Some movies are more than couple of hours spent in a cinema hall; The Greatest Showman grants you leave with a smile but its metaphysical approach to life will linger in your soul for long time. Hugh Jackman living P.T. Barnum is worth every single penny & I’m ready to go bankrupt over watching him as many times as I can.

If you’re a 90s kid, this might be a good chance to to relive your childhood memories. The board game has turned into a video game but the fun quotient remains intact. Kids will love it, but as I said there are few jokes only for grown ups.

An event for Salman Khan fans, Tiger Zinda Hai is surely the most entertaining fare of 2017. Salman Khan is everyone’s Secret Santa this season gifting one enjoyable movie. Thank you, Ali Abbas Zafar!

When we have building up franchises of superheroes; Star Wars stands tall with its head held high roaring its infinite existence since 40 years. A toast to the 8th episode of this magnanimous series and hoping for many more to come. Star Wars fan? You don’t need any push but those who do not watch the short recap videos of all 7 parts available on YouTube and don’t miss this one.

Fukrey Returns is one super-entertaining movie. Retaining the magic of the first part, this easily is one of the best comedies of the year. Tiger also plays an important role in the film so yeh Tiger Zinda Hai jab tak aa jaaye Tiger Zinda Hai.

Firangi is an experiment went miserably wrong for Kapil Sharma. He tries to be what he’s not – I was known that’s what actors do, but that’s not what comedians do. To Kapil Sharma fans: abuse me all you want but even you’ll miss him for what amazing talent he has after watching this film.
-
Kadvi Hawa or the dark wind is from those movies you don’t watch to entertain yourself. Stay away if you’re watching this as your usual movie but watch it for sure if you want to be aware what’s really happening around.
-
Murder On The Orient Express is one memorable attempt of presenting Agatha Christie’s vision to the millennials who probably are unaware of her classic mystery novels. Watch it for a good workout of your brain and some very good performances.
-
Julie 2 is pure gold in the section of ‘Best Trashy Films’. With a baseless storyline, loud melodrama and unintentional humour – this film is a poor man’s The Dirty Picture. Give it a miss without much thinking.

Go for Coco! It’s a colorful treat to eyes, ears, and heart. Those who are not much into such movies, at a point you’ll forget you’re watching an animated movie. A satisfying experience for the soul.
