Snow White
Disney’s Snow White returns in a live-action remake of the 1937 animated classic, itself inspired by the Brothers Grimm’s 1812 fairy tale. The film stars Rachel Zegler as Snow White and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, with Andrew Burnap in a new role created for this version.
Directed by Marc Webb (500 Days of Summer, The Amazing Spider-Man), this newest reimagining follows Snow White as she is forced into the forest when her stepmother seizes the kingdom. With help from seven dwarfs (created by CGI), she fights to reclaim her rightful place. The film gives its heroine more depth, showing her determination to become the leader her father always believed she could be.
Expect a visually stunning experience with dazzling new musical numbers and plenty of charming animated animals. This reimagination of Snow White is Disney’s latest effort to bring its classic animated films to life for a new generation. Don’t miss it on the big screen!
Locked
Locked is a tense action thriller starring Anthony Hopkins and Bill Skarsgård. A remake of the Argentinian film 4X4 (2019), the film follows Eddie (Skarsgård), a thief who breaks into a luxury SUV, only to realise he’s walked into a deadly trap. The vehicle’s owner, William (Hopkins), is a vigilante with his own twisted sense of justice. As the hours pass and the walls close in, Eddie must outwit his captor or face a fate worse than prison.
Directed by David Yarovesky and written by Michael Arlen Ross, the film also features Ashley Cartwright, Michael Eklund, and Navid Charkhi. Produced by Evil Dead mastermind Sam Raimi, Locked delivers high-stakes tension with two powerhouse actors. Catch it in theatres for a thrill you won’t forget.
Pintu Ki Pappi
In this quirky Hindi romantic comedy, Pintu discovers a bizarre problem—every woman he kisses ends up marrying someone else. What starts as an unfortunate streak soon turns into a business opportunity when he and his uncle find a way to profit from his unusual “gift.” But when love enters the picture, things get complicated.
Directed by Shiv Hare, Pintu Ki Pappi stars Shushant, Jaanyaa Joshi, and Vidhii in lead roles, along with veteran actors Murli Sharma and Vijay Raaz. Packed with humour, romance, and unexpected twists, this film promises plenty of laughs. Watch it in theatres for a fun-filled ride!
Back in Theatres This Week
Theatres are waiting for you with these rereleases. Pick your favourite and enjoy the show!
The Karate Kid (1984)
The Karate Kid (1984)—the classic that introduced Ralph Macchio (Daniel LaRusso) and Pat Morita (Mr. Miyagi), a duo that became legendary—is back in theatres more than four decades after its original release. Directed by John G. Avildsen and written by Robert Mark Kamen, the film follows Daniel, a bullied teenager who learns karate—not just to fight back, but to build confidence and discipline. It’s an underdog story about mentorship and perseverance, one that has influenced countless films and shows over the years. It has also inspired generations of filmmakers, actors, and storytellers. No wonder Mr. Miyagi’s unique training methods became a pop culture staple, including the famous “wax on, wax off” routine. The film helped bring martial arts into Hollywood, paving the way for future action stars. Even today, its impact lives on through the hit series Cobra Kai (2018–2025). Don’t miss the chance to experience this ultimate classic on the big screen!
Lamhe (1991)
One of Yash Chopra’s most unique love stories, Lamhe was ahead of its time. Anil Kapoor and Sridevi deliver unforgettable performances in this tale of love, loss, and destiny. What makes it a must-watch on the big screen is the film’s soulful music, stunning visuals, and heartfelt emotions; songs like Meri Bindiya and Kabhi Main Kahoon remain timeless. Experiencing these melodies in theatres brings its magic to life once again.
Ghatak (1996)
Sunny Deol is at his prime in this film, packed with powerful dialogues and a gripping story. Ghatak is a hard-hitting, action-packed drama directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. Unfiltered, emotional, and driven by powerhouse performances, the film is a big-screen spectacle. Back on the big screen, the film’s intensity and emotion remind us why it became a cult favourite.
Yaariyan (2014)
A film that defined college life for a generation. Directed by Divya Khosla Kumar, Yaariyan is packed with friendship, romance, and music that still gets people dancing. “Sunny Sunny” and “ABCD” sound even better in a theatre. It will be a fun, nostalgic trip to the theatres for anyone who loved it the first time.
Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire (2023)
If you missed Salaar upon its initial release, now’s your chance to see what had audiences buzzing.
