In Don 2, Shah Rukh Khan's iconic character is back, and this time, the stakes are higher than ever.

4. Happy New Year


Who says a heist movie can’t be fun?

The heist is far from conventional, with a mix of quirky moments, emotional subplots, and larger-than-life characters. The combination of heart, humor, and heist makes this film a truly unique entry in the robbery genre, delivering laughs and thrills in equal measure.

5. Sikandar Ka Muqaddar


Sikandar Ka Muqaddar tells the story of Sikandar (Avinash Tiwary), wrongfully accused of stealing diamonds at a jewelry exhibition, which ruins his life. Years later, after marrying Kamini (Tamannaah Bhatia), Sikandar is contacted by cop Jaswinder (Jimmy Shergill), who had always suspected his involvement. Jaswinder apologizes for his past doubts.

However, unaware that the cop is trailing him, Sikandar retrieves the stolen diamonds from where he had hidden them. To his shock, he catches him red-handed, revealing the truth.

As each story unfolds, you’re left questioning who the true masterminds are and whether the pursuit of wealth is worth the chaos it leaves behind. These films are a reminder that in the world of crime, trust is as valuable as the loot, and sometimes, even the best-laid plans go horribly wrong.
