Even as Ranbir Kapoor-Shraddha Kapoor’s Holi release Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar continues to fare well at the box office, four new films — three new English and one Bengali — arrived in theatres today. Here’s a look at the films that released in cinemas this Friday.
65 (English)
Directed by: Scott Beck and Bryan Woods
Cast: Adam Driver, Ariana Greenblatt and Chloe Coleman
Commander Mills (Adam Driver) agrees to go on a space exploratory mission in exchange for money for his terminally-ill daughter Nevine’s (Chloe Coleman) treatment. During the voyage, the spaceship carrying cryogenically-frozen passengers accidentally hits an asteroid and crashes on a strange planet. A young girl named Koa (Ariana Greenblatt) is the only survivor other than Mills. They soon realise that it is not another world after all. They travelled back in time, landing on earth about 65 million years ago when dinosaurs used to roam the planet. Together, they must battle it out in this dangerous terrain in order to survive.
Tár (English)
Directed by: Todd Field
Cast: Cate Blanchett, Nina Hoss, Noémie Merlant and Sophie Kauer
Lydia Tár (Cate Blanchett), the first female chief conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic, is on the cusp of creating history by orchestrating the live recording of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 5. Lydia is at the top of her game, working her way up in a male-dominated industry. Francesca (Noémie Merlant), her personal assistant, and Sharon (Nina Hoss), her wife and concertmaster, are Lydia’s pillars of support. However, her moment of glory is marred in controversy as dirty secrets from her past crop up, jeopardising her career.
