Take your sibling out for a movie this Raksha Bandhan

We recommend ‘Stree 2’, ‘Padatik’ or ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’

This Raksha Bandhan, how about trading the standard gifts for a movie outing? If you and your sibling(s) love getting lost in a great story while indulging in some cheesy and caramel popcorn, this could be the perfect way to celebrate the festival. 

Confused about what to watch? Let My Kolkata help you choose:

1. Deadpool & Wolverine: It’s no secret that the MCU has lately been tottering with a string of disappointing releases. However, this film infuses fresh hope, bringing back Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, and channelising his brilliant comedic chemistry with Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool. Some brilliant gags, stellar action and cheer-worthy moments make this a perfect choice for theatres.
2. Stree 2: A sequel to the smash-hit 2018 horror comedy, this film takes viewers back to Chanderi, when the paranormal strikes again in the form of a beheaded creature that abducts women. Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee and Aparshakti Khurana are returning for double the fun and triple the spook, promising this to be just as enthralling a watch as its predecessor.
3. Padatik: After generating a lot of buzz with its teaser, Srijit Mukherji’s Mrinal Sen biopic finally released on I-Day. Tracing the iconic director’s journey from being an idealistic youth struggling behind the camera, to pioneering the New Wave cinema movement alongside Satyajit Ray, this film is sure to excite fans of the legend.
