Harry Potter, Toxic and Chumbak: What to watch in UAE cinemas and on OTT this weekend
This weekend is doing entirely too much. It's the kind of weekend that makes your watchlist look like a hostage note, five different genres, three different continents' worth of trauma, and a cartoon with a legal grudge twenty-five years in the making. Grab the popcorn, block out the weekend, here's what actually deserves your remote and your ticket money. Yash's Toxic beats Dhurandhar's opening…
This weekend promises an eclectic lineup of films and series to watch, both in cinemas and on streaming platforms. Three main picks stand out: Yash's Toxic, Netflix's Chumbak, and Apple TV's Dark Matter Season 2. Toxic, backed by a star-studded cast including Kiara Advani and Nayanthara, features a gangster's journey through loyalty and redemption, while Chumbak offers a warm look at generational friction within a tight-knit neighborhood.
Dark Matter, on the other hand, continues the story of Jason Dessen and his family's struggle with multiverse doppelgängers. The Whisper Man, directed by James Ashcroft and featuring Robert De Niro, Michael Keaton, and Adam Scott, deals with a serial killer nursery rhyme and a chilling mystery. Meanwhile, horror film The Dog Stars, starring Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin, and Margaret Qualley, explores survival in a post-apocalyptic world.
Overall, the weekend's offerings cater to a wide range of tastes, from family-friendly comedies to intense thrillers.
