Ashiq Abu, who works as a bouncer now and then, ends up picking a fight with a Turkish boxer, Sainul Akhmedov. After the Turkish boxer raises a challenge, Ashiq Abu returns to the boxing ring. Antony Varghese, who has been part of action-packed films such as RDX and Kondal, once again flexes his muscles for Daveed.

Yamakaathaghi

After the mysterious death of a young girl, her spirit lingers around. Panic spreads in the village, and murmurs of supernatural entities emerge. Peppin George Jayaseelan has penned and helmed this supernatural thriller. Check out this film, which gives a rather unique spin to the supernatural genre.

Murmur  

Where to watch: Lionsgate Play, OTTplay Premium 

Streaming date: April 17, 2025 

Language: Tamil

Another Tamil film that latches on to the supernatural/horror genre but is vastly different from Yamakaathaghi, especially in terms of the plot and setting. Murmur is a found-footage horror movie, which tracks a bunch of enthusiastic YouTubers as they venture into a ‘cursed’ forest. Viewers seeking spooky chills should definitely check out Murmur.

Filmmaker-actor Dileesh Pothan leads this film as road construction supervisor Stephen, as he heads to a picturesque hillside.
