June is heating up, and not just because of the weather. This month’s movie lineup promises a cinematic experience that ranges from laugh-out-loud comedy to edge-of-your-seat suspense. If you’ve been waiting for a reason to hit the theaters, now’s the time.
Big-Screen Comedy and Star Power: Housefull 5 & Materialists
Akshay Kumar returns to stir up laughs in Housefull 5, releasing on June 6. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, this fifth entry in the hit franchise brings a fresh twist—dual endings. Yes, you read that right. With an ensemble cast featuring Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Nargis Fakhri, the movie is poised to keep audiences guessing and entertained.
Meanwhile, Materialists arrives in theaters on June 13, already riding high on viral buzz. Set in New York City, this romantic dramedy follows Dakota Johnson as a savvy matchmaker torn between a seemingly perfect new flame and her emotionally tangled past. The film, directed by Celine Song, also stars Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal—two names that practically guarantee box office traction.
Dark Thrills and Emotional Depth: 28 Years Later, Sitaare Zameen Par & Maa
28 Years Later hits theaters on June 20, continuing the cult-favorite saga that began with 28 Days Later. While Cillian Murphy returns as executive producer, the film focuses on new characters navigating a world still grappling with the rage virus. Expect a gripping mix of survival drama and psychological horror, crafted to leave a lasting impact.
Also debuting on June 20, Sitaare Zameen Par marks Aamir Khan’s much-anticipated return. Considered a spiritual successor to Taare Zameen Par, this film is an adaptation of the Spanish sports comedy Champions. Khan takes on the role of a coach mentoring a group of first-time actors, with Genelia D’Souza co-starring. It’s heartfelt, inspirational, and bound to resonate with family audiences.
Closing the month on a chilling note is Maa, releasing June 27. Directed by Vishal Furia and produced by Devgn Films, this horror-thriller tells the story of a mother’s battle to protect her daughter from a demonic curse. With standout performances by Kajol, Ronit Roy, and Indraneil Sengupta, this one’s not for the faint of heart—but it’s definitely worth the scare.
