Excel Entertainment, co-owned by Farhan Akhtar, had a successful year in 2024 with hits like 'Madgaon Express', Kunal Kemmu's directorial debut, and the popular third season of 'Mirzapur'. They also released 'Agni', a unique film about firefighters, which resonated well with audiences. In Burlington, the closing of Merrill's Roxy Cinemas marked the end of an era for local art house cinema, leaving film enthusiasts to seek alternative venues for indie films. Brady Corbet's 'The Brutalist', featuring Adrien Brody, stood out as a remarkable film produced on a modest budget, while the foreign-language musical 'Emilia Pérez' tackled contemporary issues with a strong performance by Zoe Saldaña. Lastly, a poignant documentary, 'Girls State', highlighted gender inequities in civic education programs, revealing societal truths through the lens of ambitious teens.
