Asian cinema continues to showcase its dominance, with half of this week’s list filled with titles such as India’s Karuppu and Indonesia’s Tumbal Proyek.

However, it’s the Malaysian titles that make up the majority of this week’s list, which includes Tarung: Unforgiven, Nar’Sata: Sekutu Setan, Konspirasi, and Libang Libu.
