Ramadan is soon to be over, thus will begin Eid, and for some that means a very long weekend.
Eid Al Fitr falls on the first day of Shawwal, which is the month following Ramadan in the Islamic calendar. Throughout Eid Al Fitr, Muslims give charity to the less fortunate, and celebrate with family and friends the completion of a month of blessings and joy.
If you’ve got time, and time off work, (check here for the Eid Al Fitr holiday dates), it’s a great moment to catch up on the latest movie releases.
