A unique blend of horror, comedy, and self-aware satire, Devil's Double Next Level (formerly DD Next Level) hits ZEE5 on June 13. Written and directed by S. Prem Anand, this fourth instalment in the Dhilluku Dhuddu franchise features Santhanam as Kissa, a brutally honest YouTube film critic who finds himself pulled into the very movie he's been invited to review. What starts as a private screening turns into a twisted supernatural trap when Kissa's family and fellow reviewers are sucked into a cursed film, all orchestrated by Hitchcock Iruthyaraj—a failed filmmaker turned vengeful ghost. Packed with Tamil cinema tropes, ghostly surprises, and self-referential humour, DD Next Level offers a wild, meta-cinematic ride that explores not just scares, but also the ethics of film criticism itself.
Alappuzha Gymkhana
SonyLIV
June 13
Alappuzha Gymkhana
arrives on SonyLIV after a theatrical run that resonated with fans of grounded sports dramas. Directed by Khalid Rahman, the film dives deep into the lives of five school-leaving friends—Jojo, DJ, Valthu, Cherthu, and Shanavas—who are grappling with their failed 12th-grade exams and a bleak future in small-town Alappuzha. While one of them manages to pass, the rest find themselves lost and searching for purpose. Set against the backdrop of an old-school boxing club, the film tells a coming-of-age story with heart, grit, and resilience. With strong performances and an emotionally layered narrative, this underdog tale is as much about friendship and failures as it is about the ring.
Prince and Family
ZEE5
June 20
Premiering on ZEE5 on June 20, Prince and Family has already made a mark in theatres as Dileep's highest-grossing film since Ramaleela. The family entertainer follows Prince Chakkalakkal (Dileep), a beloved bridal boutique owner from central Travancore who, despite his eligibility and age, remains unmarried. With a cast including Siddique, Raniya, Dhyan Sreenivasan, Johny Antony, and Manju Pillai, the film explores themes of responsibility, familial expectations, and love through a light-hearted and emotional lens. Set in the lush landscapes of rural Kerala, Prince and Family promises an engaging mix of humour, sentiment, and strong performances that will likely strike a chord with family audiences everywhere.

This 12 year old horror film will make you scream in dark, based on a true story, has 6/10 IMDb rating, the film is.., lead actors are... In the ever-evolving world of cinema, many films come and go, especially in the horror genre. However, most horror films these days often entail jump scares and expected turns and twists that might shake you at first, but their impact doesn't last long. But every once in a while, a film comes that touches your soul, gives you chills like no other. One such similar tale is of a film that won't just scare you, but its terror will stay with you long after its credits roll. This film will tell a story so raw and real that it will unsettle your core; however, the twist will also not let you leave your seat. The film that we are talking about is none other than '3096 Days'. This German film was released in 2021, and it's based on the true story of a 10-year-old Austrian girl, Natascha Kampusch, who was kidnapped in 1998. The story talks about this girl who went to her school, only to never return the same. After being kidnapped, she was held hostage for 8 and a half years, she was locked in a basement, and was mentally and physically abused. The title of the film refers to the exact number of days she spent in isolation and torture. The film is directed by Sherry Hormann, who shows Natascha's story with deep and emotional intensity. The role of 10 year 10-year-old girl, Natascha, is portrayed by Antonia Campbell-Hughes with utmost conviction. She also went through a realistic, physical transformation to do justice to the role. Thure Lindhardt will be seen playing the kidnapper who manipulates and controls the young girl brutally. The film is dark, emotionally draining, and not for the faint-hearted, but if you are a fan of horror films that will have you biting your nails, then it should be on your must-watch list. Made on a humble budget of around 5–7 million dollars, the film collected approximately $6.68 million (around ₹55 crores). Although it did not hit gold at the box office, it later found its audience on OTT. The film has a 6.5/10 rating on IMDb and is currently available on Prime Video and YouTube '3096 Days' is not a film you watch for fun — it's one you experience with empathy. A film that will wrench your gut, but also will keep you hooked till the end.

Dakota Johnson SLAMS Hollywood Bosses, Says They Are 'Remaking Same Things'
Dakota Johnson thinks Hollywood is in a "bit of a mess" because studios want to focus on remakes and sequels instead of offering audiences something "fresh". Dakota Johnson thinks Hollywood is in a 'bit of a mess" because studios want to focus on remakes and sequels. The Materialists actress suggested people making decisions in the industry 'don't know anything" about movies and just want to capitalise on the success of one project, rather than taking a risk and offering audiences 'fresh" new stories. Appearing on YouTube series Hot Ones, host Sean Evans asked her why she feels 'Hollywood is so risk-averse," as someone who has seen the industry 'up close and personal." She said: 'I think it's hard when creative decisions are made by committee and it's hard when creative decisions are made by people who don't even really watch movies or know anything about them, and that tends to be what's occurring a lot. 'When something does well, studios want to keep that going so they remake the same things, but humans don't want that. They want fresh, they want to feel new things, experience new things, see new things, so I don't know, I guess it's all just a bit of a mess right now, isn't it?" Dakota recently insisted her film Madam Web's poor performance wasn't her fault because the film – in which she played Cassie Web, a paramedic who develops psychic abilities following an accident – had 'turned into something else" after she signed up for the project. She told the Los Angeles Times newspaper: 'It wasn't my fault. There's this thing that happens now where a lot of creative decisions are made by committee. Or made by people who don't have a creative bone in their body. And it's really hard to make art that way. Or to make something entertaining that way. 'And I think unfortunately with Madame Web, it started out as something and turned into something else. And I was just sort of along for the ride at that point. But that happens. Bigger-budget movies fail all the time." Dakota insisted she doesn't 'have a Band-Aid over it" and isn't too worried about the experience. She said: 'There's no part of me that's like, 'Oh, I'll never do that again' to anything. I've done even tiny movies that didn't do well. Who cares?" Dakota previously suggested she wouldn't make another superhero film following her experience on Madame Web. She told Bustle: 'I had never done anything like it before. I probably will never do anything like it again because I don't make sense in that world. And I know that now. 'Sometimes in this industry, you sign on to something, and it's one thing and then as you're making it, it becomes a completely different thing, and you're like, 'Wait, what?' 'But it was a real learning experience, and of course it's not nice to be a part of something that's ripped to shreds, but I can't say that I don't understand." First Published:
