By Saurav Bhanot | LAST UPDATED: APR 21, 2025

Since February is officially the shortest month of the year, one is bound to feel a bit surprised as soon as March pops up to say hello. But such is life and here we are!

Lo and behold, it’s March. Another month and with that, another bunch of movies releasing at a theatre near you. Though it’s usually tough to fake enthusiasm regarding new movies, considering Bollywood and pretty much every other movie industry is going through such a tough time, the roster for March 2025 is actually looking... quite decent?

Mickey17

Anything made by Bong Joon-ho is exciting enough; add to that Robert Pattinson in a dual role and the science fiction genre interspersed with black comedy and what you have is a truly unique cinematic experience. There’s a reason Mickey17 has been one of the most awaited movies of the year!

The Monkey

If you’ve seen the movie’s trailer, you’d know that this horror film is looking and feeling unlike any other films from this genre. And judging by the reviews of the film (it released in the US on February 21), everyone who has watched the movie has loved it just as much.

The Diplomat

We’re used to John Abraham flexing his abs and muscles in every movie he does but going by the trailer of The Diplomat, he won’t be doing any such thing in this one. Here he plays, well, a diplomat, who is out to rescue an Indian girl from Pakistan. The film is based on a true story so we’re expecting a taut thriller with all the right twists & turns.

It’s been a while since we saw a good anthology movie, plus My Melbourne boasts of 4 directors, each of whom are quite credible. Featuring shorts by Onir, Rima Das, Imtiaz Ali and Kabir Khan, these movies are inspired by true events in Melbourne and feature casts boasting of both Indian and international.
