Nine films to watch in August
从《极寒之城》、《黑暗塔》到《西班牙之旅》,谁说八月要闹片荒?
1. Mubarakan
A feel-good Bollywood musical comedy, Mubarakanflaunts its delightfully ridiculous premise with pride: twin brothers Karan and Charan Singh (both played by Arjun Kapoor) are in love with each other's betrothed. Call it a love square instead of a love triangle? The film addresses serious issues with a light touch, including the survival of Indian identity outside of India, the way people in India view ex-pats – Karan was raised in London while Charan grew up in Punjab – and the problems arranged marriages can present. A true product of Bollywood, this Hindi-language comedy is an epic 156 minutes long and features music by South Asian superstars Amaal Mallik, Gourov Roshin and Rishi Rich. Released in the US, UK, India and Australia on 28 July.
