From vampires to aliens, from Tollywood to Hollywood, from indies to blockbusters, here are the best movies of 2025.

James Cameron’s ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ gives us some of the most spectacular visuals of the year, but maintains the saga’s simplified storytelling.

Predator: Badlands offers up a PG-13 sci-fi buddy story that feels more like a Star Wars side quest than a continuation of the spine-ripping Predator universe.

Rishab Shetty blends cinematic spectacle with cultural folklore for a grand-scale prequel in ‘Kantara: Chapter 1’.

Make some room on your top 10 list because Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another is a frantic, funny, and heartfelt father-daughter story that feels incredibly relevant in our current political climate.

We’ve seen cinematic universes, supernatural stories, and otherworldly action heroes a million times, but Dominic Arun’s Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra gives us a refreshing and meticulously-made take on the superhero genre.

Coolie was one of my most anticipated movies of 2025, but aside from the performances of Rajinikanth and the star-studded cast, director Lokesh Kanagaraj’s film quickly becomes a convoluted mess of wasted potential.

War 2 is an action-packed spectacle that unapologetically embraces its over-the-top nature. But can the formulaic YRF Spy Universe still be fun?

The murderous doll is back in M3GAN 2.0, but this time, we’ve traded horror for comedy.
