The heat is picking up in Yangon, and honestly, there’s no better refuge than a dark, air-conditioned cinema with a giant bucket of buttery popcorn. This week’s lineup at J Cineplex is a wild mix of Hollywood sci-fi, high-octane Bollywood revenge, and local stories that hit close to home.
Whether you’re looking for a futuristic escape or a bit of pre-Thingyan vibes, here is your guide to what’s showing from March 20 to March 26.
The Big Blockbuster: Project Hail Mary
