New movies released in Navi Mumbai
Jhamela

Jhamela is a movie directed by Pawa Sawant who has also provided music for the film.
Jhamela is a groundbreaking concept in the world of modern entertainment. It takes you on a musical journey with breathtakingly refreshing dashes of folk music which is the highlight of the movie. It is a heart touching story of a simple and innocent rural youngster who is a talented folk artist trying to make it big in the modern urban world. The movie is conceptualized by Pawa who incidentally happens to be the producer, director, actor and last but not the least the music composer of this movie. It’s a sincere heartfelt attempt to shine light on the forgotten world of folk music. The story has autobiographical shades of Pawas own childhood experiences and that gives the movie a realistic touch.

Nil Battey Sannata

Nil Battey Sannata is a Hindi film directed by Ashwini Iyer Tiwari with Swara Bhaskar in the lead along with Ratna Pathak, Pankaj Tripathi and Ria. The film is produced by Anand L. Rai and Ajay Rai - Alan McAlex under Colour Yellow and JAR Pictures. The film has been backed by Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan.
Nil Battey Sannata, starring Swara Bhaskar and Ratna Pathak, is a story about the relationship of a mother and a daughter and their struggles in life. We see Swara Bhaskar as a struggling mother who is trying very hard to raise her child. The girl is very notorious and outspoken and uninterested in studying. She is very bad in mathematics and fails in her 9th standard. When Swara confronts her, she says that even if she goes in 10th and passes, there is nothing good happening as Swara won’t be able to afford her fees. Swara loses hope and speaks to Ratna Pathak, who advises her to work harder and study herself (Swara also hasn’t finished her 10th standard). How the mother and daughter duo battle life, study, clear the 10th standard exam and much more forms the rest of the film.
Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, wife of Dangal director Nitesh Tiwary, makes her direction debut with this film. Visually, the film seems quite appealing and the music seems upto the mark.

The film stars Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Nick Frost and Sam Claflin reprising their roles, who are joined by Emily Blunt, Rob Brydon and Jessica Chastain.

Long before the evil Queen Ravenna (Charlize Theron) was thought vanquished by Snow White’s blade, she watched silently as her sister, Freya (Emily Blunt), suffered a heartbreaking betrayal and fled their kingdom. With Freya’s ability to freeze any enemy, the young ice queen has spent decades in a remote wintry palace raising a legion of deadly huntsmen—including Eric (Chris Hemsworth) and warrior Sara (Jessica Chastain)—only to find that her prized two defied her one demand: Forever harden your hearts to love. When Freya learns of her sister’s demise, she summons her remaining soldiers to bring the Magic Mirror home to the only sorceress left who can harness its power. But once she discovers Ravenna can be resurrected from its golden depths, the wicked sisters threaten this enchanted land with twice the darkest force it’s ever seen. Now, their amassing army shall prove undefeatable…unless the banished huntsmen who broke their queen’s cardinal rule can fight their way back to one another.
