Directed by Neill Blomkamp, District 9’s plot revolves around an extraterrestrial race forced to live in slum-like conditions on earth which suddenly finds a kindred spirit in a government agent. The Hollywood comedy Hangover, starring Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifinakis, Justin Bartha and Heather Graham, is about how a bachelor party went horribly wrong. The action-packed Wanted and Kaminey, and hilarious Dil Bole Hadippa are the Bollywood numbers awaiting audiences on the Eid days.
