Best bets this week
Gandhari leads the picks with a grief-powered pursuit through an uncanny town, while The Runner turns central London into a moving moral trap. For a warmer change of key, Jagamae Sangeetham sets pop ambition against a deeply protected Carnatic inheritance.
Final takeaway
This is a week built for switching gears. Start with a tense chase or a vengeance tale, move into music and family conflict, then make room for documentary reflection or unruly ensemble comedy. The breadth of languages, settings and formats is the slate's strongest asset.
