Christmas Movies That Will Make You Sleep With The Lights On (Not Because They’re Scary—Because They Know Too Much)

Entertainmententertainment

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 27: Christmas films are supposed to be warm. Comforting. Predictable in the way a well-worn sweater is predictable. Yet somehow, year after year, these films crawl into our cultural subconscious, rearrange our emotional furniture, and leave us staring at the ceiling at 2 a.m., wondering why nostalgia feels suspiciously like existential dread. These are not horror films.They’re worse.They smile while they haunt you. What follows is not a list. It’s an autopsy of Christmas cinema—the kind that pretends to be wholesome while quietly interrogating loneliness, capitalism, love, childhood expectations, and the terrifying pressure to be happy…

Mission Santa: When India’s Animation Industry Decides Christmas Is Serious Business

Entertainmententertainment

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 25: Not every Christmas release arrives with tinsel and nostalgia. Some come carrying ambition, industry anxiety, and the quiet pressure of representation. Mission Santa: Yoyo To The Rescue is one such film — an Indian animated feature that doesn’t just want to entertain children for 90 minutes, but wants to make a point: Indian animation deserves a theatrical seat at the global holiday table. Let’s start with the obvious irony. Christmas, traditionally dominated by Hollywood animation juggernauts, is now hosting an Indian animated Santa who doesn’t look apologetic about existing. Mission Santa arrives with a nationwide…

Champion: When A Sports Film Tries To Win With Heart Before It Wins The Scoreboard

Entertainmententertainment

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 25: Some sports films arrive with chest-thumping bravado, slow-motion victories, and background scores that practically instruct you when to feel inspired. Champion does something slightly more dangerous — it walks into the arena quietly, carrying emotional baggage instead of trophies, and hopes the audience notices the weight before the finish line. At its core, Champion is a Telugu-language sports drama starring Roshan Meka and Anaswara Rajan, and on paper, it sounds comfortingly familiar: an underdog athlete, personal setbacks, discipline, sacrifice, and the long, unforgiving road to self-belief. But familiarity, when paired with sincerity, can still feel…

Vande Bharat Via USA: When A Gujarati Film Packs Its Bags, Its Identity, And A Very Oddly Familiar Dream

Entertainmententertainment

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 25: Some films announce themselves loudly. Others arrive carrying suitcases full of subtext. Vande Bharat Via USA belongs firmly to the latter category — a Gujarati-language film that doesn’t just travel geographically, but emotionally, culturally, and politically, all while pretending it’s “just entertainment.” At face value, Vande Bharat Via USA positions itself as a diaspora drama — the kind Indian cinema has returned to repeatedly whenever identity starts feeling complicated. The title alone is telling. It doesn’t whisper nostalgia; it waves a flag, boards a flight, and invites you to question what exactly gets carried across…

Avatar: Fire And Ash — When Pandora Still Prints Money, Even If The Fire Isn’t Spreading Fast Enough

Entertainmententertainment

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 25: Some films arrive like cultural events. Others arrive like reminders. Avatar: Fire And Ash is both. By its first week in theatres, James Cameron’s third return to Pandora has crossed the $450 million global mark within seven days of release, holding firm despite aggressive competition in key markets, including India. That number alone would be a victory lap for most franchises. For Avatar, it’s merely… expected. And therein lies the paradox. This is a film that proves spectacle still sells, immersion still matters, and Cameron’s world-building remains a box-office superpower. Yet it also exposes a…

Tu Mera Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri: A Love Story That Wants To Feel Eternal—And Sometimes Tries Too Hard To Prove It

Entertainmententertainment

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 25: There’s something audacious about naming a film Tu Mera Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri. It’s not just a title; it’s a declaration. A looping promise. A romantic mantra that sounds beautiful until you repeat it enough times to realise it’s also slightly suffocating. Which, incidentally, sums up the film rather well. This is a modern Hindi romantic drama that wants to believe—almost desperately—that love can still be all-consuming without being questioned, ironised, or dissected. In an era where romance on screen often arrives with disclaimers, trauma, or cynicism, this film chooses sincerity. Whether that…
