Diwali week is finally here, and we’re all trying to get into the festive mood. This year, the festival of lights is on a Saturday, but it doesn’t make any difference because work from home has made every day a weekday. Plus, the pandemic has put a pause on all social gatherings and celebrations. So it seems that Diwali, too, this year, is going to be spent at home with family or flatmates. While you find your perfect outfits and mithai for Diwali, we suggest adding a few celebratory movies to your plans too, for that extra sparkle! Check out our specially curated Diwali weekend watchlist to bring the happy vibe into your home.
