Movies [venue near you]

If you haven’t been to the big screen in a while, this weekend is a great time to catch some new releases in theatres. For those in the mood for a good scare, ‘Stree 2’ takes you back to the eerie town of Chanderi, where women are vanishing once again, this time at the hands of a creepy headless figure. It’s up to Bicky and his gang to figure out what’s going on and save their loved ones. If a dark comedy is more your style, ‘Khel Khel Mein’ unravels the surprising secrets behind friendships and marriages, where one simple game exposes the truth that everyone’s been hiding behind fake facades. And for those who enjoy a thought-provoking drama, ‘It Ends With Us’, based on the Colleen Hoover novel, follows Lily as she tries to build a new life after a difficult childhood, only to discover unsettling parallels between her new relationship and the troubled dynamics she witnessed growing up.
