It depends. Fans who want the music and the moves will get a lavish tribute; viewers hoping for a searching portrait of a contested life should expect less.

From Gary, Indiana, to global superstardom and the pressures that followed, Antoine Fuqua's authorized biopic traces Michael Jackson's creative genius and personal contradictions through performance, family, and the glare of fame. Jaafar Jackson — the pop icon's nephew — carries the title role in a film that aims for celebration even when the subject's legacy remains contested.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge (2026)

Aditya Dhar · Action, Thriller · 3h 49m

India · Hindi · Mar 19, 2026

Review pending — no verified score yet

Yes, with reservations. It is a gripping, overwhelming event film for fans of big Hindi action, provided they can handle its length, gore and chest-thumping patriotism.

Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar sequel trades arthouse restraint for maximalist set pieces and patriotic swagger as Hamza (Ranveer Singh), deep undercover in Karachi's Lyari, sees his mission turn into a bloody personal war with rival gangs, crooked officials and the ruthless Major Iqbal closing in.
