Christmas films Disney

Jingle bells day is finally here. The festive vibe was already blowing like glare and people were planning to make their holiday season worth remembering.

From planning themes for house parties to preparing delicious foods, Christmas is a big deal in every household as it brings in light and exuberance. While some like spending their day hanging out with kins and friends, others prefer celebrating the festival gorging on plum cakes and binge-watching Christmas films.

We have collated a list of films you can watch during this holiday season on Disney+Hotstar. Have a look.

Le pupille

The film combines Dickensian, ineffably Italian, and that fair tone acceptable for all audiences but not childish, lined up with the legit and most classic exponents of the Disney universe. It is endearing), but never syrupy.

Le pupille is a lovely Christmas tale that is based on a letter that the Italian author Elsa Morante wrote to a friend. In less than 40 minutes, the director Alice Rohrwacher offers us a poignant, humorous, and insightful tale about that boarding school, its unyielding mother superior (Alba Rohrwacher, most just), and the preparations for her living nativity scene in order to raise money for the convent during that challenging time.

Weekend family

Fred, the protagonist of Weekend Family, an osteopath, is going to find out, is having too many women in his life his nightmare or his fantasy. Are there ex-wife stereotypes at work here?

The dubbing is passable, but the show works best with the original French and quick-fire subtitles. If you chose the dubbed version, it’s still entertaining even though it’s not quite as humorous. Parents and tweens who want to binge on a Parisian family comedy won’t be let down.

Noelle

Although Noelle is entertaining to watch, it relies nearly entirely on the abundance of charm that Anna Kendrick provides to the role.

Turn on the Christmas tree lights, have some hot cocoa, grab a blanket, and watch this endearing holiday movie

Miracle on 34th Street

Miracle on 34th Street helmed by George Seaton. The drama-comedy is about the commercialization of Christmas and Santa Claus (Kris Kringle).

Moviegoers attending a late-night screening of “Pushpa 2” at a multiplex in Nagpur, Maharashtra, found themselves in the midst of a real-life action scene when police stormed the cinema hall to apprehend a man linked to serious criminal activities.

The arrest of Vishal Meshram occurred shortly after midnight on Thursday and left the audience in shock, although police reassured them that they could continue watching the film as they took the suspect into custody.

Vishal Meshram had been evading law enforcement for 10 months and was reportedly traced due to authorities discovering his interest in the newly released film, as stated by an official from the Pachpaoli police station. Meshram’s criminal record includes 27 cases, with charges for two murders and drug trafficking. He has a history of violent behavior, having been known to assault police officers in the past.

Law enforcement agencies had been diligently pursuing him using cyber surveillance techniques and monitoring his movements in a newly acquired sports utility vehicle (SUV). Upon confirming his location on Thursday, police deflated the tires of his vehicle parked outside the cinema to hinder any escape attempts.

As the film reached its climax, Meshram was fully engrossed when police entered the hall, quickly surrounding him and executing the arrest without giving him a chance to resist. He is currently being held in the Nagpur Central Jail and is set to be transferred to a facility in Nashik soon.

“Pushpa 2: The Rule,” starring Allu Arjun, is the sequel to the 2021 Telugu hit “Pushpa: The Rise” and was released on December 5 in various dubbed versions, including Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Bengali, and Malayalam.
