Alright, UAE movie buffs, the Eid 2025 holidays are here—meaning extra time to relax, eat way too much, and of course, hit the cinemas! But with so many options, the big question is: Which movie to watch in UAE?
We’ve got three big contenders in UAE cinemas: A Working Man, Snow White, and Sikandar. Each one promises drama, action, or fantasy, but let’s be real—not every movie is for everyone.
So, which one should YOU watch? Here’s the real deal, no sugarcoating.
Our Suggestion for Best Movie to Watch in UAE:
When we saw everyone debating on A Working Man, Snow White, and Sikandar, we knew we had to drop our take on which movie to watch in UAE! Eid is peak movie season, but not every film is worth your time—so let’s make sure you don’t waste yours.
1. A Working Man – The Emotional Underdog Story
If you love movies that hit right in the feels, A Working Man is for you. This one follows the journey of a regular guy hustling through life, tackling struggles that make you go, “Same, bro. Same.”
It’s emotional, inspiring, and all about resilience.
What do we think:
This film gives off strong Pursuit of Happyness vibes but with a more grounded, relatable approach. It’s slow at times, but the performances make up for it.
Honestly, out of the three, this one is probably the best pick if you’re looking for a solid, well-told story with depth and meaning. You can watch it at Vox Cinemas.
Watch if: You love thought-provoking, deep storytelling with a slice of reality. Bonus points if you’re a fan of indie-style movies.
Skip if: You’re looking for high-speed action or mind-blowing CGI. This one is more about quiet intensity than explosions.
2. Snow White – The Fairytale, But Make It Edgy
Yep, another live-action fairytale remake—but this one promises a fresh twist on the classic Snow White. Think stunning visuals, a bit of dark fantasy, and some modern storytelling that might surprise you.
What do we think:
We’ll be honest—Disney remakes have been hit or miss, and Snow White isn’t exactly breaking the mold.
While the visuals look stunning, early reviews suggest it lacks the magic and charm of the original. If you’re into fairytales, you might still enjoy it, but don’t expect a groundbreaking retelling.
Watch if: You grew up on fairytales and want to see how they’ve revamped this classic. Also, if you’re into princess aesthetics but with a sprinkle of drama and power moves.
Skip if: You’re not a fan of remakes or you think Disney should stop touching your childhood memories.

3. Sikandar – The Bollywood Blockbuster
If you’re craving larger-than-life action, heart-thumping drama, and dialogues that make the whole cinema clap, Sikandar is your guy. A mix of action, heroism, and emotions, this one is perfect for those who love high-energy movies.
What do we think:
Given that this is a Salman Khan starrer, expectations were high. But let’s be real—we’ve seen him deliver much better performances. The action is there, the masala entertainment is there, but the depth of the storyline? Not so much.
If you’re okay with a typical Bollywood masala flick without expecting anything groundbreaking, go for it. Just don’t go in expecting a Bajrangi Bhaijaan or Sultan-level experience.
Watch if: You’re all about masala entertainment, action-packed sequences, and a hero who can take on ten guys at once.
Skip if: You prefer slow-burn, subtle storytelling over grand, dramatic cinema.
Final Verdict:
Honestly the decision for which movie to watch in UAE during Eid holidays depends highly on your vibe. If you are feeling deep and thoughtful? Go for A Working Man (seriously, it’s the best of the three).
But if you want some nostalgic fairytale magic? Snow White has got you (but manage your expectations).
And if you are craving action and Bollywood drama? Sikandar is your best bet (if you’re okay with the usual Salman Khan formula).
No matter what you pick, one thing’s for sure—the Eid holidays are the perfect time to hit the theaters! So grab your squad, book those tickets, and let us know which movie was worth the watch.
Which one are you watching this Eid?
