Not to be confused with a similarly named 2022 film about Idris Elba fighting a tiger, Beast is best described as "Die Hardin a mall" as it follows an ex-RAW agent who aims to rescue hostages in a shopping mall that has been overcome by terrorists. It's as basic a story as you can get for these kinds of films, so it lives or dies on its action. But what action! A crowd-pleaser with a great lead performance, Beast is the kind of film where you are just waiting to turn your brain off and enjoy...

India really seems to love its crime films. This isn't necessarily a bad thing though if audiences get movies like Saaho, a film about two covert operatives who discover a brewing gang war that could have disastrous consequences. Admittedly, Saaho's story goes to absurd places, but like a lot of films from this era of Indian cinema, that comes to be expected, and it's a ton of fun regardless. When the actual movie itself is this well-made to boot - the action sequences and VFX in particular a...

As the 4th installment of Rohit Shetty's so-called "Cop Universe", Sooryavanshi works as a good introduction to the series as it stands alone as its own story. Following Veer Sooryavanshi, head of the Anti-Terrorism Squad tracking down sleeper cells in the 1990s, and outside of brief cameos from other characters in the universe it works mainly as a standalone entry for this particular character. While its politics aren't exactly the best, that's true of most cop films around the world, and as...

While more of a thriller than a straight action film, Dhamaka contains a solid amount of action regardless and is a more serious affair compared to some others featured on Netflix. A remake of the acclaimed South Korean film The Terror Live, it follows a news anchor who starts fearing for his life after interviewing a terrorist who had recently blown up a bridge. While its premise is a hard pill to swallow due to the circumstances, Dhamaka is a suitably tense, well-directed espionage film tha...
Directed by Farhan Akhtar
A high-octane, slick throwback to the action films of the 70s, Don is one of the more famous Indian films for a reason. Following a drug lord who is wounded and the lookalike that is hired to impersonate him, Donis unique among action films of the 2000s in that it's less a "good vs evil" storyline and more of a battle between morally ambiguous individuals in a classic neo-noir setting. The action scenes are the reason to turn up for Don though, as its chase scenes and cinematography are to di...

Stylish as hell, Malang follows a killer with a purpose who is on the run from cops and other criminals. The less said now the better, as part of the fun with Malang is its twists and turns that constantly make it difficult to predict where it's going to go next in terms of story. It's one of those movies viewers should go into blind. Obviously, that's part of the fun for audiences, and once viewers figure out what's really going on, everything becomes clear as day. The drug-infused editing i...

A biopic that also works as a stellar action film in its own right, Major is the true life story of MajorSandeep Unnikrishnanwho was martyred in the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks. While this film could have had the potential to become a jingoistic one, it instead opts for a more personal look into the life of Sandeep, keeping its stakes small rather than large. Because of that, Major packs an unsurprising emotional wallop, no small part thanks to Adivi Sesh's stellar lead performance. But eve...

The most expensive film made in India at the time of its release, Baahubaliis a historical epic set in medieval India even if it openly (and lovingly) plays loose with history to great effect. Following two cousins who rival over the throne, the large-scale story spans dozens of years and tons of characters - so much so to the point that it was split into two 3-hour films each. It's certainly a beefy watch for sure, but as a whole, it's hard to find a more enjoyable full package than the enti...
