New movies released in Navi Mumbai
By Dinesh Kamath
Fan

Fan is a 2016 Indian thriller film directed by Maneesh Sharma and featuring Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role. The film is produced by Aditya Chopra under the banner of Yash Raj Films. The soundtrack album and original score are composed by both Vishal–Shekhar and Andrea Guerra.
The film has Shah Rukh Khan as Gaurav / Aryan Khanna, Waluscha de Sousa, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Deepika Amin as Gaurav's mother, Yogendra Tiku as Gaurav's father and Sayani Gupta.
The music for Fan is composed by Vishal-Shekhar with lyrics written by Varun Grover. The film has songs like "Jabra Fan (Hindi)", "Ghaint Fan (Punjabi)", "Jabardast Fan (Bhojpuri)", "Jabro Fan (Gujarati)", "Jabraa Fan (Marathi)", "Byapok Fan (Bengali)", "Takkara Fan (Tamil)", "Jabar Fan (Odia)" and "Fan Theme (Instrumental)".
The movie has an interesting plot. Fan has an unusual storyline, where Khan will be seen in double role. It is a story about a 25-year-old fan (Gaurav) and a 45-year-old superstar (Aryan Khanna). Aryan Khanna is a star who will have huge fan following. As per the reports, "Fan is not just about the love of the fan for his favourite superstar. In the film, eventually Gaurav and Aryan are pitted against each other and it's the superstar who plays the nemesis to the fan". The movie tries to preach that in a world of labels, it's easy to forget who made sportsmen, pop singers and matinee idols into stars, superstars and megastars - it's the fans. Every fan has their own personal relationship with their hero - it's almost a love story. Fan is the story of Gaurav (Shah Rukh Khan) a young man, 20 something, whose world revolves around the mega movie star Aryan Khanna (Shah Rukh Khan) or 'God' (as he refers to him). From the by lanes of Delhi, young Gaurav embarks on a journey to the city of dreams - Mumbai, in order to wish his 'God' on his birthday. After all, he is Aryan's biggest 'FAN' and even has a striking resemblance to him! How difficult could it be for the world biggest fan to get an audience with the world's biggest star. When things don't go according to plan, Gaurav's love and passion for his 'God' turns in to a dangerous obsession that crosses the fine line. In an edge of the seat thriller, Fan will peel away at both Gaurav and Aryan's personalities and characters as the two men discover people within themselves that even they didn't know existed, and we're left wondering who to sympathize with and whom to root for - can we really pick a side? After all, superstars are also human beings, but, each one of us is also a 'Fan'.

Before I Wake

Before I Wake is an American supernatural horror film directed by Mike Flanagan, which he co-wrote with Jeff Howard. The film stars Kate Bosworth, Thomas Jane, Jacob Tremblay, Annabeth Gish and Dash Mihok.
Jessie (Kate Bosworth) and Mark (Thomas Jane) adopt a new foster child, Cody (Jacob Tremblay) after their son Sean dies. They soon find out that Cody's dreams become reality, but his nightmares are deadly. Jessie and Mark must figure out what to do before one of his nightmares kills.

To put in other words, Jessie (Kate Bosworth) and Mark (Thomas Jane) decide to take in a sweet and loving 8-year-old boy, Cody. Unbeknownst to them, Cody is terrified of falling asleep. At first, they assume his previous unstable homes caused his aversion to sleep, but soon discover why: Cody's dreams manifest in reality as he sleeps. In one moment they experience the incredible wonder of Cody's imagination, and in the next, the horrific nature of his night terrors. To save their new family, Jessie and Mark embark on a dangerous hunt to uncover the truth behind Cody's nightmares.
