We have put together a mix of 5 movies that will give you great company while you are isolated at home and tucked in during the Coronavirus lockdown.
Here is the list of 5 Movies that are a must watch on Disney+ Hotstar during the Coronavirus lockdown:
1. Angrezi Medium
Homi Adajania’s ‘Angrezi Medium’ is about a daughter’s dream to study in a premier college in London and a father’s determination to see the dream through. Watching Irrfan Khan brighten up the screen, even while going through his treatment makes us want to give him a real shout out for his stunning performance. If you watch a film which leaves you with a smile, here you go!

2. Chhappak
Meghna Gulzar’s ‘Chhapaak, is based on the story of Laxmi Agarwal, an acid attack survivor, an activist and a TV host. Watch this film not only because it showcases one of Deepika’s best career performance so far but also because it very well highlights the issue of acid attack in the country. With an important story that needs to be heard, make sure not to miss this movie.

3. Chhichhore
‘Chhichhore’ has a relevant message on the inherent attitude towards academic success and failure that will connect with many youngsters and parents of today. It tells you that the journey is far more important than the destination and that losing is as critical a life lesson as winning. The film is certainly worth watching, with a spectacular performance by Sushant Singh Rajput.

4. Lion King
Who doesn’t feel the rush when you hear the name ‘The Lion King’? The original 1994 animated feature was a global smash hit, and the 1997 musical stands as the third longest-running show in Broadway history. This 2019 movie a Jon Favreau’s “live action” remake of the 1994 original, has a high-profile cast with breathtaking visuals. Technically speaking, it’s a marvel with voices by Donald Glover, Beyonce, James Earl Jones and Chiwetel Ejiofor. We cannot guarantee the fun you would have had watching the movie in 3D in a theatre but don’t miss it if you already have!

5. Panga
This Kangana Ranaut-starrer ‘Panga’ is a film that honours the endless hours of work that mothers put behind their families and at the same time urges them to never give up on their dreams. It is inspired by the real-life story of a national level Kabbadi player, Jaya Nigam who decides to make a comeback to the sport at the age of 32.
This ode to motherhood and chasing one’s dreams is a must watch.
