THE WILD ROBOT: A soul stirring movie, it would appeal to kids and the kids-at-heart alike. A wonderful screenplay, brilliant voice-overs and a superlative display of visualizations, animation and technological mastery put this heartwarming movie as the festive season’s bestest movie to watch with family and friends. The movie tells a humane, touching tale that can pull audiences to the theatre many times over. Simply unmissable.
BINNY AND FAMILY: A coming of age narrative of a London bred teenager who spurned by her crush in high school finds comfort in her grandfather’s company who is a widower and a retired professor in Bihar and quite unaccustomed to the ways of the Gen-Z NRI generation. This role is played by Pankaj Kapur to the hilt and he bridges the generation gap that young adults have with their parents. The movie is predictable and tries your senses in parts but provides wholesome entertainment and even tears you up at times. This movie is not a comedy commenting on the vagaries of NRI life in the West. For that I recommend Bend It Like Beckham which got released a couple of decades back. Binny and her mother are major eye-candy and are terrific finds by Ekta Kapoor. This movie is good as a one-time watch.
