Looking for an excuse to hit the cinema soon? Consider this your sign. The upcoming Egyptian lineup is doing the absolute most—in the best way. We’ve got mysterious life-changing gifts, full-on historical rebellion, and messy love stories. Basically, whether you’re in the mood to feel something deep or just sit back and enjoy the madness unfold, there’s a film here with your name on it:
Ezma – Mohamed Sadek
Eid al-Adha
Ever wondered what you’d do if your past suddenly came knocking—wrapped as a birthday gift? Ezma follows a man in his thirties whose life flips upside down after receiving a mysterious present from someone he never expected.
What starts as curiosity quickly turns into a full-blown emotional journey, pushing him to confront old memories, rediscover who he really is, and try to piece his life back together. With Ahmed Dawood leading the story, joined by Salma Abu Deif, Hamza Diab, and Jessica Hosameldin, expect something introspective but still packed with dramatic turns.
Asad – Mohamed Diab
May 14
Big scale, big stakes. Asad dives into the gripping story of Ali bin Muhammad al-Farsi, the man behind a massive slave revolt that shook the Abbasid era for over a decade. It’s resistance, leadership, and survival under pressure.
Mohamed Ramadan steps into the spotlight with Razane Jammal, bringing intensity to a story already loaded with tension and power struggles. With Mohamed Diab (known for blending depth with spectacle), this one feels like it’s aiming for something epic and unforgettable.
Saqr w Kanarya – Hussein El Minabbawi
Coming soon
Romance meets chaos in Saqr w Kanarya. At its heart, it’s a love story between Saqr and Kanarya, a talented fashion designer—but of course, nothing is ever that simple. Family drama creeps in fast, with complicated dynamics involving her sister and brother-in-law turning things messy. Mohamed Emam and Chico bring their energy into what looks like a mix of heartfelt moments and sharp, possibly comedic tension. Think love story… but with plenty of obstacles thrown in for good measure.
Ebn Meen Feehom – Hisham Fathy
Coming soon
What happens when a carefree, commitment-phobic businessman is suddenly forced to face responsibility? In Ebn Meen Feehom, Rushdy’s wild lifestyle comes to a halt when he inherits a fortune—with one major condition: he has to track down a son from one of his past marriages. Cue the chaos.
Alongside lawyer Majda, who doesn’t exactly see eye-to-eye with him, the search turns into a rollercoaster of arguments, awkward encounters, and unexpected revelations. With stars like Laila Eloui, Bayoumi Fouad, and Ahmed Essam El-Sayed, this one leans into comedy while still playing with emotional stakes.
El Crush – Mahmoud Karim
June 11
Rich girl meets… very not-rich guy—and chaos obviously follows. El Crush kicks off when a wealthy businesswoman crosses paths with a simple accountant, and what starts as a chance encounter quickly turns into a full-on love story. But it’s not all cute moments—there’s a constant push and pull between their completely different worlds, from lifestyle to mindset, and the film leans into both the humor and the tension that comes with that. Can love actually bridge that gap, or is reality going to get in the way? With Ahmed Dawood, Bassem Samra, Mirna Gamil, Shereen Reda, Hassan Abouelrouss, and MarIam El Gendy, expect a mix of sharp comedy and social commentary.
Final take
From introspective drama to historical epics, messy romance, and chaotic comedy, this lineup really has something for every mood. Whether you’re in the mood to reflect, feel the adrenaline of rebellion, root for complicated love, or just laugh at life’s absurd twists—your upcoming cinema trips are pretty much sorted.
