Full Review Hollywood English + Hindi (dubbed)

Clayface Movie Review (2026)

Release: 23 October 2026 • 1h 48m • Superhero Body-Horror

★ 7/10

🔍 Ye review kaise bana? Release-day critic reviews (Indian + international), first-show audience reactions aur Day-1 final box-office data (Sacnilk/Bollywood Hungama) ka original synthesis; humne film theatre me khud nahi dekhi.

✅ Kya Accha Hai

RT par ~76% Certified Fresh aur audience ka 95% Popcornmeter — early viewers kaafi khush (embargo 21 Oct ko utha)
Indian critics positive: IE 3.5/5 ('surprisingly winsome outing'), Mathrubhumi English 4/5 ('solid, nasty horror film with two excellent performances')
Tom Rhys Harries aur Naomi Ackie ki performances ki tareef — Time Out ne 4/5 dekar ise 'best DC film in years' kaha
Concept hi unique hai — superhero genre me asli body-horror, The Joker wali villain-origin energy (kuch viewers ne 'best villain origin story since The Joker' kaha)
India me Hindi dubbed version ke saath release — WB India ne official announce kiya tha

❌ Kya Kamzor Hai

Critics divided: Boston Globe 2/5, ComicBookMovie 2.5/5 ('DC's Morbius moment'), IndieWire negative — third act aur tonal shifts par shikayaten
Metacritic sirf 59 — arthouse-horror audience ko pasand aayegi, mass superhero fans ko shayad 'slow' lage
CBFC 'A' certificate + 24 seconds ke cuts — family audience ke liye nahi; India me Hindi version ki kamai English se bahut kam (Day-1 final: Hindi ₹0.10 cr vs English ₹0.65 cr)
Day-1 India final ₹0.75 cr net (1,898 shows, 36,904 tickets) — modest opening, par $40M budget par film ko lambi race ka mauka hai; Day-2 (Sat) final ₹0.86 cr net (+13.16%), Day-3 (Sun) ₹0.89 cr net (+3.49%), weekend ₹2.51 cr net (Bollywood Hungama)

⚡ FilmiGyaan Ka Faisla

DC Studios ka sabse ajeeb aur sabse daring bet — ek Batman villain ki body-horror origin story jo superhero film se zyada ek tragedy lagti hai. Critics divided hain (RT ~76% Fresh, Metacritic 59) par early audience clearly pyaar kar rahi hai (95% Popcornmeter). India me English + Hindi dono me release hui hai — R-rated hone ke bawajood — par Day-1 final sirf ₹0.75 crore net raha (English ₹0.65 cr, Hindi ₹0.10 cr). Film ki quality aur box office ki kahani alag hai: dekhne walon ko pasand aa rahi hai, par theatres me bheed nahi aa rahi. Final rating 7/10.

Kahani (Premise)

Matt Hagen (Tom Rhys Harries) kabhi ek ubharta hua actor tha — ab wo auditions me reject hota hai, aur uska chehra ek haadse me bigad chuka hai. Jab industry uska darwaza band kar deti hai, to wo ek mysterious experimental treatment ke liye haan keh deta hai. Treatment kaam karta hai — uska jism ab mitti ki tarah hai; wo use dhaal kar kisi ka bhi chehra, kisi ka bhi jism bana sakta hai. Pehle to ye vardaan lagta hai — khoi hui pehchaan wapas. Par dheere-dheere taakat uske control se bahar nikalti hai, aur Matt Hagen ke andar se ek monster ubharne lagta hai: Clayface.

Dr. Caitlyn Corr (Naomi Ackie) is experiment se judi hui hain — unka role kahani ka emotional anchor hai. Ye Batman-universe ki film hai, par iska tone kisi superhero film jaisa nahi — ye ek insaan ke tootne ki body-horror tragedy hai.

Performances

Tom Rhys Harries (Matt Hagen / Clayface) — film inhi par tiki hai, aur early reviews me unki performance sabse zyada praise pa rahi hai. Mathrubhumi English ne film ko “two excellent performances” wali kaha — doosri performance Naomi Ackie ki hai. Harries ko ek toot-te hue actor ka dard aur ek monster ki khatarnaak physicality — dono nibhani hain, aur critics ke mutabik ve dono me convince karte hain.

Naomi Ackie (Dr. Caitlyn Corr) — Ackie (Whitney Houston biopic I Wanna Dance with Somebody wali) yahan ek complex scientist ka role nibha rahi hain — jo experiment ki zimmedaar bhi hain aur uske natijon se ladti bhi hain. Unki aur Harries ki scenes ko kai reviews ne film ka emotional core bataya.

Supporting me David Dencik, Max Minghella aur Eddie Marsan hain — character actors jo is tarah ki dark stories me wazan laate hain.

Direction Aur Technical Side

Director James Watkins horror ke purane khiladi hain (Eden Lake, The Woman in Black, Speak No Evil) — aur yehi film ki sabse badi taakat hai. Screenplay Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House, Doctor Sleep) aur Hossein Amini ne likhi hai — do aise naam jo horror me character-driven dread ke liye jaane jaate hain.

Isliye Clayface typical comic-book CGI dhamaka nahi hai — ye practical-effects-wali, slow-burn body-horror hai. Early viewers ne “scariest, freakiest DC movie” (Consequence, B grade) kaha, jabki Boston Globe (2/5) ko scares ki kami lagi — ye divide film ke tone ko samjhata hai: ye jump-scare horror nahi, transformation-horror hai. Producers me James Gunn, Peter Safran aur Matt Reeves ke naam hain — DC Studios ke naye daur ki pehli R-rated theatrical entries me se ek.

Hindi Dub Kaisa Hai?

Ye section hamari priority hai kyunki Hindi-dubbed Hollywood releases hum khaas taur par cover karte hain — aur yahan imaandaari se dono baatein darj karni hain.

Availability (confirmed): Film India me English ke saath Hindi me release hui hai. Warner Bros. India ne 22 July ko official tweet kiya tha: “#ClayfaceMovie only in Cinemas on October 23 in English & Hindi.” BookMyShow/District.in par languages me English aur Hindi listed hain. Sacnilk ke Day-1 final data me Hindi ke 678 shows the (₹0.10 crore net vs English ke ₹0.65 crore/1,220 shows) — matlab Hindi version asal me theatres me chal raha hai, sirf kagaz par nahi, par uski kamai English se lagbhag 6.5 guna kam hai.

Dubbing quality: Yahan imaandaar hona padega — release day tak kisi bhi review ya source ne Hindi dubbing ki quality par specifically comment nahi kiya. Koi critic (Indian ya international) dub par alag se nahi bola. To “dub damdaar hai” ya “dub bekaar hai” — dono me se kuch kehna jhooth hoga. Hindi shows dekhne walon ke reactions aate hi ye section update karenge.

Tamil/Telugu: Koi evidence nahi. Saare trackers (Sacnilk, District.in, BMS) sirf English + Hindi list karte hain — Tamil Nadu me advance shows English me hi the. Ye Street Fighter jaisi multilingual release nahi hai.

OTT par Hindi audio: Abhi koi official OTT date nahi hai. Theatrical ke baad jab film streaming par aayegi, tab Hindi audio track milega ya nahi — ye tabhi confirm hoga.

Critics Aur Audience Kya Keh Rahe Hain

Embargo 21 Oct ko utha tha, aur tasveer divided-positive hai:

Scores: Rotten Tomatoes ~76% Certified Fresh; Metacritic 59; audience Popcornmeter 95% (250+ verified ratings) — dekhne wale critics se zyada khush hain. Letterboxd early average ~3.7/5.
Indian critics: IE 3.5/5 (“surprisingly winsome outing”); Mathrubhumi English 4/5 (“solid, nasty horror film with two excellent performances”); Bollywood Hungama positive (“gripping and disturbing superhero horror film”); Times Now positive; TOI ne Twitter roundup kiya.
International positive: Time Out 4/5 (“best DC film in years”); Consequence B (“scariest, freakiest movie ever made based on a DC property”).
International negative: Boston Globe 2/5; ComicBookMovie 2.5/5 (“DC’s Morbius moment”); IndieWire negative (plotting par criticism).
Audience (TOI roundup): kuch ne ise “best villain origin story since The Joker” kaha; doosron ne third act aur tonal shifts ki shikayat ki.

Consensus: horror fans ke liye taaza aur daring; typical superhero masala chahne walon ke liye slow/divisive. Isi par hamari final rating 7/10 hai — quality ke liye, box office ke liye nahi.

Box Office: Day-1 Final

India Day-1 final (Sacnilk): ₹0.75 cr net — English ₹0.65 cr (1,220 shows), Hindi ₹0.10 cr (678 shows); India gross ₹0.90 cr; 1,898 shows, 36,904 tickets; English occupancy 15.89%. Bollywood Hungama English version ko ₹0.76 cr batata hai — tracker estimates me chhota farak aam hai.
Advance booking (Day-1): ₹75.18 lakh gross (₹32.37 lakh bina block seats), 26,088 tickets, 2,036 shows, 8% occupancy.
Day-2 final (Sat 24 Oct, Bollywood Hungama): ₹0.86 cr net — Day-1 se +13.16%; 2-day total ₹1.62 cr net. Saturday growth modest hai — advance booking (₹85.45 lakh gross) ne jo sanket diya tha, final usi disha me raha, par koi breakout nahi.
Day-3 final (Sun 25 Oct, Bollywood Hungama): ₹0.89 cr net — Day-2 se +3.49%; opening weekend total ₹2.51 cr net. Teen din ka pattern flat-positive hai (₹0.76 → ₹0.86 → ₹0.89 cr, BH series) — film doob nahi rahi, par India me breakout bhi nahi ho raha; US/global opening ($43M worldwide, TheWrap) hi iski asli race hogi.
Day-4 final (Mon 26 Oct, Bollywood Hungama): ₹0.37 cr net — Day-3 se −58.43% ka Monday drop; 4-day total ₹2.88 cr net. Trade estimate (BollyMovieReviewz) Day-4 ₹0.35 cr / 4-day ₹2.75 cr batata hai — chhota tracker variance, yahan BH series primary hai. Weekend ka flat-positive trend weekdays me hold nahi hua — India me film ab niche run ki taraf hai.
Day-5 final (Tue 27 Oct, Bollywood Hungama): ₹0.41 cr net — Day-4 se +10.81% ka Tuesday bounce; 5-day total ₹3.29 cr net. TrackTollywood ki tracked gross Day-5 ke liye ₹47.58 lakh (+15.6%, 1,269 shows, 13.9% occupancy) aur 5-day tracked gross ₹4.12 cr hai — net aur tracked gross alag basis hain, yahan BH series primary hai. Trade estimate (BollyBourse) Day-5 ₹0.43 cr / 5-day ₹3.42 cr batata hai — chhota tracker variance. Monday ke crash ke baad Tuesday ka bounce achha sanket hai, par base itna chhota hai ki India me film ki race ab lagbhag khatam hai.
Day-6 (Wed 28 Oct — live): TrackTollywood ki live tracked gross dopahar 3:03 baje tak ₹21.02 lakh (777 shows, 7.3% occupancy) — ye gross basis hai, net series se alag; total tracked gross ₹4.33 cr.
US: Thursday previews $3.5M (Deadline); opening weekend projection $20–30M; global opening projection $45–55M (76 markets, Variety).
Budget context: ~$40M budget par break-even ~$80–100M worldwide — modest opening bhi film ko doobne nahi degi, par “hit” kehne ke liye legs chahiye hongi.

Kiske Liye Hai Ye Film

Horror fans: Body-horror aur slow-burn dread pasand hai to ye saal ki sabse interesting Hollywood releases me se ek hai.
DC/comic-book fans: Villain-origin stories (Joker pasand thi to) — par ye action film nahi hai, ye tragedy hai. Expectations set karke jao.
Hindi-belt viewers: Hindi dubbed version theatres me available hai — par dhyan rahe, ye ‘A’ certificate film hai, family entertainer nahi.
Bachchon ke saath jaane wale: Bilkul nahi — R-rated/A-certified: strong bloody violence, gore, language, nudity.
Mass masala chahne wale: Thoda ruk jao — Day-1 WOM aur weekend figures dekhkar decide karna behtar hoga.

❓ Aksar Puche Jaane Wale Sawal

Clayface hit hai ya flop?

India me opening kamzor rahi — Day-1 final ₹0.75 crore net (Sacnilk; English ₹0.65 cr, Hindi ₹0.10 cr), 1,898 shows par 36,904 tickets. US me Thursday previews $3.5M aaye hain aur opening weekend $20–30M project ho raha hai (Deadline/Variety). $40M budget par break-even ke liye ~$80–100M worldwide chahiye — audience ka 95% Popcornmeter achha sign hai, aur Day-2 advance (₹85.45 lakh gross) Day-1 se behtar hai, par India me film ko hit kehna abhi mushkil hai. Weekend final: Day-3 ₹0.89 cr net, 3-day ₹2.51 cr net (Bollywood Hungama) — flat-positive trend, koi breakout nahi. Day-4 (Mon) par ₹0.37 cr net (−58.43%, BH) ke saath 4-day total ₹2.88 cr net hua — weekday drop expected pattern hai, par base itna chhota hai ki India me film ki race ab lagbhag khatam hai. Day-5 (Tue) par ₹0.41 cr net (+10.81%, BH) ke saath 5-day total ₹3.29 cr net hua — Tuesday ka bounce achha sanket hai, par scale abhi bhi niche hai.

Clayface ki kahani kya hai?

Matt Hagen (Tom Rhys Harries) ek struggling Hollywood actor hai jiski career aur chehra — dono tootne ke kagar par hain. Ek desperate experimental treatment use aisi taakat deta hai ki wo apne jism ko mitti (clay) ki tarah dhaal kar kisi ka bhi roop le sakta hai. Par ye taakat use andar se khaane lagti hai — aur wo DC ke Batman villain Clayface me badal jaata hai. Ye superhero action se zyada ek body-horror tragedy hai. (Sirf premise — spoiler nahi.)

Kya Clayface Hindi me available hai?

Haan — film India me English ke saath Hindi dubbed version me bhi release hui hai. Warner Bros. India ne July me official announce kiya tha: 'only in cinemas October 23 in English & Hindi'. Sacnilk ke Day-1 live data me Hindi ke 308 shows tracked the (₹4 lakh net). Tamil/Telugu dub ki koi confirmation nahi hai — trackers sirf English + Hindi list karte hain.

Clayface me end credits scene hai?

Is sawaal par Google par kaafi search hai, par release-day tak kisi reputable source ne end credits scene ko confirm ya describe nahi kiya tha. Theatre me rukkar dekhna safe rahega — DC Studios ki film hai, to chance hai. Confirm hote hi ye page update karenge.

Clayface dekhne layak hai? Reviews kaise hain?

Early verdict: haan, agar tum horror pasand karte ho. RT par ~76% Certified Fresh hai aur audience 95% par hai — matlab dekhne walon ko critics se zyada pasand aa rahi hai. Indian critics bhi positive hain (IE 3.5/5, Mathrubhumi 4/5). Par ye typical superhero dhamaka nahi hai — R-rated body-horror hai, slow-burn tragedy. Mass masala chahne walon ko shayad 'slow' lage.

Clayface OTT par kab aayegi?

Abhi koi official OTT date announce nahi hui hai. Film DC Studios/Warner Bros. ki hai, to theatrical window ke baad unke streaming platform par aane ki ummeed hai — par India me kaunsa platform aur kab, ye confirm nahi hai. Date aate hi ye page update hoga.

Film kitni lambi hai aur certificate kya hai?

Film 1 ghante 48 minute (108 min) lambi hai. India me CBFC ne ise 'A' certificate diya hai (19 Oct ko pass) — 24 seconds ke nudity/horror shots cut kiye gaye aur anti-alcohol/drug messages jode gaye. Bachchon ke saath jaane ka plan bilkul mat banao.

Clayface ka budget kitna hai?

Lagbhag $40 million (kai outlets ke mutabik; kuch $44M bhi kehte hain). Break-even ke liye worldwide ~$80–100M chahiye. Is scale par ye DC ki sabse sasti theatrical films me se ek hai — isliye modest opening bhi ise doobne nahi degi.

English • Sci-Fi Drama • 23 October 2026

★ 4.5/10 Full Review

Ek khoobsurat khayal jo screen par itna meetha ho gaya ki uska wazan kho gaya. Jenna Ortega ki Klara me jaan hai, par Taika Waititi ka adaptation Ishiguro ke novel ki gehraai ko whimsy se replace kar deta hai — isi liye RT par sirf ~24% critics iske saath hain aur US opening sirf $725,000 rahi. India me film English me hi aayi hai, Hindi dub ke bina. Jo log slow, bhavuk sci-fi pasand karte hain, unhe kuch lamhe milenge; baaki logon ko ye 'twee' lagegi. Final rating 4.5/10.
