Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel in 'Shotgun Wedding' — Shotgun Wedding (UAE cinemas): We love a good romantic comedy with a healthy dose of action and adventure. Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel's latest film is an absolute romp. This film, which documents a loved-up and sometimes jittery bride and groom tying the knot in a tropical island, has a lot going for it. Their dreamy nuptial is hijacked by a bunch of native rebels and it's upto them to save their family. Also watch out for Jennifer Coolidge who is in top form here. Image Credit: Lionsgate

Better Call Saul-1646472562178 — Better Call Saul (Netflix): He made a lasting impression on audiences in the hit series Breaking Bad, and frankly no one’s complaining about seeing the scamming lawyer Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) once again. This Vince Gilligan-directed drama series imagines his life post-Walter White and brings it to a logical conclusion. We suggest that you watch it even if you’ve already done so. Also starring Giancarlo Esposito, Rhea Seehorn and Jonathan Banks. Image Credit:

Thunivu 70x20 banner 02-1673518312111 — Thunivu (Tamil, running in UAE Cinemas): We loved him as the baddie in Mankatha (2011) and he’s back in the same avatar in this action heist directed by H Vinoth. Malayalam actor Manju Warrier acts alongside him in an ensemble cast that also features Samuthirakani, John Kokken and GM Kumar. ‘No guts, no glory’ is the movie’s tagline. We predict this movie will be gloriously entertaining, too. Image Credit:

Haseen-Dilruba- — Haseen Dilruba (Netflix): The makers of this splendid thriller announced its sequel earlier this week, so why don't you catch up on the first instalment right away? Plus, Taapsee Pannu and Vikrant Massey are gloriously unhinged in this warped romantic thriller. The question about love making you do crazy things is underlined in this film about a newly-married couple who are navigating the treacherous terrains of love and relationships here.

Veerasimha Reddy (Telugu, UAE Cinemas) Balakrishna, fondly known as Balayya to his fans, headlines this action film that’s been directed by Gopichand Malineni. From Duniya Vijay to Honey Rose, Lal and Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, the movie’s cast draws talent from many Indian film industries. If its trailer is any indication, you’re in for a roller-coaster ride.
