Film critics Rahul Desai, Suchin Mehrotra and Anupama Chopra reunite for the October edition of "It's A Wrap" on The Hollywood Reporter India. The trio dissects the month's biggest releases, including the horror-comedy universe films Thamma and Stree 2, while exploring what worked and what didn't in Amar Kaushik's expanding franchise. Rahul shares his surprising enthusiasm for vampire films as the critics debate whether Thamma lived up to its franchise predecessors and the impact of Loka's recent release.

Anupama recommends Apple TV+'s Mr. Scorsese documentary while Rahul champions Paul Greengrass's The Lost Bus, praising Matthew McConaughey's powerful performance as a father in the disaster thriller. The episode concludes with anticipation for upcoming releases including Dev Part Two, Shiram Raghavan's next film, and the year-end war movies.
