This week, movie lovers are in for a treat with a lineup that promises something for everyone. While Stree 2 continues its exceptional run at the box office, and Khel Khel Mein and Vedaa are winning hearts nationwide, Hollywood enters the spotlight with a thrilling array of releases. There’s no shortage of excitement, from Zoë Kravitz’s psychological thriller Blink Twice to the highly anticipated return of the Xenomorphs in Alien: Romulus. Families can dive into the magical world of Harold and the Purple Crayon and don’t miss Fakt Purusho Maate, a Gujarati gem featuring Amitabh Bachchan that deftly balances comedy and social commentary. Whether you’re looking for chills, laughs, or heartfelt storytelling, this week’s offerings are set to make your cinematic experience unforgettable. Blink Twice Step into the gripping world of psychological thriller, Blink Twice, Zoë Kravitz’s fearless directorial debut that blends pulse-pounding suspense with biting social satire. When tech mogul Slater King (Channing Tatum) whisks cocktail waitress Frida (Naomi Ackie) away to his private island, it feels like a dream come true. But as strange and unsettling events unfold, paradise quickly becomes a nightmare. Frida must unravel the island’s dark secrets before it’s too late. Featuring a star-studded cast including Simon Rex, Alia Shawkat, and Christian Slater, Blink Twice is more than just a thriller—it’s a razor-sharp dissection of power, privilege, and the perilous games people play. Kravitz’s daring vision combines high-stakes tension with sly humour, delivering a film that’s as thought-provoking as it is exhilarating. As the story twists and turns, you’ll find yourself questioning what’s real, all while being thoroughly entertained. Alien: Romulus The Xenomorphs are finally back in theatres for the first time since 2017, seven years after Alien: Covenant, with Alien: Romulus. This seventh instalment in the legendary sci-fi horror franchise bridges the gap between Ridley Scott’s 1979 original and James Cameron’s explosive 1986 sequel, Aliens. Directed by Fede Álvarez and produced by Scott, Alien: Romulus plunges a group of young space colonists—played by Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, and Archie Renaux—into a nightmare as they stumble upon a derelict space station in the darkest reaches of the galaxy. What they discover is the stuff of legend: Xenomorphs, the deadliest creatures in the universe, lying in wait. With stunning production design by Naaman Marshall, Alien: Romulus captures the gritty, lived-in feel of the original films and introduces fresh terrors that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats. The film delves deep into themes of isolation, fear, and the dangers of unchecked corporate greed, making it a worthy successor in the franchise. It’s another great film to transport you back as if you are watching an Aliens movie for the first time. Releasing in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, Alien: Romulus is set to reawaken the terror that made Alien an enduring classic. Harold and the Purple Crayon Some stories never lose their charm, and Harold and the Purple Crayon is among them. The beloved tale makes its colourful leap from page to screen, ready to enchant a new generation. The film, a delightful blend of animation and live-action, is set to charm audiences of all ages. Directed by Carlos Saldanha, known for his work on family favourites like Ice Age and Rio, this film marks the first-ever adaptation of Crockett Johnson’s beloved 1955 children’s book. In this whimsical adventure, we follow the grown-up Harold, played by Zachary Levi, who discovers that his magical purple crayon can bring anything he draws to life—even outside the pages of his book! But as Harold enters the real world, he learns that his drawings can cause more mischief than he bargained for. Alongside a star-studded cast, including Lil Rel Howery, Jemaine Clement, and Zooey Deschanel, Harold must navigate the challenges that come with such a powerful tool, all while trying to save both his imaginative world and the real one from chaos. With a screenplay by David Guion and Michael Handelman, this lively adaptation is a heartwarming and humorous celebration of the power of creativity and imagination. Harold and the Purple Crayon promises to be a joyous and uplifting journey for the whole family, filled with laughter and inspiration. Fakt Purusho Maate (Gujarati) Fakt Purusho Maate is poised to be a must-watch family entertainer this week, bringing Amitabh Bachchan back to the big screen in a pivotal role as God. This sequel to the 2022 hit Fakt Mahilao Maate promises to entertain and spark conversations on gender equality and intergenerational conflicts. Directed by Jay Bodas and Parth Trivedi, the film weaves together humour and depth as it explores the sacred 16 days of Shraadh (Kaagvas) in a vibrant Gujarati setting. The story follows Purshottam, portrayed by Darshan Jariwala, who returns from the afterlife to meddle in his grandson Brijesh’s (Yash Soni) love life. As Purshottam’s old-fashioned ideals clash with the modern values of Brijesh and his fiancée, played by Esha Kansara, comedic chaos ensues. The film cleverly uses magical realism to create a narrative that challenges traditional patriarchal views while embracing the complexities of contemporary relationships. With its mix of light-hearted comedy and profound themes, Fakt Purusho Maate has already generated a lot of buzz in the industry. Bachchan’s performance as God adds a layer of gravitas to this delightful exploration of the conflicts between tradition and modernity. PVR INOX Timeless Hits Presents ‘Maine Pyaar Kiya’ Rediscover the magic of Bollywood’s golden era with the re-release of timeless classic—Maine Pyaar Kiya (1989), marking the movie’s 35th anniversary. As part of our PVR INOX Timeless Hits initiative, these beloved films are returning to the big screen across 35 locations nationwide, offering you the chance to immerse yourself once again in their captivating romance, drama, and unforgettable music.
