Films/TV shows according to your zodiac sign
ARIES
Your fiery spirit demands something bold, explosive and controversial.
Baby Driver
Written and directed by Edgar Wright, Baby Driver masterfully blends action with a gritty sense of realism. The film opens with what could easily qualify as one of the best car-chase sequences of the century. Forced into working for a criminal boss to protect his girlfriend, music obsessive Baby (portrayed by Ansel Elgort) captivates the audience with his pretty-boy charm and a sincere portrayal of a young boy caught in the crossfire. He isn't just a criminal with a golden heart; he is a vulnerable human being caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. The true beauty of his character lies in that delicate, shifting balance of immaturity, fear, courage, and love.
Anora
Directed by Sean Baker, this romantic dark comedy is an absolute rollercoaster ride. When Anora, a young sex worker from Brooklyn, is swept off her feet by Vanya—the impulsive son of a wanted Russian oligarch—it feels like a modern-day Cinderella story. But the fairy tale quickly spirals into a nightmare. Once she accepts Vanya’s reckless proposal, Anora is thrust into a chaotic reality defined by staggering class disparity and criminal escapism. Yet, amidst the unfolding madness, what truly haunts you is Mikey Madison’s performance. Her portrayal is cryptic, bold, and unhinged—a testament to a woman's strength. And even the strongest women can yearn for a better life, no?
TAURUS
Your love for the finer things in life finds comfort in aesthetic visuals and emotionally rich storylines.
La La Land
Aesthetically pleasing to the eye and food for the soul, this film carves through the heart to strike its deepest chord. Emma Stone’s vibrant yellow dress, set beautifully against the deep indigo canvas of the "City of Stars" sky, serves as a prime example of the film’s visual mastery. By weaving together the heartwarming journey of Mia and Sebastian—capturing the bittersweet ache of growing together while navigating the uncertainty of life—this movie earned its place in the elite echelon of cinema and the history of the Academy Awards. If you haven't already watched it, you must give this Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone starrer a go. It's written and directed by Damien Chazelle.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Set against the snow-clad peaks of Manali and the majestic havelis of Jaipur, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is the ultimate "comfort" Bollywood classic that weaves together friendship, love, and the cost of ambition. The story follows Bunny (Ranbir Kapoor), a passionate photographer and restless travel buff living a free-spirited life alongside his friends, Aditi (Kalki Koechlin) and Avi (Aditya Roy Kapur). During a transformative trekking trip, they reconnect with their studious former classmate, Naina (Deepika Padukone). This feel-good masterpiece doesn't just tell a story; it transports you back to your own college days and leaves you wanting to catch the next flight to literally anywhere fun. Through Kabir’s journey, director Ayan Mukerji beautifully captures the bittersweet tug-of-war between following your heart and chasing your wildest dreams.
GEMINI
Your hunt for well-written scripts and thought-provoking storylines ends here. These films are as intellectual and witty as they can get.
The Drama
This Robert Pattinson and Zendaya starrer is a "love it or hate it" addition to the A24 roster. On the surface, it tracks two individuals spiralling into an emotional frenzy following a shocking revelation. But dig deeper, and the film serves as a catalyst for conversations on racism, bullying, and the friction of trying to fit in. While a large pocket of cinephiles embraced its dark comedy, others felt it didn’t quite reach the heights of A24’s critically acclaimed standards. Regardless of the polarising reception, it's worth a watch for its transparent portrayal of human emotion—capturing the raw beauty of both active choices and reflexive reactions.
Inglourious Basterds
This Quentin Tarantino black comedy war film is the definition of quality cinema through and through. Following a World War II revenge storyline, it’s far from your typical action movie. For instance, the opening scene reels you in with curiosity, leaving you totally unsuspecting of what’s to come. What starts as a civil conversation quickly morphs into a high-pressure sequence that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Christopher Waltz may not be the lead actor, but his Oscar-winning performance as the "Jew Hunter" stays with you long after you've watched the film. The cast includes Brad Pitt, Diane Kruger, Eli Roth, and Mélanie Laurent, who star as the lead characters.
CANCER
Diving into the depths of human emotion, these carefully handpicked films will make you feel every feel.
Before Trilogy
When Jesse and Celine first meet, it isn't wild chemistry or instant sparks that draw you in, but the effortless simplicity of their conversation—a raw, honest curiosity to truly know one another. The beauty of this trilogy doesn’t lie in grand, dramatic gestures, but in the quiet magic of human connection (and, it must be said, that breathtaking European backdrop, which elevates the romance to poetry). Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, and Before Midnight reintroduce us to different versions of Jesse and Celine at distinct milestones of their lives, yet what remains beautifully unchanged is the enduring nature of their love.
Tamasha
Intrinsic to millennial pop culture, Tamasha tackles internal chaos, societal expectations and self-discovery through a narrative that doesn't scream its message, but whispers it like poetry. When the free-spirited Ved (Ranbir Kapoor) crosses paths with Tara (Deepika Padukone) in Corsica, it kicks off a journey that redefines modern love. Over the years, Tara’s character has sparked endless debate: hailed by many for enabling Ved to embrace his true self, yet criticised for choosing her own peace when he refused to rise to the occasion. Yet, that’s exactly where the film triumphs. It shows that love brings out your best, provided you are willing to do the inner work. Cancerians, consider this your mirror—this film’s emotional depth is not everyone’s cup of tea.
LEO
Leos, you guys appreciate some good ol’ drama, and these entertainers deliver exactly that!
People We Meet on Vacation
Deny it all you want, Leos, but we know you’re total softies at heart. While the world forces you to keep that fierce exterior, secretly, you’re dying for a romance like Alex and Poppy’s. This is the kind of story that makes you want to book a flight just to manifest a meet-cute with a gorgeous stranger. When Poppy, a chronic jetsetter terrified of settling down, meets Alex, a grounded family man and her polar opposite, their vacation-fuelled journey unfolds into the ultimate truth: home isn’t a place, but a person.
Big Mistakes
Laughs, gasps, eye rolls galore—this series brings all of it! Co-created by Dan Levy and Rachel Sennott, it follows two siblings thrown into the utter chaos of a surprisingly funny organised crime web. The show balances edge-of-your-seat tension with flawless comedic timing. Dan Levy completely steals the spotlight—watching him maintain a cool, unbothered facade while every ounce of his insides want to scream during all the stressful situations is hilarious. Top-tier writing, brilliant acting, and pure entertainment from start to finish!
VIRGO
While you chase success and financial goals, these films will remind you to strike a healthy balance between work and rest.
Jerry Maguire
This movie kicks off on a total high note for Virgos, tapping straight into your love for a solid hustle. Jerry’s legendary “show me the money” attitude? That’s basically the ultimate perfectionist motto. But don’t get too comfortable—the film quickly serves up a much-needed reality check, proving that clinical success means nothing without a little soul. While Jerry starts out hyper-focused on corporate status and fat commission cheques, it’s his client, Rod Tidwell, who drops the real wisdom: the “Kwan.” It’s that magical, holistic blend of cash, respect, passion, and community. For the goal-oriented Virgos who occasionally trade their morals and a piece of mind for professional advancement, this movie is a brilliantly entertaining reminder that you can climb the ladder without losing your humanity on the way up.
Eat Pray Love
Liz Gilbert (played by Julia Roberts) sets out on a journey of self-discovery after realising her marriage and career no longer make her happy. Directed and co-written by Ryan Murphy, this film is based on Gilbert’s 2006 memoir detailing her travels across Italy (Eat), India (Pray), and Bali (Love). While modern life often makes us forget the simple joy of good food, the story’s first stop reinforces its importance. Through pizza, pasta, and great wine, she learns the art of truly enjoying what she eats. Next, she travels to India to stay at an ashram, meeting new people and learning to view the world from a fresh perspective. Finally, her journey concludes in Bali, where she restores her sense of balance and peace—and even finds love along the way. The film’s biggest takeaway is the power of dropping a victim mindset to take full control of your life. Above all, it offers a gentle, beautiful reminder that it is entirely valid to pause, reset, and start over.
CAPRICORN
Capricorn, these films cater directly to your ambitious drive and hustler’s mindset.
Tick Tick… Boom!
Jonathan Larson (portrayed by Andrew Garfield), talks about a constant ticking in his head—like a time bomb triggering his sky-high anxiety and making him question everything he’s risked for that one stubborn dream–to have a sold out play. Andrew Garfield’s opening monologue even won him a Golden Globe for Best Actor. Named one of the best films by the American Film Institute, the story captures the gruelling hustle of an artist labeled delusional by the world, yet driven by his undying passion to create art. Lacking privilege, we see Larson constantly struggling with overdue rent, endless script rejections, and exhausting diner shifts followed by sleepless late-night writing sessions. The film masterfully depicts the heartbreaking yet incredibly inspiring reality of an aspiring Musical Theatre Director, who refuses to back down. If you’ve been feeling demotivated lately, this powerful ode to persistence will rekindle your faith in chasing your dreams
The Wolf of Wall Street
At the time of its release, this film gained near-legendary status for its bold scenes and high-stakes dark comedy. Directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Terence Winter, it is based on Jordan Belfort’s 2007 memoir documenting his wild, fast-paced life as a U.S. stockbroker. Leonardo DiCaprio delivers a stellar lead performance, brilliantly matched by Jonah Hill as his chaotic partner-in-crime. Exploring corruption, fraud, and the madness of Wall Street, the story tracks the dramatic rise and fall of Belfort’s career. Brilliant writing, top-tier direction, and unforgettable acting make this film a complete package!
LIBRA
Consider this chicken soup for your gentle soul, Libra. Serving up big laughs, heartfelt moments, and just the right amount of mush!
Schitt’s Creek
This show has a massive fan following, and for all the right reasons! The series opens to a frantic Moira Rose (played by the late Catherine O'Hara) packing her precious wigs while screaming at her husband, Johnny (Eugene Levy), and their kids, David and Alexis (played by Dan Levy and Annie Murphy), to regain some sanity. We soon find out that the Roses have been stripped of every bit of their wealth after Johnny’s business manager embezzles the family fortune. This forces them to relocate to the only asset they still legally own: Schitt’s Creek, a run-down small town Johnny once bought as a joke. From here, we follow their lives as the family adjusts from their extravagant mansion to a humble, two-bedroom setup at the local motel. Created by father-son duo Eugene and Dan Levy, this is a heartwarming story of a family navigating the storm and learning to find joy even in the toughest times.
Crash Landing on You
Peace-loving Libras will instantly fall in love with Yoon Se-ri (Son Ye-jin), an heiress to her father's massive empire, whose picture-perfect world turns upside down after a freak paragliding accident drops her right into the North Korean demilitarized zone. The series takes us through her chaotic journey stranded in this unfamiliar land, navigating her safety against high-stakes diplomacy, all while falling deeply for Captain Ri Jeong-hyeok. Torn between her heart and mind, Se-ri must eventually make the agonizing choice to head back home to Seoul. Of course, it is ridiculously easy to fall for Hyun Bin, who portrays the doting Captain ever so beautifully. Ultimately, Crash Landing on You will take you on an emotional rollercoaster of friendship, romance, and unwavering dedication.
SCORPIO
For your ever-curious mind that doesn’t easily scare, two shows that will quench your fascination with the darker shades of life.
The Girlfriend
Is the mother overbearing and ridden with suspicion, or is the girlfriend really a manipulative social climber? When a sweet Daniel (Laurie Davidson) brings home the quick-witted, charming Cherry (Olivia Cooke), she wins over everyone, but his overprotective mother, Laura (Robin Wright), has her suspicions. Olivia and Robin are so convincing in their roles, they’ll have you switching your loyalties and support against the possible femme fatale. This page-turner of a show has an unreliable narration, making it the juicy psychological thriller it is. This 6-episode limited series flaunts baffling power dynamics, gray characters and a pace that keeps you on the edge of your seat, desperately wanting answers to the questions it raises in its wake. According to your zodiac sign, this is a rather accurate film recommendation.
Sinner (Season 1)
Without wasting any time on whodunnit, Sinner’s first episode slaps you with a shock as a dead-eyed Cora (Jessica Biel) stabs a man to death and pleads guilty no sooner than the show starts. Ridden with shame, she instantly pleads guilty but the stubborn detective, Harry Ambrose (Bill Pullman) decides to delve deeper and unravel why this seemingly harmless, depressed housewife murders a stranger. Throughout the 8 episodes of this limited series, we are pulled into some leads, all reasonable until they aren’t, as Cora herself tries to hack into her foggy, repressed memory to understand why she killed a man she doesn’t know. The answer is a shocking, haunting story that will stay with you for days. This dark, traumatic psychological thriller delivers a denouement that’s as disturbing as its satisfying, making up for a pace that can sometimes seem dragged but eventually rewarding.
SAGITTARIUS
Here’s something that caters to your need to explore everything and your impatience with monotony.
Fleabag
Any Sagittarius with their commitment-phobia to a single, boring identity or life would relate to Fleabag’s (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) confession monologue. Her wit and warmth–a deceptive mask for her undying internal conflict makes her one of the most brilliantly-written, achingly human protagonists ever. Both seasons of the show depict Fleabag’s awkward, faltering navigation through life with a hilarity that can soften the weight of the vulnerability she voices. Sagittarius’ foot-in-mouth habits will find Fleabag’s annoyingly blunt yet flippant attitude very relatable. Created and written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who won several Emmy awards and a Peabody for the show, its humour is rare and refreshingly raw, as it handles complicated human relationships and flaws with good-natured, ill-timed awkward jokes.
The Worst Person in the World
Novelty-seeking Sagittarians never last in a place or an interest for too long–much like this Norwegian film’s protagonist, Julie (Renate Reinsve), who is turning 30 soon and is going through a quintessential late-20s existential crisis. Juggling many questions revolving around her career, romantic relationship and the very meaning of life. Everyone who suffocates under the weight of the lives they do not get to live–would find much to revel in this critically acclaimed movie and its achingly raw depiction of life. The Worst Person in the World, the titular reflection of which lies in the pain of indecisions, existential angst and hurt feelings that result in the protagonist’s quests to answer the questions she is suffocated by.
AQUARIUS
As an inherently smart and humanitarian individual, you will love how both these recommendations cater to your empathetic mind!
Remarkably Bright Creatures
Intellectually curious Aquarians will find a kindred spirit in Tova Sullivan, an elderly widow who works night shifts at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, and Marcellus, a remarkably smart, giant Pacific octopus who observes human behaviour from inside his tank. Driven by innate compassion and sharp observation, these two form an unexpected bond as Marcellus uses his extraordinary intelligence to solve the lingering mystery of Tova’s son. Anyone who understands meaningful connections, quiet brilliance, and the value of helping another soul will relate to this story. Remarkably Bright Creatures is heartwarming and emotional, showing how both humans and animals can rescue one another.
Kathal
Your deeply humanitarian streak need not weigh you down with heavy political films, Aquarius. Kathal is a satirical comedy, a social commentary that highlights how the most absurd concerns pertaining to powerful people are prioritized over real societal issues. Mahima (Sanya Malhotra) is a competent officer burdened with the task of investigating the theft of two prized jackfruits for a local politician. The film subtly sheds light on caste disparity, skewed societal privilege and the hindrances an honest officer must face, without ever being preachy and heavy-handed.
PISCES
Pisces (February 19 to March 20) is a water sign known for deep empathy, vivid imagination, and a strong spiritual nature
Jojo Rabbit
Jojo (Roman Griffin Davis), a lonely 10-year-old boy, joins the Hitler Youth simply because he wants to belong. Happily lost in his fanatic world, he dreams of becoming the perfect little Nazi with the help of his imaginary best friend, Adolf Hitler–until he learns his mother is hiding a Jewish girl, Elsa, in their attic. Jojo Rabbit is a dark comedy drama depicting how easily hatred is taught to someone impressionable. And how that hate crumbles when you meet the “enemy” you’ve been asked to fear and realize it’s a person with a story of their own. Adapted from Christine Leunens’ book Caging Skies, unlike most war films that are grim and gloomy, Director Taika Waititi has painted Jojo Rabbit in lively, joyful colours to juxtapose Jojo’s naïve understanding of the world against the horrors surrounding him. Waititi uses humour not to diminish the devastation of the time but to show the absurdity of the ideology being taught to Jojo.
As Good As It Gets
It isn’t easy to like Melvin–he’s racist, sexist, homophobic and makes nary a effort to hide it, and yet somehow, by the end of the movie, we like the bloke. It is loneliness that brings together this misanthrope, a struggling gay artist, and Carol, an exhausted single mother. The portrayal of a grumpy Scrooge (Melvin), complimented by Carol’s (Helen Hunt) stellar performance, won both Nicholson and Helen Hunt the Academy Awards for best actors. Through unexpected humour, the film shows what empathy can do for an appalling oddball like Melvin when he’s given the space to do better. For the compassionate, empathetic Pisces, As Good As It Gets is a reminder that tenderness often resides under tough, misunderstood exteriors.
