Tom Cruise stars in the comedy \"Digger,\" a departure from his usual high-octane action roles. He plays a billionaire oil tycoon who must solve an ecological disaster he caused. Meanwhile, Rajinikanth returns in \"Jailer 2,\" reprising his role as the retired prison warden who returns to protect his family from a dangerous criminal syndicate.\n\nFor horror fans, \"Other Mommy\" and \"Whalefall\" provide chilling tales. The former follows an eight-year-old girl who sees a terrifying figure emerging from her closet, while the latter sees a man trapped inside a whale's belly for an hour. \"Primetime\" delves into the real-life story behind the infamous TV show \"To Catch a Predator,\" starring Robert Pattinson as the journalist who led the stings.\n\nDocumentaries and adaptations round out the month. \"Always LaLisa\" offers a behind-the-scenes look at Blackpink's Lisa, while \"Klara and the Sun\" brings Kazuo Ishiguro's novel to life as a solar-powered artificial friend struggles to understand human emotions. Finally, \"Clayface\" transforms a Hollywood actor into a tragic monster after a botched medical procedure.",
