Oozing with romance, drama, heroism, friendship, intrigue, thrill and comedy, this fictional universe of blockbusters awaits. Witness a fabulously, filmy experience within the comfort of your home.

Finding Fanny

Our movie matinee list begins with the satirical road comedy flick, Finding Fanny. This quirky, eccentric film centres around Ferdie Pinto, an elderly postman who decides to search for his long-lost love, Stephanie, after receiving a surprising letter at midnight. With the help of his friends Angie, a young widow, Rosie (Angie’s mother-in-law) and Savio (Angie’s ex), Ferdie embarks on a road-trip through picturesque Goa to locate his beloved Fanny. Director, Homi Adajania, manages to pique curiosity and create intrigue for 105-minutes. The characters are real and raw, especially the bumbling yet endearing protagonist played by veteran actor, Nasiruddin Shah. The script is witty and the cinematography is alluring. Enjoy Goa’s lush, green landscapes and charming architecture. This film is best enjoyed with family by your side and of course, a big tub of popcorn in hand.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

Nothing says “road-tripping” quite like Zoya Akhtar’s romantic drama, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. Regarded as one of the best road-trip movies in Bollywood, this soulful film ticks all the right boxes of a satisfying binge. The plot focuses on three friends, Kabir, Imran and Arjun, who vacation in Spain prior to Kabir's imminent marriage. The trip turns out to be a cathartic experience, where the characters mend fences, heal wounds, fall in love with life, and also, combat their worst fears. From Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy’s melodious original score, to the cast’s stellar performances, we’d recommend this 153-minute flick as a tribute to travel. Farhan Akhtar, Hritik Roshan, Abhay Deol and Katrina Kaif do justice to this coming-of-age story. Enjoy a spicy, Indo-Spanish cultural fiesta!

Who can resist a story of self-discovery? Now, this is a fun-loving film that will remind you to persevere no matter what life throws your way.
