Is this the best single-year run by an actress in box office history, or are we still waiting to see if Dune 3 actually delivers?

Two massive IP sequels and one Nolan original that people. Is 2026 the year hollywood officially recovered… or are we just watching the last few tentpoles that can still force people into theaters?

James Cameron has three of the top four, Marvel owns three entries, and Ne Zha 2 became the first non-English-language film.

But if we’re being honest… like how some Inidan movies like Patan did, how much of this list is pure entertainment power vs ticket price inflation + massive franchises pr?

I believe DILEESH POTHAN - A10 🔥 Will be an industry hit🤞

Baasha, Mankatha, Jailer, Vikram... The list is long. Curious to know other movies which can be in this list.

It’s really a miracle that a film with all these even allowed to happen, considering how split up the rights were

Birdman is a must-watch film by Alejandro Gonzalez, in my opinion.

It's about a man who trying to reinvent himself. It feels like one continuous shot the whole way through. The camera rarely cuts, which makes the story feel real, intense, and almost like you’re right there with the characters as chaos unfolds.

The movie won four big Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director.

He turns 63 today🥳

I believe, Girish AD is the new gen Shafi (2000's rom-com), the king of feel-good rom-coms

But what I like most is his selection of stories. He's actually telling the story of a single character, every movie is in different stages of her / his life.

Thanneer Mathan Dinangal – the raw, awkward, watermelon-juice days of teenage insecurities.

Super Sharanya –Shy small-town girl thrown into hostel chaos, that confused experimental college phase, where she slowly learn to stand up for yourself.

Premalu – that uncertain yet curious, hopeful, figuring out love while dealing with unwanted attention and new possibilities.

Bethlehem Kudumba Unit – Waiting but from trailer, it's again a continuation of her 25+

It’s not the same character, but it feels like watching one continuous girl arc (or even a boy) across time, the same soft humour, the same confusion, the same romantic roller coaster drama, it looks like Mamitha Baiju almost becomes the face of that journey.

Can be considered as Girish AD’s version of Richard Linklater’s Before trilogy.

Where Linklater followed one couple through different stages of love and life, Girish is doing it for youth with pure humour ..

What are your expectations on BKU

What makes it special in 2026

Three completely different women, but one thing in common....

Chandra from Vada Chennai.

She exists in a world built for men, gangsters, politics, power. But she moves everything around her without anyone realising it. The moon that learned to move the tides without ever touching the water.

Chandra from Lokah.

She didn't choose immortality. She chose to survive it. The moon that has been rising and setting for centuries, alone, still showing up.

Chandra from DC is actually based on Chandramukhi from Devdas but Arun Matheswaran completely reimagined her.

She is the bloody moon that was contained for too long in a world that took everything from her, her freedom, her body, her dream of a simple life. The moon that just burns.

BUT THEY WERE ALL DEFINED by what the world did to them. and then they decided they were done being defined by it.
