If you’re a fan of adrenaline-pumping action, then RRR and Jaanbaaz Hindustan Ke will bring you the best action choreographies. RRR is an Academy Award-winning high-octane period action film set in pre-independent India that highlights the story of two friends-turned-revolutionaries who set off on different paths to fight for a common cause, freedom for India. Also bringing in another tale of grit and perseverance is Jaanbaaz Hindustan Ke.

In Blurr, a woman with progressive blindness has to find answers to her twin sister’s unlikely death before time runs out.
