To celebrate Indian Independence Day, Vue will showcase a selection of South Asian films on Thursday, August 15th. Six movies were specifically released for this occasion.

One of the featured films is “Khel Khel Mein,” a Hindi comedy remake of the Italian comedy thriller “Perfect Strangers.”

Another Hindi title premiering at Vue is “Stree 2,” a horror-comedy sequel to the original “Stree” movie released in 2018, and “Vedaa,” a film based on the true story of a young woman confronting and resisting a repressive system.

In addition to Hindi titles, the Tamil-language movie Thangalaan, based on the true events of mine workers in Kolar Gold Fields, Karnataka, will also be showcased. 

Also making its debut is the Telugu-language sci-fi film, “Double iSMART,” which follows an assassin with a dead police officer’s memories transplanted into his brain, forcing him to assist the authorities.

Lastly, the Malayalam film “Nunakuzhi,” a comedy-drama, is the third collaboration between screenwriter KR Krishna Kumar and director Jeethu Joseph, following “12th Man” and “Kooman.” The film depicts the story of a young man entangled in a web of lies and mistaken identity.

Toby Bradon, General Manager at Vue UK & Ireland, said: “At Vue, we pride ourselves on celebrating cinema from across the globe, and we couldn’t be happier to be showing some of the most exciting South Asian films of the year to mark Indian Independence Day. We would encourage film lovers from all cultures to check out these fantastic selections of films.”
