Half Girlfriend gets a second week at all of the above theaters, plus the AMC Loews Woodridge 18 in Woodridge, while Hindi Medium carries over at MovieMax, South Barrington 24, and Cantera 17.
The number of local theaters carrying Baahubali 2: The Conclusion is dwindling. Ticket prices have finally dropped, so take advantage of those matinée specials to see it a second time (or a fourth time, if you’re my friend Melanie!). Here’s where you can still see Mahishmati in all its glory:
Telugu: MovieMax, South Barrington 24, AMC Showplace Naperville 16 in Naperville, and Cinemark at Seven Bridges in Woodridge
Hindi: MovieMax, South Barrington 24, Cantera 17, Woodridge 18, and AMC Showplace Niles 12 in Niles
Tamil: Seven Bridges and MovieMax (which also carries Baahubali 2 in Malayalam)
Other Indian movies showing in the Chicago area this weekend include:
- Rarandoi Veduka Chudham (Telugu w/English subtitles) at MovieMax, Seven Bridges, and Century Stratford Square in Bloomingdale
- Keshava (Telugu w/English subtitles) at MovieMax and Seven Bridges
- Thondan (Tamil), Brindvanam (Tamil), and Comrade in America (Malayalam) at MovieMax
