If you thought Superman was yesterday’s news, think again! James Gunn’s bold and dynamic reboot of DC’s most iconic hero, Superman (2025), is nothing short of a cinematic masala treat. From punchy action sequences to teary-eyed emotional beats, this one’s got the full Bollywood-style package—with a firangi twist, of course!
Now soaring through Indian theatres in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and English, this epic superhero flick marks the beginning of a brand-new DC Universe. And let’s just say—bhaiya, it’s not just another cape story. It’s an emotional rollercoaster, peppered with high-octane visuals, laughter, drama, and a touch of desi charm.
David Corenswet’s Superman Hits Hard, But Feels Real
Stepping into the red cape is David Corenswet, who brings a refreshing, relatable touch to the Man of Steel. Unlike the god-like version we saw with Henry Cavill, this Superman is more grounded, more human—or should we say, more alien trying to be human? Gunn’s vision presents Superman as a true outsider, not just physically but emotionally, trying to navigate a world that both fears and needs him.

And guess what? He’s got a sidekick now—Crypto, the adorable super-dog who’s not just for comic relief but brings some real heart to the film.
Lois, Lex & the Legacy
Rachel Brosnahan plays Lois Lane with sharp intelligence and natural charm, matching Superman scene-for-scene with wit and grit. Meanwhile, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor is an absolute menace—cunning, ruthless, and oozing the kind of villainy that makes your skin crawl (in a good way). His mission? Superman’s vinash. And he’s got a plan, alright.
James Gunn smartly avoids rehashing Superman’s origin story—because honestly, who doesn’t know where Kal-El came from by now? Instead, he dives straight into the action. And when we say action, we mean dhamaka from the get-go. Within minutes, the screen explodes with chaos, emotion, and those classic “Oh wow!” superhero moments.
A Tight Runtime with Tight Emotions
Clocking in at 2 hours and 10 minutes, this film doesn’t waste a single frame. After a slightly slow start (don’t worry, it’s just a tease), the pace shifts into full-throttle mode—like a bullet train on fire. Gunn’s signature humor peeks through, but it’s carefully balanced. No cringy jokes or unnecessary slapstick—just smart, character-driven wit that adds flavor without overpowering the stew.
And yes, the cinematography, color grading, and background score? All chef’s kiss! The IMAX and 3D experience especially adds a whole new layer of immersion—you feel like you’re flying with Superman!
What Works & What Falters

Even fans who’ve grown weary of DC’s back-and-forth storytelling will feel this is the nayi shuruaat they’ve been waiting for.

Whether you’re a hardcore DC fan or just in for a thrilling weekend watch, Superman 2025 is a full paisa vasool affair. James Gunn has not only reinvented Superman but also reignited hope for the DC Universe.
And if this is the direction DC is heading, bhai, Marvel better buckle up.
