Kesari

This movie is based on the Battle of Saragarhi, one of the lesser known battles of British India between 21 Sikh soldiers defending a fort against 10000 Afghans, the Indian version of the battle of Thermopylae. This movie got released just when I got enough of the series on the same topic on Netflix because it was too long. Notwithstanding the fact that the whole movie is engaging, the last 45 minutes stand out because of their brilliant picturization of the battle. Go watch it.

Captain Marvel

This is a back story and introduction to the character who receives Fury's SOS page at the end of Infinity Wars when Thanos turns most of creation to dust with a snap of his fingers. The mischievous Brie Larson fits perfectly into character as young Captain Carol Danvers and a younger Nick Fury and an even younger Coulson portrayed by Samuel Jackson and Clark Gregg. Marvel never disappoints. So you have to watch how Carol Danvers becomes Captain Marvel and saves the earth from a Kree attack and lays the foundation for the big encounter in Avengers : End Game. Then there is the cat; watch out for the cat!
