Seven new movies to watch this week in UAE

Published

This week's movie releases offer a mixed-bag for cine-goers. There's drama, comedy, animation, action, fantasy, horror and animation.

Of the seven movies, it will be Tigmanshu Dhulia's "Paan Singh Tomar" that will, most likely, stand out. The movie, which will hit theatres in the UAE a week after its worldwide release, has already won over Indian film critics for its impressive screenplay and lead actor Irrfan Khan's impeccable portrayal of the lanky bandit.

Another must-watch is Lee Tamahor's deeply intense drama "The Devil's Double" that throws light on the life of Saddam Hussein's menacing son. John Doyle's "Main Street" is another remarkable drama that brings together two talented actors - Colin Firth and Orlando Bloom.

We also recommend Tarsem Singh's fun twist to a famed fairtytale "Mirror Mirror", with Julia Roberts in the lead, and Hiromasa Yonebayashi's animated "The Secret world of Arrietty" about the unique friendship of a 14-year-old and his four-inch tall friend.

And for the not-so faint-hearted, there's Eli Craig's scary “Tucker and Dale vs Evil”.

But if there’s one movie we think you must avoid, then it is Nima Nourizadeh’s party project - “Project X”.
