Bollywood film club to screen classics in Bradford

A monthly programme of Hindi cinema will begin at the National Science and Media Museum, with films from the 1970s among its first selections.

The museum’s Pictureville cinema is due to host a Bollywood Cinema Club, presented in collaboration with Reeln Ltd. The programme is described as a monthly series celebrating Hindi cinema, with a mix of familiar films and less widely known titles.

The event listing gives the programme dates as 14 November to 10 January 2027, with a stated start time of 3.30pm. It says the club will launch with a selection of films from the 1970s, including Julie (1975), Anari (1975) and Shalimar (1978).

The films are described as spanning different genres, including romantic dramas and thrillers. The listing says all screenings will have English subtitles. It does not give individual screening dates for the named films or a full schedule of titles, so further programme details may be needed for anyone wishing to attend a particular screening.
