Must Watch Upcoming Movies To Look Forward To

If you are a movie junkie like we are then you must definitely have a list of movies you want to watch this year. To appease your guilty pleasures, we at Baaghi TV, have compiled a list of some of the greatest films to be released in 2019 [in no particular order]. These movies are definitely not to be missed.

Aladdin

Undoubtedly one of this years biggest releases. Aladdin is a live action remake of the classic Disney animation released in 1992. It gave fame to the iconic Brad Kane and Lea Salonga for their amazing rendition of the hit song “A Whole New World” and although many covers have been produced since then, including the recent covers from the 2019 adaptation, many believe the original cover to be the best version of the duet between the characters of Princess Jasmine and Aladdin.

It follows the trials of a “street rat” Aladdin [played by Mena Massoud] who has so much more to offer than meets the eye and how he manages to win the heart of the Sultan’s daughter, Princess Jasmine [portrayed by Naomi Scott], who is truly more than just a pretty face.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters

It is the latest adaptation of the iconic franchise starring the versatile Millie Bobbie Brown, Vera Farmiga, and Kyle Chandler to name a few.

X-Men: Dark Phoenix

One of the most anticipated films of the year, Dark Phoenix has a star studded cast to ensure it a Box Office success.
