Spring is finally there with several exciting films on offer, some of which are expected to perform well. Top of the list is Fasel Men Al Lahazat Al Laziza (A Break of Good Moments), starring Hesham Maged, whose comedic series Ashghal Shakka (Apartment Works) achieved resounding success this past Ramadan. Other upcoming interesting films include the action film, Shaao (Brother), starring Amr Youssef as well Yousra, Dina El Sherbiny, Amina Khalil, and Mohamed Mamdouh. Here is a list of the major spring movies to be released in the upcoming few weeks.

(Brother)
Amr Youssef’s latest movie, Shaao, is an action thriller based on the widely successful novel, Prince of Thieves, by Chuck Hogan.
