Poignant and funny by turns, this play on mistaken identity takes place in rural India in 2001. Two brides (Pratibha Ranta and Nitanshi Goel, both revelatory) accidentally get off their train at the wrong stations to meet their respective husbands. In a classic comedy of errors, Deepak (Sparsh Shrivastava) escorts the wrong veiled woman from the overnight train, only realizing his mistake when he gets home, while his actual bride is left to fend for herself in a desolate station. A search for her begins, led by a goofy police officer (Ravi Kishan), but it may be that these newlyweds are not so lost after all. A perfect family movie, with Bollywood legend Aamir Khan on board as a producer

Her cousins would mock Areeb’s “outsider” accent, but according to her mother, this was where she belonged. From her current home in the US, Zuaiter combs the web for images that evoke something of her mother and finds teenager Ahmed Matar and his friends, a parkour team who use the ruins of Gaza’s bombed buildings as obstacle courses, laughing for joy against a background of explosions. She tracks Ahmed down online and the two become friends; meanwhile, he is determined that parkour will be his route out of the prison their shared homeland has become.
