lead actor is Legend Saravanan, these descriptions become a crutch to help you understand the hidden meanings behind his expressions.
Neelira
Drama (Tamil)
A wedding eve in 1988 Sri Lanka turns into a hostage standoff when Indian Army soldiers occupy a family's home overnight.

Neelira takes place over one night. There is a note at the end of the film, text on screen, that transcribes the long, arduous journey, from Sri Lanka to Europe, that now lies ahead for one of the characters—Vasuki. That text, pregnant with odyssey, suddenly made the film come alive for a brief second. Then, the film ends. Set in 1988, in Northern Srilanka, Neelira, the first Tamil feature directed by a Sri Lankan Tamilian, begins with the preparation for Vasuki’s wedding—including the logistics of getting permission from the Indian Peace Keeping Force (IPKF) and the Sri Lankan army, though we don’t see a scene with the latter. Have they ceded control to the IPFK in this narrative?
Fri, April 3 2026
There is a scene in director Someetharan’s Neelira where a group of children is playing outdoors in the midst of the Sri Lankan civil war in 1988. One of them blurts," What’s a game without guns?," as they indulge in a shooting game. It takes only one scene to put everything into context. These are children who should be playing hopscotch or hide-and-seek. Instead, they are thinking about shooting each other.

There are times when a filmmaker chooses to not reinvent the wheel or the story, to be precise. But a new setting lets it breathe. The broad contours of the storyline, sub plots and character arcs in director Abhilash Reddy’s Telugu sports drama, Biker are familiar. Motocross, a sport that has rarely or perhaps never been explored in Indian cinema, gives it a new sheen. The cutting-edge audio-visual landscape and worthwhile performances make it fairly engaging.
Maa Ka Sum
Comedy (Hindi)
Agastya, a math prodigy, believes every problem has a formula - even love. When he sets out to find the perfect match for his mother, his algorithm-fueled adventure spirals into a hilarious tangle of bad dates, big feelings, and one unexpected discovery: sometimes love can't be calculated, only felt.

Maths nerd Agastya aka Gast (Mihir Ahuja) has his heart set upon seeing his single mom Vinita aka Vinnie (Mona Singh) ‘settled’, so he’s in search of that perfect algorithm that will lead to a perfect match. In all the adding and subtracting, he forgets that humans are still the sum of their gloriously imperfect parts. No artificial intelligence can crack ‘em. At least not yet, fingers tightly crossed.

We’ve seen Shah Rukh Khan’s pre-teen daughter gatecrash a wedding to get her dad remarried in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Akshaye Khanna endeavour to reunite his widowed father to his childhood sweetheart in Mere Baap Pehle Aap and Ayushmann Khurana embrace the idea of his mom’s need for companionship in Doctor G. Maa Ka Sum draws out on similar single-parent child psychology in the story of a teen mathematics genius using his skills to create a perfect match for his lonesome mom. Except there’s a dark side to his purpose. He doesn’t just wish to see his mother happy with somebody but also make that choice for her.
Fri, April 3 2026
Maa Ka Sum sets out to explore love through logic. Directed by Nicholas Kharkongor and written by Ravinder Randhawa and Sumrit Shahi, the Prime Video series is about a 19-year-old mathematics prodigy trying to “solve” relationships and matchmaking through equations and algorithms. Agastya (Mihir Ahuja) is on a mission to find the perfect partner for his single mother Vinita (Mona Singh). Their relationship is framed as unusually close, almost idealised, but quickly reveals a troubling co-dependence. Boundaries are virtually non-existent, with Agastya assuming the role of decision-maker in his mother’s romantic life, prioritising data and outcomes over her autonomy and feelings.

Bait
Comedy (English)
Shah Latif is a struggling actor on the cusp of landing the role of a lifetime, only to find himself thrust into a full blown existential crisis and trippy conspiracy thriller all at the same time.
Cast:
Riz Ahmed
Fri, April 3 2026
A brown Bond may not be on the British bingo card… Until Riz Ahmed challenges the status quo as a struggling British-Pakistani actor auditioning for 007, following Daniel Craig’s departure in Bait’s six episodes of marvelously meta, humorous and unabashedly topical commentary. There are no shortage of actors vying for the role of the ‘white neo-colonial MI6 agent’, including Idris Elba and Regé-Jean Page.
Wed, April 1 2026
In a way, it’s brilliant that actor Riz Ahmed delves into one of Hollywood’s (and Britain’s) most pressing cultural voids – Who will be the next James Bond? – and inserts himself into it. In Bait, a six-episode miniseries, Ahmed plays an emerging Pakistani-British actor having an existential moment when he’s announced as a contender to be the next 007. In a series that is part wish-fulfilment, part introspection, part satire and part surreal coming-of-age tale, Ahmed meditates on his place in Hollywood, in modern British society and if his immigrant trauma will even lends itself to playing the poised, suave, and, till now, white, neo-colonial MI6 agent.

Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen
Drama, Mystery (English)
A bride has a feeling that something horrifying will happen at her wedding — and the closer to the altar she gets, the worse it becomes.
Cast:

Thu, April 2 2026
For all those (and by that I mean almost everyone) who, at some point, has felt that marriage is a death sentence, the experience is quite literal in the ominously named Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen. Events that fall in the very, very bad category — and that is putting it mildly — do take place in this fresh-off-the-block Netflix series, all of which has to do with its protagonist’s decision to marry her “soulmate”.
Dhurandhar: The Revenge

Aditya Dhar

German filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl wasn’t the only person making propaganda for the Third Reich. She is remembered simply because she was the best. By that measure, director Aditya Dhar may be painted with a similar brush, because while his fellow Bollywood opportunists choose to spoonfeed their message, Dhar deploys his through subterfuge. Overlong, gratuitously violent, and brimming with a self-indulgence that borders on arrogance, his latest film, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, ought to be canceled on artistic grounds alone before even a word is spoken about its problematic politics. The film serves as a mouthpiece for India’s ruling Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and not, as it claims on several occasions, a bipartisan story about the bravery of true patriots.

Tue, March 24 2026
Dhurandhar: The Revenge doubles down on everything that made the first film so controversial. The level of sycophancy on display borders on the pathetic. We discuss the film’s plodding narrative, pointless diversions, and shameless devotion to the ruling party. We also talk about plot twists that you see coming from a mile away, the protagonist’s muddled motivations, and the convenience with which certain hurdles are overcome.

Muthu Alias Kaattaan, starring Vijay Sethupathi, begins on a shocking note. A few minutes into the first episode, a local villager discovers a severed head perched on top of a rock — with no body in sight. It is the kind of opening that promises a gripping, atmospheric mystery. Across 10 episodes on JioHotstar, the series attempts to deliver on that promise. Does it get there? Let’s find out! The village police station is facing an existential crisis — negligible cases have brought it to the brink of shutdown. When officer Kalai Pandiyan (Vadivel Murugan) receives a call about the severed head, he seizes the opportunity and nudges his seniors to take up the case. An elderly villager (Balaji Sakthivel) identifies the dead man as Muthu, and the investigation begins.
Sat, March 28 2026
Before Tamil superstar Vijay Sethupathi, who is also the producer of the Tamil series ‘Muthu Engira Kaattaan’, appears in his titular part, we see his smiling head. To begin with, the thriller set in a Tamil village and in a forest area rests on the dilemma of three policemen. The outsider wants the station to be shut because it is visited by creatures like snakes. Constable Kaali Pandiyan (Vaidivel Murugan), who happens to be the son of an affluent goat herder from the village, is so besotted with his wife that the thought of leaving the village for an outstation posting is outright unpalatable to him.
Mardaani 3

Officer Shivani Shivaji Roy returns to hunt down those behind the disappearance of young girls, risking everything to bring them back alive.

Sun, March 29 2026
Mardaani 3 has the same flawed feminism as its predecessors, but a larger canvas to project it on. We discuss the evolution of Rani Mukerji’s vanity project, which is coming up on nearly 15 years. We also talk about the film’s jarring third-act plot twists and Shivani Shivaji Roy’s Bond villain-esque new adversary. Along the way, we touch upon its attempts to create some sort of Avengers-type team for future instalments.
Mon, February 2 2026
The inherent dilemma of a successful franchise lies in its creative confinement. Once a central premise has been firmly established, subsequent chapters often circle familiar terrain, offering variations rather than reinvention. Mardaani 3 is no exception. Shivani Shivaji Roy returns once more—unyielding, razor-sharp, and morally incandescent—to dispense justice, this time in pursuit of girls who vanish without a trace.
Mon, February 2 2026
Abhiraj Minawala’s Mardaani 3 begins where the franchise is most comfortable: with a crisis that demands urgency. Two girls are kidnapped from a farmhouse in Bulandshahar. One is the daughter of an Indian diplomat. The other belongs to the domestic worker employed by the family. The distinction is not subtle, and neither is the film’s point. What initially appears to be a mistake quickly escalates into a national-level crisis, exposing the familiar fault lines of power and urgency. Shivani Shivaji Roy (Rani Mukerji), now with the National Investigation Agency in Delhi, is called in to handle the case. She takes charge instantly.
