Ryan Reynolds is synonymous with the word Deadpool, thanks to his unforgettably hilarious and violent performance as the foul-mouthed mutant mercenary. Deadpool is different from other costumed heroes with his movies filled with blood-stained action and inappropriate humour.

As the R-rated comic book franchise returns with Deadpool & Wolverine, our guide takes you through all the Deadpool movies in order and all the platforms where you can stream them in India.

How to watch the Deadpool movies in chronological order

• Deadpool (2016)

• Deadpool 2 (2018)

• Once Upon A Deadpool (2018)

• Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)

You can watch the Deadpool movies in the same order as their release date with the movies following a chronological order. First up is the 2016 origin story Deadpool that covers how Wade Wilson became the red-and-black suit-wearing mercenary. Deadpool 2 finds him taking on future missions while facing off against Cable, a mutant from the future played by Josh Brolin.

You don’t need to watch Once Upon A Deadpool as it’s just a family-friendly version of Deadpool 2. But diehard franchise fans can still watch it for bonus content like Deadpool narrating the entire movie like a Christmas-themed bedtime story.

The latest Deadpool movie to watch will be the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine that brings the titular mutants together. The movie is also notable for introducing Deadpool into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). All previous Deadpool movies were distributed by Fox and weren’t connected to the MCU. But with Disney-owned Marvel finally producing Deadpool & Wolverine, Deadpool gets to jump across timelines and dimensions to join the same universe as the Avengers.

Is X-Men Origins: Wolverine connected to the Deadpool movies?

X-Men Origins: Wolverine can be a bonus watch for Deadpool fans even though this 2009 film isn’t connected to the main franchise. The film was notable for introducing Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson but later turned him into a mute villain codenamed Weapon IX. This was also the first time Reynolds’ Wilson and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine appeared together.

The Deadpool movies found Reynolds playing Wilson again but rebooted his role to turn him into the titular antihero.

While Wolverine has enjoyed comic book popularity since the 1970s, Australian star Hugh Jackman reinvented the adamantium-clawed mutant ever since he starred in X-Men. Then came the sequels and standalone Wolverine movies like X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Logan, cementing his presence in pop culture.

Now, with The Wolverine star joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in Deadpool & Wolverine, have a look at the right order to stream every Wolverine movie in order.

How to watch the Wolverine movies in chronological order

The first Wolverine movie to watch chronologically is X-Men Origins: Wolverine as it traces his story before he joined the mutant team known as X-Men. The last one to watch is Logan for it traces an aging phase of his life in a post-apocalyptic future.

• X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

• X-Men: First Class (2011)

• X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) (the 1970s sequences)

• X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

• X-Men (2000)

• X2: Men United (2003)

• X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)

• The Wolverine (2013)

• X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) (the 2023 sequences)

• Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)

• Logan (2017)

Between X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Logan, the only standalone Wolverine movie to watch is The Wolverine which finds the titular mutant revisiting his past in Japan.

Then, there are also the X-Men movies with Wolverine being a core member of the team. While his appearances are brief in the team’s origin stories X-Men: First Class and X-Men: Apocalypse, he plays a pivotal role in the original X-Men trilogy (X-Men, X2, X-Men: The Last Stand).

X-Men: Days of Future Past is where things get tricky as the movie shifts between the 1970s (the same timeline as X-Men Class) and a dystopian 2023 (continuing the events of the original X-Men trilogy). With Wolverine travelling between these two timelines, you can watch the movie either after X-Men: First Class or after The Wolverine.

The timeline is about to branch out even more with Deadpool & Wolverine. The third movie in the Deadpool franchise, it pairs Hugh Jackman’s clawed mutant alongside Ryan Reynolds’ red-costumed mercenary Deadpool. The exact time period of the movie remains unclear until the movie is released. It can either be set before Logan as Wolverine looks younger here but it can also be alternatively set in a whole other dimension (given that Deadpool & Wolverine connect the rest of the movies with the Marvel Cinematic Universe).

How to watch the Wolverine movies in release order

The release order of the Wolverine movies can be divided into standalone movies that focus mainly on Wolverine (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, The Wolverine, Logan) and the X-Men movies. The latter can be divided further into prequels like X-Men: First Class and X-Men: Apocalypse and the original X-Men trilogy (X-Men, X2, X-Men: The Last Stand) with X-Men: Days of Future Past connecting both series.

Anurag Basu didn’t have the best start in Bollywood when he directed the 2003 slasher Kucch To Hai. But since his largely-forgotten debut, Basu has established in multiple genres ranging from crime dramas to romantic comedies.

If you are intent on checking out the filmography of the Barfi, Life…in a Metro , and Ludo director, here’s a definitive ranking of his best movies and a guide to where to watch them all.

From Murder to Ludo: Which Anurag Basu movies should I watch first? 

Anurag Basu’s directing career began in 2003 with the supernatural slasher Kuchh To Hai with the John Abraham-led fantasy romantic thriller Saaya. But it’s perhaps best that you watch them both in the end as they are far from his best works.

Basu’s career later progressed with the Mahesh Bhatt-produced thrillers Murder and Gangster. Both movies garnered cult fanbases in their time. A remake of the American erotic thriller Unfaithful, Murder explored infidelity with iconic performances by Emraan Hashmi and Mallika Sherawat. The 2004 hit went on to spawn the Murder franchise with many spiritual sequels.

Gangster reunited Basu with Hashmi and starred actress Kangana Ranaut (in her screen debut). The tragic love story revolved around a woman caught between a singer and a gangster ex-lover. But in terms of longevity, Basu’s next movie has enjoyed a better reputation.

Life…in a Metro is a 2007 romantic anthology that boasted an ensemble cast including the late Irffan Khan, Konkana Sen Sharma, Dharmendra, and many more. Basu could establish his penchant for exploring complicated love stories across different age groups, a trait he would go on to show in his future works.

But perhaps the most essential Anurag Basu movie to watch is his magnum opus (so far) Barfi. The heartwarming romantic comedy offered career-defining performances by Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra, later being selected as India’s official Oscar submission for Best International Feature in 2012.

Barfi’s success gave way to another collaboration with Ranbir Kapoor in the form of the adventure thriller Jagga Jasoos. Featuring Kapoor as a teenage detective, the Disney production followed his thrilling Tintin-like adventures across different corners of the world. Largely shunned at the times of its release, Jagga Jasoos still entertains a limited but cult fanbase that is ready to appreciate Basu’s visual flair and narrative ambition. The same perhaps remains true for the Hrithik Roshan-led romantic thriller Kites, another imperfect but promising adventure directed by Basu.

The director’s most recent film found him revisiting the anthology formula with the Netflix original Ludo. With four stories playing out with the unpredictability of the titular board game, Ludo brought Basu back to form. With chuckle-worthy performances by Pankaj Tripathi and Rajkumar Rao, Ludo was a thrilling exploration of crime, love, heartbreak, and the ultimate futility of human life. Often making cameos in his own films, Basu himself had an extended special appearance in Ludo as Yama, the Hindu god of death.

Why is Barfi the best Anurag Basu movie to watch?

Starring Ranbir Kapoor as the titular character, Barfi followed a cheery deaf-mute young man as he accidentally strikes up a romance with the free-spirited autistic girl Jhilmil (Priyanka Chopra). But the entry of an elderly woman (Ileana D’Cruz) turns Barfi’s life upside down and an emotional love triangle follows. With Chaplin-esque comedy, adorable romances, and an unexpectedly tragic third act, Barfi endures as Anurag Basu’s best film to watch.

Sonakshi Sinha started out as a costume designer for independent films but eventually established herself as a Bollywood name following her debut in Dabangg. Apart from frequently starring alongside stars like Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, and Ajay Devgn, Sinha has also got top billing in women-led dramas like the action thriller Akira and the journalism-themed dramedy Noor. With the Prime Video cop thriller Dahaad and the Netflix period drama Heeramandi, Sinha has also successfully established herself in the OTT space.

Here’s a look at the best movies and TV shows starring Sonakshi Sinha along with all the information that you need to stream them.

From Dabangg to Dahaad: What Sonakshi Sinha movies and TV shows should you watch first? 

For starters, one can watch the Dabangg franchise as it established Sinha as a new face in the industry. It all started with the over-the-top action comedy Dabangg that starred Salman Khan as the khaki-wearing casanova Chulbul Pandey and Sinha as Lajjo, the woman he falls in love with. However, the Dabangg trilogy doesn’t allow Sinha to fully flesh out her dramatic range and mainly puts the spotlight on Khan.

Sinha has had similar roles in other masala potboilers like Bullet Raja, R…Rajkumar, Rowdy Rathore, Action Jackson, and Tevar. All of these action films are full-fledged entertainers in their own right and boast Sinha taking on some comedic roles. But to get a deeper idea of her emotional skills, Lootera is a cult favourite to watch.

The period romance directed by Vikramaditya Motwane stars Sinha as the daughter of a wealthy landowner who gets charmed by Ranveer Singh’s mysterious archeologist. However, the script doesn’t reduce her to the hero’s love interest. Rather, she gives a career-defining performance as Paki Roy Chaudhary, an ever-curious soul who wishes to step out of her conservative life and discover her passion as a writer.

As her career progressed, Sinha also took on women-centric dramas where she got top billing. These include Noor in which she played a journalist finding her identity in the urban chaos of Mumbai. In Akira, Sinha tried to rebrand herself as an action heroine and displayed similar traits in mystery thrillers like Force 2 and Ittefaq.

Double XL is another interesting comedy-drama to watch, starring Sinha along with Huma Quereshi as two plus-sized women who battle body-shaming stigmas by following their professional instincts.

But perhaps a new high in Sinha’s career came from 2023 onwards when she fronted the cop drama series Dahaad. Marking her OTT debut, Sinha played a hot-headed policewoman who pursues a woman-killing psychopath in Rajasthan. Sinha followed her class act with the Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed Netflix series Heeramandi. In this visually dazzling period drama, Sinha had a double role as a vengeful courtesan and her mother.

Why is Dahaad Sonakshi Sinha’s best title to watch?

While Sonakshi Sinha has had memorable roles in movies like Lootera, it is Dahaad that marked her second coming on streaming. Dahaad appears as a standard investigative thriller in the start, with Sinha essaying the role of Sub-Inspector Anjali Bhaati. But as the episodes progress, Sinha’s character doesn’t only chase a serial killer but also challenges the casteist notions of her village. It’s a bold role that Sinha takes on with conviction and confidence, earning her a Filmfare OTT Award.

Taapse Pannu is a leading name in modern Bollywood today but before leading Hindi movies like Thappad and Pink, she found her start in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam movies. While Pannu has shared screen space with Bollywood heavyweights like Shah Rukh Khan (Dunki) and Amitabh Bachchan (Badla), Pannu also finds time for a few South Indian dramas like Game Over and Anabelle Sethupathi.

If you like the diverse work of Taapsee Pannu, our guide takes you through her best movies and where to watch them.

From Pink to Manmarziyan: Which Taapse Pannu movies should I watch first?

Before she became a household name with Baby and Pink, Pannu appeared in a handful of South Indian movies across various languages. From her early 2010s work, the best film to watch is her Tamil debut Aadukalam. Directed by Vetrimaaran, the film found Pannu playing an Anglo-Indian girl called Irene alongside Dhanush’s rowdy rooster-fighter hero.

Coming to her Bollywood credits, the role that drew her the most attention initially was that of undercover special agent Shabana Khan in Neeraj Pandey’s spy thriller Baby. With Akshay Kumar in the lead, Baby was a gripping adrenaline ride with Pannu shining in her brief but memorable performance. She would reprise her role in the prequel Naam Shabana.

As a lead actress in Bollywood, the first career highlight for Pannu came with the courtroom drama Pink. Detailing the aftermath of a woman’s molestation and a rigged court case, Pink featured a compelling performance by Pannu alongside Amitabh Bachchan who starred as the lawyer representing her. Pannu would go on to play more of such empowering roles in women-led dramas such as Thappad.

After Pink, she revisited the legal drama genre once again with Mulk. The 2018 film starred her as a lawyer attempting to clear her father-in-law’s name after he’s falsely accused of having links with extremist terror groups.

Biopics also dominate Pannu’s filmography, particularly the ones on sports stars. So, while Saand Ki Aankh found her playing sharpshooter Prakashi Tomar, Shabaash Mitthu starred her as the former Indian women’s cricket team captain Mithali Raj. She also had supporting roles in other biopics and fact-based films like the hockey-themed Soorma, the Mars space mission drama Mission Mangal, and the sports drama Rashmi Rocket.

Two of Taapsee Pannu’s best movies were directed by Anurag Kashyap. Their first collaboration was the offbeat love triangle Manmarziyaan and the other was a sci-fi drama called Dobaaraa, an official remake of the Spanish film Mirage.

Talking about remakes, Pannu has also notably starred in the Indian remakes of German time travel classic Run Lola Run (Loop Lapeta) and the Spanish revenge-thriller The Invisible Guest (Badla).

So, while she might take on commercial ensemble-led dramas like the Rajkumar Hirani immigration comedy Dunki or the Varun Dhawan-fronted screwball comedy Judwaa 2, Pannu also harbors a passion for genre roles like a video game developer in the survival thriller Game Over and an alleged husband-killer in the romantic thriller Haseen Dillruba.

Why is Thappad the best Taapsee Pannu movie to watch?

Thappad deals with a woman’s quest for self-independence after a slap by her husband changed her life. Taapse Pannu’s character starts off with suppressing her feelings and then evolves to release them with dramatic but hard-hitting monologues. The film garnered her a Filmfare Award for Best Actress and made her a bankable leading actress in her own right.
