Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 31: There are films that arrive quietly. And then there are films that arrive already apologising for the noise around them. Ikkis belongs to neither category. It arrived mid-conversation, mid-controversy, and mid-collision—between creative stubbornness and an industry addicted to optics. At first glance, Ikkis looks like an unlikely headline-maker. It doesn’t come wrapped in franchise armour. It doesn’t promise scale-for-scale destruction. It doesn’t flirt with algorithmic heroism. And yet, it has found itself entangled in debates about casting exits, box office survival, artistic refusal, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes, a filmmaker choosing “less” feels like…

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 31: There’s something almost impolite about horror in 2025. It doesn’t knock. It doesn’t announce itself. It doesn’t care if you’re tired of trauma metaphors or if you “miss when horror was fun.” This year’s slate looks you dead in the eye, smiles politely, and then rearranges your nervous system.

So they escalate—not always with gore, but with mood, nihilism, and the kind of ideas that linger longer than the jump scares. Horror Refused To Behave…
