Lion

The gripping story of a kid from Khandwa in India who gets lost and finally gets adopted by a couple from Hobart in Tasmania and the trials and travails he has to face enroute. The boy finally returns to India in search of his birth mother. This is an emotional drama which is a good watch with Sunny Pawar's cuteness overtaken only by his acting skills well supported by Dev Patel, Kidman, Wenham and Mara with due recognition to Priyanka Bose, who plays the birth mother and her makeup team! Go book your tix.

Hidden Figures

This is the story of three exceptional African American women who worked as mathematical computers for NASA in the 1960s and were instrumental in John Glenn's  orbital journey in space that gave a boost to the American space program. Taraji Henson, Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monae are spot on in their roles of the women who braved the colour discrimination which plagued the world at that point in time to reach out to the sky, ably supported by Costner, Dunst and Parsons. This is one you do not want to miss, so go book your tix. 

John Wick 2

Though the legendary assassin John Wick wants to lead a retired civilian life, providence and a few other gangsters have a different plan for him. He had to take to the gun in the first part because they took his car and killed his dog. In this one he is called upon to repay an old debt and Keanu Reeves is back in action as Wick. With the action choreography as raw as it can get, this adrenaline booster is a must watch for action movie patrons.
