This season is loaded with musicals as we present six of them within the series, starting with Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (Aditya Chopra, 1995), the longest running film in Indian cinema history, which screens on November 11, just before Diwali, all the way to December 23 when we present an encore screening of White Christmas (Michael Curtiz, 1954) before holiday break. Interspersed among the nine films in the series are comedies, dramas, and family films, all with a holiday influence, so grab your elves, hop in your sleigh, and warm yourself at the glow of the silver screen.
