March is shaping up to be one of the most exciting months at the cinema in Mauritius. Dhurandhar: The Revenge is back with higher stakes, Toxic brings a darker twist to Indian cinema, Thomas Shelby returns to the big screen and Disney’s Hoppers adds a lighter, family-friendly option to the mix.
Here’s why these four films are generating serious anticipation across the island.
Dhurandhar: The Revenge
Sequels always come with pressure – and that’s exactly why Dhurandhar: The Revenge is creating so much excitement.
The first film built a strong emotional connection with audiences through its themes of revenge, loyalty and justice. Now, the story returns with even higher stakes. Hamza Ali Mazari — whose real identity is Jaskirat Singh Rangi — continues his dangerous undercover mission inside Pakistan’s criminal underworld, determined to track down Majo.
Even without revealing too much about the plot, the anticipation lies in the promise of bigger action sequences and deeper emotional stakes that feel even more intense than before.
In Mauritius, emotionally charged revenge dramas always find their audience – and this sequel looks ready to deliver.
Cast: Ranveer Singh, Sara Arjun, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Rakesh Bedi
Toxic
Toxic is drawing attention for a completely different reason – mystery.
Subtitled A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, this upcoming Indian period gangster film has set a darker mood – slow tension, sharp visuals and a more controlled intensity.
Set in an earlier era in Goa, the story follows a powerful drug cartel operating behind the postcard image of beaches and sunshine.
For many viewers in Mauritius, it feels like a step forward for Indian cinema in this genre — more polished, more cinematic, and less predictable.
In Mauritius, thrillers with a sharp edge often build momentum through word-of-mouth. People are curious to see if Toxic will live up to its name (and it’s viral trailer).
Cast: Yash, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Rukmini Vasanth, Tovino Thomas, Nayanthara, Kyle Paul, Akshay Oberoi
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man
This is arguably the most talked-about release of the month.
After the global success of Peaky Blinders series (2013–2022), fans in Mauritius have been waiting years to see what happens next. Now, the story returns not as another episode, but as a full-scale British crime drama film.
Bringing this world to the big screen immediately raises expectations: bigger stakes, richer cinematography, and a more intense, immersive experience than television ever allowed.
Set in Birmingham in 1940, against the chaos of World War II, the film follows Tommy Shelby as he is pulled back from self-imposed exile into what may be his most destructive reckoning yet.
With the future of the Shelby family — and even the country — hanging in the balance, Tommy must confront his past, his power, and the consequences of every decision that built his empire.
Cast: Paul Anderson, Cillian Murphy, Sophie Rundle, Barry Keoghan, Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth, Stephen Graham, Jay Lycurgo
Hoppers
On the lighter side of the spectrum, Disney’s Hoppers is generating excitement among families and animation lovers.
While full storyline details may still be unfolding, the colourful branding and upbeat tone suggest a fun, energetic adventure. For Disney fans especially, this release feels like a natural pick – bright visuals, lovable characters and a heartwarming journey.
Animated films tend to perform well in Mauritius, especially when they balance humour with emotion. Even before release, families are already eyeing this one as a potential weekend outing.
Sometimes, the excitement isn’t about knowing every detail – it’s about the promise of a feel-good cinema experience.
