Stolen: Heist of the Century rockets through every minute like a bullet train, tossing you right into a crew of thieves bent on pulling India’s wildest score yet: a vault so hush-hush it might as well sit on the moon, guarded by flashing lasers, shady leaders, and a countdown that never slows.

Most citizens never even guess it’s there. The crew shows brilliant, shaky, misfits, scared and clutched secret wounds that hurt them if they fail in their job. They begin with the plan in the pocket, and the victory glowing in their eyes. Then the cracks appear. Doubt slips through the cracks. Little white lies turn into roaring accusations. When the lasers finally hum into life, the real traps snap shut—some built by the vault and some by the people you thought were on your side.

The camera never blinks. Every heartbeat is a countdown. The cast doesn’t act; they breathe the fire of people who can’t afford a second failure. You notice the sweat on their brows and the shaky smiles that mean they might live yet. The magic of Stolen is that it feels borrowed from the news, not the script. The cash is never the prize; the prize is survival long enough to rewrite a single page of their broken histories. If you crave a ride so tight it might rip the seat, this is your movie, and the seats might just rip you right along with it.

Love Hurts

• Release Date: August 7, 2025
• OTT Platform: Jio Hotstar
• Genre: Romantic Drama
• Language: Hindi
• Director: Tanuja Chandra
• Cast: Rajkummar Rao, Radhika Apte, Sayani Gupta

Love Hurts goes in a dim lamp wavering in a hallway and follows two people, who heals the wounds of each other and bear them under their skin. They meet in a little Mumbai support group, a room hushed by tea steam and the gravity of whispered loss.

At first they trade pauses instead of words, letting the other’s history drip gently into the empty spaces they both know too well. Outside, neither of them claims to know what’s next, yet every careful step rebuilds the nearly forgotten habit of hope. The film quiets the impulse to shout or sparkle; it trusts the weight of tender things. No sweeping choreography, no perfect Hollywood smiles.

The camera simply stays a little too long on the pregnant silence before one of them decides to break it, on a fingertip that hesitates on a wrist as if to swear a quiet vow, on the hushed room that finally, finally feels like a kind of room they can belong in.

Love Hurts takes you to the slow repairs and speaks of the unravelled truth which resides in the cracked hearts. Als, it shows the bravery which is needed to open up once and more after getting shattered. If you have ever stood by people in a crowd and felt the edged fo the solitude bright, then this film is the best for you.

Mickey 17

• Release Date: August 7, 2025
• OTT Platform: JioHotstar
• Genre: Sci-Fi, Thriller
• Language: English
• Director: Bong Joon-ho
• Cast: Robert Pattinson, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, Mark Ruffalo, Naomi Ackie

In a world so cold that flesh costs less than metal, we plant whole planets with borrowed bodies. Mickey 17 is the seventeenth version of a worker made to shatter on first impact. Each splash of the molten ocean calls up a newly minted twin to repay the price of the fall. But the Mickey who opens his eyes this time is marked by a dull, low-burning wish: to wade through the old copies and taste the name that keeps vanishing from his tongue.

Bong Joon-ho, the weaver of tears, teeth, and bullet-train breath, folds the tale in his hush of quiet grief and sideways chuckles. The empty sky is a mirror draped in frost, and Pattinson, voice blurred like smoke in the cold wind, edges the borrowed rebellion. Mickey 17 will slide beside you in the dark and make you lean closer to the chill, asking whether the next barren rock is a victory or just another frostbite.
