In this historical drama, played by Will Sharpe, we follow a young Mozart (25 years old) as he moves to Vienna in search of artistic independence in the 18th century. Along the way, he crosses paths with Antonio Salieri, a pious and well-established court composer (Paul Bettany). Mozart overcomes his inner demons and the conservative court’s mistrust to achieve enormous success, while Salieri is haunted by his rival’s apparently heavenly gift, which he takes as a personal attack from God. Intertwined in a web of court intrigue, ambition, and a desperate murder confession, their legacies are consumed by a terrible fixation that begins as professional envy and continues for decades. Andhra King Taluka – December 25 (Netflix) As “the biography of a fan”, the touching Telugu drama Andhra King Taluka follows Sagar (Ram Pothineni), an ardent supporter of superstar Surya Kumar (Upendra), affectionately called the “Andhra King” by his legion of dedicated fans. With a throwback setting in a small Godavari village in the early 2000s, the movie follows Surya as his landmark 100th film experiences a severe financial crisis due to a series of disappointing box office receipts. Sagar is a regular young man who has overcome social class boundaries and personal concerns through cinema; Surya follows him in his quest to identify his benefactor after he unexpectedly invests ₹3 crores to rescue the movie. The plot revolves around Sagar’s romantic involvement with Mahalakshmi (Bhagyashri Borse) and his lofty goal of constructing a 70mm theatre in his hamlet. It also examines the deep and mutually beneficial bond between an idol and the admirers who derive personal strength from them. Dramatic spy thriller The Copenhagen Test stars Simu Liu as intelligence analyst Alexander Hale, a first-generation Chinese-American. He learns that someone has hacked into his brain and is transmitting his every thought and action to an anonymous source. Hale finds himself in a precarious situation, constantly monitored by both his secretive agency, which holds him in high suspicion for treason, and the hackers who threaten to take his mind captive. To stay alive and find those responsible, he has to keep up an immaculate “performance” of his everyday life around the clock. The pressure turns every interaction into a risky double-cross, and he starts to lose sight of the boundary between his real and manufactured selves. Cover-Up – December 25 (Netflix) Laura Poitras and Mark Obenhaus’ riveting political documentary Cover-Up follows Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh throughout his remarkable six-decade career. The film follows Hersh as he goes on a mission to expose the CIA’s domestic spying programs, Abu Ghraib’s torture revelations, the Watergate scandal, the My Lai massacre in Vietnam, and more through a combination of exclusive interviews, carefully restored archival footage, and access to Hersh’s personal notes. This documentary reflects on Hersh’s career and examines the complex dynamics of institutional violence and the “cycle of impunity” within the US government. The 88-year-old Hersh is portrayed as a stingy, unyielding watchdog who, in this age of growing secrecy, persists in challenging official narratives. Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat – December 26 (ZEE5 [OTTplay Premium]) Directed by Milap Milan Zaveri, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is a raucous romantic thriller that delves into the murky territory between dangerous obsession and passionate love. A powerful and spoilt young politician named Vikramaditya Bhonsle (Harshvardhan Rane) has an unexpected crush on Bollywood diva Adaa Randhawa (Sonam Bajwa). After Adaa flat-out rejects his approaches, Vikram’s crush turns into a poisonous campaign; he sabotages her professional and personal life through his political connections, convinced that “power” can buy “pyaar“. Adaa, who is determined not to play the victim, issues a public challenge in response to the escalating confrontation, sending the two protagonists on a downward spiral of vengeance, emotional self-destruction, and inflated egos. Goodbye June – December 24 (Netflix) Directed by Kate Winslet, Goodbye June is a moving family drama set during the Christmas season.
