5. Juror #2 (JioHotstar) – April 1
Juror #2 stands out as one of veteran filmmaker Clint Eastwood’s finest works, particularly in the later years of his career. In addition to Nicholas Hoult’s career-best performance, this courtroom drama also features a stellar supporting cast, including J.K. Simmons, Chris Messina, Gabriel Basso, Zoey Deutch, and Kiefer Sutherland.
Many believed that Juror #2 deserved a much wider release than it received. Nonetheless, it remains one of the best legal thrillers in recent years and is a must-watch.
4. The Legend of Hanuman Season 6 (JioHotstar) – April 11
Season 6 of The Legend of Hanuman is set to premiere on JioHotstar on the auspicious occasion of Hanuman Jayanti. While the first four seasons focused on Hanuman’s childhood, battles, spiritual growth, and self-discovery, the last season introduced his Panchmukhi avatar. The upcoming season is expected to feature grander scales, bigger battles, and deeper insights into Hanuman’s journey as he fully emerges as the ultimate devotee of Lord Rama.
3. A Real Pain (JioHotstar) – April 3
This heartwarming and genuinely moving comedy-drama highlights Jesse Eisenberg’s impressive skills as a director. His nuanced handling of themes like family, memory, and the weight of history—particularly about Holocaust sites—is remarkable and subtle. However, it’s Kieran Culkin who steals the spotlight with his chaotic yet deeply touching portrayal of Benji Kaplan.
2. Test (Netflix) – April 4
Test boasts a stellar cast featuring R. Madhavan, Nayanthara, and Siddharth—names sure to draw massive viewership on Netflix, particularly in its first week of release. The film has generated significant buzz among fans, especially as it marks Meena Jasmine’s return to Tamil cinema after nearly a decade-long hiatus. Written and directed by S. Sashikanth, Test is one of the most anticipated releases this month.
1. Jewel Thief – The Heist Begins (Netflix) – April 25
Produced by Siddharth Anand, this upcoming heist thriller stars Saif Ali Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat in lead roles. Directed by Kookie Gulati and Robbie Grewal, the film pits Khan, portraying a sophisticated con artist, against Ahlawat’s powerful mafia boss in a high-stakes battle. Kunal Kapoor and Nikita Dutta also feature in the movie, adding to its star-studded appeal.
