Kesari Chapter 2 – The Saga Continues

The sequel to the successful historical drama ‘Kesari’ arrives with an impressive cast featuring R Madhavan, Akshay Kumar, and Ananya Panday. This second instalment shifts focus to the courtroom, depicting a pivotal moment in India's colonial history through the lens of legal drama.

Kesari Chapter 2’ dramatises the landmark legal battle of Sankaran Nair versus The Crown, a case that challenged the British Empire's official narrative about the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.

Sinners

For horror enthusiasts, ‘Sinners’ offers a compelling blend of vampire mythology and psychological thriller elements. Set against the atmospheric backdrop of the 1930s, the film stars Michael B Jordan in a challenging dual role as estranged twin brothers who return to their hometown only to confront an ancient supernatural threat.

Directed by Ryan Coogler, whose previous works include critically acclaimed films like ‘Creed’ and ‘Black Panther,’ ‘Sinners’ promises more than standard horror fare. The film explores complex themes of guilt, family relationships, and redemption through a narrative rich with slow-building tension and atmospheric dread.

Paddington in Peru

The endearing bear with a passion for marmalade returns to theatres in his newest adventure, ‘Paddington in Peru.’ This installment takes the beloved character from his established London life back to his South American roots in a journey filled with discovery and heart.

The film transports audiences from the familiar urban landscapes of previous installments to the lush, vibrant environments of Peruvian rainforests. This change in setting provides fresh visual experiences while maintaining the warmth and charm that have defined the Paddington franchise.
