★★★½☆
Jawan is Atlee's maximalist Hindi vigilante thriller, a Shah Rukh Khan showcase that is uneven as drama but hard to resist as crowd-pleasing spectacle.
Yes, with reservations. Watch it for the set pieces and Shah Rukh Khan at full wattage; skip it if you want tight plotting or subtle politics.
★★★★½
Jaws is Steven Spielberg's 1975 shark thriller, the film that created the summer blockbuster and still grips because it understands suspense better than spectacle.
Yes. It is essential viewing, as gripping now as it was in 1975, and a near-perfect choice for anyone who enjoys thrillers, adventure or great ensemble acting.
★★★★☆
John Wick: Chapter 4 is Chad Stahelski's nearly three-hour globe-trotting action epic, stuffed with astonishing set pieces and a scene-stealing Donnie Yen.
Yes. It is one of the most spectacular action films of its era, ideal for genre fans, though its length and paper-thin plot will test casual viewers.
★★★★☆
Joko Anwar's Nightmares and Daydreams is a seven-part Indonesian horror anthology on Netflix, uneven by episode but ambitious, striking and full of social anger.
Yes. It is an ambitious, handsomely made anthology that rewards patience, best for horror and sci-fi fans who can accept a few weaker episodes along the way.
★★★★☆
Joy of Life is a Chinese costume epic in which a young man with a modern mind navigates a deadly imperial court, a sprawling saga lifted by sly, disarming wit.
Yes. It is one of the most entertaining Chinese costume dramas of recent years, ideal for viewers who want scheming and swordplay with a sense of humour.
★★★★½
Joyland is Saim Sadiq's Cannes prize-winning Pakistani drama about a married man who falls for a trans dancer, a tender, devastating portrait of a family bound by duty.
Yes. It is one of the finest Pakistani films of recent years, a humane family drama for viewers who value patient, character-driven storytelling.
★★★★☆
Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is Sunghoo Park's anime prequel about a haunted teenager and the school that trains him to fight curses, with superb action and real emotional weight.
Yes. It is a thrilling, surprisingly moving anime feature for action fans and Jujutsu Kaisen viewers, though newcomers may find parts of its world rushed.
★★★★☆
Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat moves the hidden-camera hoax to a fake hot-sauce firm's retreat, and it works again thanks to its kind, unsuspecting star.
Yes. It is a warm, very funny follow-up that repeats the original's trick with new absurdity, best for anyone who loved Jury Duty or enjoys cringe comedy.
★★★★☆
K.G.F: Chapter 1 is Prashanth Neel's Kannada period action epic about a gangster's rise in the Kolar Gold Fields, a swaggering origin myth that made Yash a star.
Yes. It is a thunderous, stylish mass-action spectacle for genre fans, though its frenetic editing and thin female roles will put some viewers off.
★★★★☆
K.G.F: Chapter 2 is Prashanth Neel's bigger, louder conclusion to Rocky's saga, a Kannada action spectacle of rare swagger that sometimes drowns in its own noise.
Yes. Fans of Chapter 1 and mass-action cinema should see it for its scale and Yash's command, but expect exhausting editing and overpowering hero worship.
★★★★½
Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum pairs Fahad Mustafa and Hania Aamir as mismatched newlyweds in a warm, funny Pakistani drama that trades toxic tropes for real partnership.
Yes. It is one of the most likeable Pakistani romances of recent years, ideal for viewers tired of obsessive love stories and hungry for chemistry with warmth.
★★★☆☆
Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi is a hugely popular Pakistani drama about a tycoon's son fixated on a young woman, compelling as melodrama but troubling in how it frames love.
It depends. Fans of intense, high-drama romance and of Danish Taimoor will be gripped; viewers who dislike stories that romanticise control should skip it.
★★★½☆
Kalki 2898 AD is Nag Ashwin's Telugu sci-fi epic fusing Mahabharata myth with a dystopian future, dazzling in scale and Amitabh Bachchan's presence but uneven in tone.
Yes, with reservations. Its ambition, visuals and powerful second half reward fans of Indian spectacle, but a slow, jokey first half makes the three hours a test.
★★★★☆
Kamar Kamariah is a 13-episode Malaysian domestic thriller about a woman trapped in an outwardly pious marriage, tense, brave and led by committed performances.
Yes. It is a gripping, unflinching Malay-language drama about domestic abuse, best for viewers who can handle dark subject matter and some familiar melodrama.
★★★½☆
Kamli is Sarmad Khoosat's bold Pakistani drama about a woman's repressed desire and religious guilt, led by a fearless Saba Qamar and as divisive as it is striking.
Yes, with reservations. Its daring subject and Saba Qamar's intensity reward patient viewers of art-house drama, though its stylised, slow approach will not suit all.
★★★★☆
Kang Mak from Pee Mak adalah remake Indonesia atas komedi horor Thailand Pee Mak. Herwin Novianto memberinya lawakan lokal tanpa membuang sisi romansanya.
Ya, dengan catatan. Komedi horor yang lucu dan hangat, cocok untuk nonton bareng, termasuk bagi penonton yang biasanya menghindari film seram.
★★★☆☆
Kapoor & Sons is Shakun Batra's Hindi family drama about estranged brothers returning home, messier and more honest than most, though uneven when it turns to tears.
It depends. Viewers who like messy, adult family drama will find plenty to admire; those wanting a tighter or lighter film may find it long and uneven.
★★★★☆
Khamosh Pani is Sabiha Sumar's quietly powerful Pakistani drama about a widow whose village is swept up by religious fervour, led by a superb Kirron Kher.
Yes. It is an essential, deeply humane South Asian drama for viewers interested in history, faith and women's lives, despite some schematic storytelling.
★★★★½
Khemjira is a Thai BL series that blends a family curse, Buddhist folklore and slow-burn romance, and it is one of the most ambitious and assured entries in the genre.
Yes. It is the rare BL series that works just as well as supernatural horror, ideal for romance fans who want real stakes and genre fans open to a love story.
★★★★☆
Khuda Aur Mohabbat's third season pairs Feroze Khan and Iqra Aziz in a lavish Pakistani romance about class, faith and devotion, grand in scale and in emotion.
Yes. It is a sweeping, heartfelt spiritual romance with star chemistry and real scale, best for viewers who enjoy maximal melodrama and can forgive a slow middle.
★★★★☆
Khuda Kay Liye is Shoaib Mansoor's ambitious post-9/11 Pakistani drama about two musician brothers pulled apart by extremism and suspicion, bold if often preachy.
Yes. It is a landmark Pakistani film and a gripping, provocative drama about faith and identity, though its long running time and speeches test patience.
★★★★☆
Kill Bill: Vol. 2 finishes Quentin Tarantino's revenge saga as a slower, talkier and sadder film than Vol. 1, trading swordplay spectacle for character.
Yes. It is the richer half of the Kill Bill story and essential after Vol. 1, though viewers who came for nonstop action may find its long conversations a test.
★★★★☆
Killing Eve is a stylish British spy thriller about an MI5 officer and the assassin she hunts, dazzling in its early seasons even as later ones lose their grip.
Yes. Its first two seasons are among the most fun thrillers of their era, ideal for fans of dark comedy and spy stories; expect diminishing returns afterwards.
★★★★½
King of Boys is Kemi Adetiba's sprawling Lagos crime saga, a Nollywood epic of politics and the underworld built around a towering Sola Sobowale performance.
Yes. It is one of the essential Nigerian films of its decade and a gripping crime saga for anyone with the patience for nearly three hours of power games.
