Indian cinema in Australia

What is on, and where

Every Indian film we can find on an Australian screen this week, in any language, down to the single-session community hires. 20 films on now, 30 more listed — Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Punjabi and Bengali so far. Bengali gets here a different way.

Checked 31 October 2026. Next refresh 1 November 2026 — checked every morning. The cinema week turns over on a Thursday and titles open on the Friday, so the slate can move any day.

This week

The films

Tap a title for the details. The session links go to the cinema’s own page for that film, because the cinema is the only source that is right about its own sessions today — see how this is put together for why we do not print session times ourselves.

We try to find and list Indian films in every language, as far as we possibly can — not a fixed set of six or seven. A national release and a community group hiring one screen for one session both belong here. The languages below are the ones we have found, not the ones we look for.

HOYTS and Reading suburbs are confirmed screening today, read from each cinema’s own page. Event suburbs are the cinemas listed for this film on Event’s site; session times are not read, so a few may not be on today.

Directed by Srikar Nayan G · 2h 30m	6 November 2026	Event has started listing the film. Its Event page returns under the film’s own title with the site-wide cinema picker rather than a roster, so Event is carrying it but not yet selling it, and that page gives the running time as 150 minutes. Village Cinemas still has it on the coming-soon grid with an Australian release date of Friday 6 November, and that is where its cast and its director come from. Village publishes no language; Harkins Theatres bills it as Telugu with subtitles and Filmy Focus gives Telugu in its own language field. HOYTS answers 404 for the slug. Read at 6:00 am on 31 October.
Telugu	Donga Naa KodukuVillage	Raghu Babu, Rajitha, Mouli Tanuj Prasanth, Gundu Sudharshan, Sushmitha Shetty No premise has been published	13 November 2026	Nothing has moved, checked on 31 October. Village Cinemas has it on the coming-soon grid with an Australian release date of Friday 13 November, and that is where its cast and its director Sreenu Kambala come from; Village publishes no duration for it. Village publishes no language either; Telangana Today and Siasat both carry it as a Telugu release, and Telangana Today gives 13 November in India as well. No other Australian chain lists it, and Village publishes no cinemas.
Telugu	ENE RepeatEvent Village	Vishwak Sen, Srinath Maganti, Abhinav Gomatam, Shivathmika Rajashekar, Sai Sushanth Reddy, Anisha Ambrose, Venkatesh Kakumanu The same close group of friends, another journey, and the old memories that come with it. Directed by Tharun Bhascker Dhaassyam · 2h 30m	19 November 2026	New to this page — new on Event Cinemas’ and Village Cinemas’ coming-soon lists, read on 6 October, and on neither the HOYTS Indian slate nor at any of the twenty-seven Reading sites. Both chains give Thursday 19 November; Event gives 150 minutes and no classification, and Village gives no duration at all. Neither chain has it on sale: Event renders the site-wide cinema picker and Village says session times are not available yet, so no cinema can be named. Neither chain publishes a language, so the billing and the trade press settle it: director Tharun Bhascker Dhaassyam with Vishwak Sen, and both The Hollywood Reporter India and 123telugu report it as the Telugu sequel to Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi. Cast is Village’s own billing, in its own order.
Telugu	Aakasamlo Oka TaraVillage	Dulquer Salmaan, Shruti Haasan, Satvika Veeravalli, Keshav Deepak No premise has been published	20 November 2026	Nothing has moved, checked on 31 October.

Village Cinemas has it on the coming-soon grid with an Australian release date of Friday 27 November, and that is where its cast and its director Ludheer Byreddy come from; Village publishes no duration for it. Village publishes no language either; Telangana Today carries it as a Telugu release, calls it a pan-Indian film and gives 27 November in India as well. No other Australian chain lists it, and Village publishes no cinemas.

Directed by Rawindra Pulle	27 November 2026	New to this page. Village Cinemas has it on the coming-soon grid with an Australian release date of Friday 27 November, and that is where its cast and its director Rawindra Pulle come from; Village publishes no duration for it. Village publishes no language either; the Hollywood Reporter India and DT Next both carry it as a Telugu release and both give the same director. No other Australian chain lists it, and Village publishes no cinemas.
Telugu	Alias RukminiVillage	Nithiin, AafiyAa Sayed A novelist publishes his racier books under his wife Rukmini’s name, and keeps quiet about who really wrote them. Directed by Muralikanth Devasoth	4 December 2026	New to this page. Village Cinemas has it on the coming-soon grid with an Australian release date of Friday 4 December, and that is where its cast and its director come from; Village prints the duration as TBC. Village publishes no language; Filmibeat and District both give Telugu in their own language fields, and The Hollywood Reporter India calls it a Telugu romantic drama. Village spells the second billed name AafiyAa Sayed where the trade press spells it Aafiya Sayed. Event serves its soft-404 for the slug, HOYTS answers 404, and none of the twenty-seven Reading sites lists it, read at 6:04 am on 31 October.
Telugu	Rowdy JanardhanaHOYTS Village	Janardhana’s reputation is built on the street, until politicians find a use for it and it stops being his. Directed by Ravi Kiran Kola	18 December 2026	From the HOYTS Indian slate, which also has a Hindi version on the same date.
Telugu	January 12 VidudalaHOYTS Village	No premise has been published Directed by Anil Ravipudi	12 January 2027	New to this list. From the HOYTS Indian slate alone, so treat it as a plan rather than a fixture — a date held by one chain and nobody else has moved before now.
Telugu	KaakaHOYTS Village	Satyam supervises at an aquaculture plant and keeps his head down, until something forces the harder man out of him. Directed by Bobby Kolli	13 January 2027	New to this list, from the HOYTS Indian slate alone. A Wednesday, the day after January 12 Vidudala.
Hindi 8 films	Ramayana: Part 1Event HOYTS Village	Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, Sai Pallavi The first part of the Ramayana, with Rama bound by duty and Ravana an immortal king driven by pride. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari · 3h 25m	5 November 2026 Sony Pictures / Mind Blowing Films	HOYTS has taken Belconnen in the Australian Capital Territory back one day after dropping it, read at 6:00 am on 31 October. Event names thirty-eight cinemas, HOYTS forty-eight and Reading twenty-seven; Event’s and Reading’s are unchanged cinema for cinema. Reading has it at every one of its 27 sites.
Hindi	Yeh Prem Mol LiyaEvent HOYTS Village	Ayushmann Khurrana, Sharvari Two best friends fall in love, and one lie puts both the romance and their families in the way. Directed by Sooraj R. Barjatya · 2h 30m	27 November 2026	On Event, Village Cinemas and, since 1 October, HOYTS, which has added it to its Indian coming-soon tab for Friday 27 November and bills it as Hindi with English subtitles — so the language is published by a chain now rather than resting on the press. All three give 27 November 2026. Variety India and The Hollywood Reporter India both report it as Sooraj Barjatya’s Hindi romance with Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari, which is where the cast here comes from. Not on the Cinema India strand and at no Reading site. Village gives 150 minutes and no cinemas.
Hindi	Gunmaaster G9Village	Emraan Hashmi, Genelia D’Souza An action romance reviving the Gunmaster G9 spy of Mithun Chakraborty’s 1980s films, with Emraan Hashmi in the part.	27 November 2026	Nothing has moved, checked on 31 October. Village Cinemas has it on the coming-soon grid with an Australian release date of Friday 27 November, and bills no cast, no director and no duration for it. Both the language and the cast here come from the trade press: Sacnilk, IANS and The Print all carry it as a Hindi release for 27 November with Emraan Hashmi and Genelia D’Souza. No other Australian chain lists it, and Village publishes no cinemas.
Hindi	FauziHOYTS Village	A worn-out soldier comes through a battle that kills the men around him, and has to live with it. Directed by Hanu Raghavapudi	3 December 2026	From the HOYTS Indian slate, which carries Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu versions on the same date.

Zeeshan Ayyub The life of Vithabai Narayangaonkar, who rose from nothing to become Maharashtra’s best-known Tamasha and Lavani performer. Directed by Laxman Utekar	4 December 2026 Mind Blowing Films	Village Cinemas has listed it — new on Village’s coming-soon grid on 6 October, beside the HOYTS Indian slate that already carried it. Village agrees on Friday 4 December, bills director Laxman Utekar and a fuller cast than this row carried before, and gives no classification and no duration. It is not on Event and not at any of the twenty-seven Reading sites. Village publishes no roster and says session times are not available yet, so no cinema can be named.
Hindi	KingEvent HOYTS Village	Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone A mentor and the pupil he trained, pushed to the edge of what the two of them can survive. Directed by Siddharth Anand · 2h 30m	24 December 2026 Mind Blowing Films	Event has stopped selling the film. Its Event page answers with the site-wide cinema picker instead of a roster, read at 6:00 am on 31 October, where Strathpine in Queensland had been the one cinema on it. HOYTS has it on the Indian coming-soon tab with no cinema from its session filter, and Village Cinemas has it on the coming-soon grid.
Hindi	Golmaal 5Village	The same childhood friends, tangled up in another situation of their own making.	8 January 2027	New to this page, from Village Cinemas’ coming-soon grid, read on 17 October, which gives Friday 8 January 2027. Village publishes no language, no runtime, no classification and no cinemas. The language is not inferred from the franchise name: Outlook, The Hans India and Odisha Bytes all report Rohit Shetty confirming a Hindi comedy with Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar for that exact date, which matches Village’s. Not on Event’s slate, the HOYTS session filter does not know the slug, and it is at none of the twenty-seven Reading sites. No cast is published here, because no chain bills one.
Hindi	Love & WarVillage	Two Army officers, both unyielding, and the woman between them.	21 January 2027	New to this page, from Village Cinemas’ coming-soon grid, read on 17 October, which gives Thursday 21 January 2027. Village publishes no language, no runtime, no classification and no cinemas. The Week, IANS and Hollywood Reporter India all report Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Hindi film with Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal for that date, after several delays, which is where the language and the date agreement come from. Not on Event’s slate, the HOYTS session filter does not know the slug, and it is at none of the twenty-seven Reading sites. No cast is published here, because no chain bills one.
Malayalam 4 films	DiscoVillage	Antony Varghese, Chemban Vinod Jose, Dev Mohan, Femina George, Sreenath Bhasi, Arjun Ashokan, Lukman Avaran, Vishnu Unnikrishnan, Ahmad Golchin Friends chasing quick money in a retro setting find themselves drawn into the local underworld. Directed by Ullas Chemban	6 November 2026	New to this page. Village Cinemas has it on the coming-soon grid with an Australian release date of Friday 6 November, and that is where its cast and its director come from; Village prints the duration as TBC. Village publishes no language, so the language rests on Filmibeat, whose Language field reads Malayalam, and District, which gives the same in its own language field and in its FAQ. Event serves its soft-404 for the slug, HOYTS answers 404, and none of the twenty-seven Reading sites lists it, so no chain names a cinema, read at 6:04 am on 31 October.
Malayalam	Bachelor Party D’euxVillage	Naslen K. Gafoor, Kunchacko Boban, Tovino Thomas, Soubin Shahir, Sharafudheen, Sreenath Bhasi, Chandu Salim Kumar, Shine Tom Chacko, Nadhiya Moidu Thieves held together by their own code of loyalty must find a way out of a city in uproar. Directed by Amal Neerad	19 November 2026	New to this page. Village Cinemas has it on the coming-soon grid with an Australian release date of Thursday 19 November, and that is where its cast and its director Amal Neerad come from; Village prints the duration as TBC. Village publishes no language; Filmibeat gives Malayalam in its Language field and Wikipedia gives the same in its infobox. It is a sequel to the 2012 film Bachelor Party, and Wikipedia gives 15 October 2026 as the Indian release where Village gives 19 November for Australia. Event serves its soft-404 for the slug, HOYTS answers 404, and none of the twenty-seven Reading sites lists it, read at 6:04 am on 31 October.
Malayalam	Hail MaryEvent HOYTS Village	Kunchacko Boban, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Anu Sithara, Vinay Forrt, Jagadish, Suhasini Maniratnam, Hakkim Shajahan A modern retelling of the nativity: Mary plays basketball and works at her father’s petrol station, Joseph has dropped out and drives a cab. Directed by Vishnu Revikumar · 2h 34m	26 November 2026	HOYTS lists it on its Indian coming-soon tab, as hail-mary-malayalam-eng-sub, and the row carries a HOYTS link. HOYTS’ session filter answers with no cinemas, so no seats are on sale there and no cinema is named. Event’s slug is on its general coming-soon list, and Event’s own description calls it a Malayalam-language drama directed by Vishnu Revikumar — so two chains name the language and it rests on neither billing nor inference. Event’s film page returns the site-wide cinema picker rather than a roster, so no seats are on sale there either, and it is not in the Cinema India strand. It is at none of the twenty-seven Reading sites on both tabs. Village Cinemas was readable again on 19 October and still lists the film on its coming-soon grid; its 154 minutes stands as read earlier, and Village publishes no classification, no consumer advice and no cinemas. Cast is Village’s own billing, in its own order. Read on 19 October.
Malayalam	AthimanoharamVillage	Mohanlal, Meera Jasmine, Jagadish, Siddique, Manoj K. Jayan A police officer finds the pressures of the job and the demands of his own household pulling him in opposite directions. Directed by Tharun Moorthy	24 December 2026	New to this page. Village Cinemas has it on the coming-soon grid with an Australian release date of Thursday 24 December, and that is where its cast and its director Tharun Moorthy come from; Village prints the duration as TBC. Village publishes no language; Filmibeat and District both give Malayalam in their own language fields. The national classification register returns no row at all for the title. Event serves its soft-404 for the slug, HOYTS answers 404, and none of the twenty-seven Reading sites lists it, read at 6:04 am on 31 October.
Punjabi 3 films	ChakkvenVillage	Kartar Cheema, Vishal Brar, Harpreet Bains, Balwinder Dhaliwal, Raj Dhaliwal, Gursewak Mander, Sukh Khyala, Tarapaal, Raavi Kaur Bal, Rajveer Kaur, Sanju Solanki, Mukesh Chandelia, Malkit Rauni, Pritpal Pali, Sukh Dandiwal, Poonam Sood, Kabir Gill, Raman Shergill, Gurnaz Chahal, Jimmy Sharma, Rahul Jungral No premise has been published Directed by Happy Rode · 2h 23m	20 November 2026	New to this page, and the language is at last published. Village Cinemas describes it on its own film page as a Punjabi-language family drama directed by Happy Rode, read at 6:04 am on 31 October, which is the first time any source has stated the language; the row was held off for seven mornings precisely because none did. The national classification register independently gives Punjabi, India, 2026 and the same director. No premise has been published anywhere, and the register holds only an advertising approval, not a classification.
Punjabi	70 SyaalVillage	Dhanveer Singh, Nikeet Dhillon, Jobanpreet Singh, Karamjit Anmol, Noor Kaur Chahal, Lucky Dhaliwal, Sanju Solanki, Amrit Amby An expatriate family returns to the Punjab village their people came from for the sake of a dying father, and the old house does not let them settle. Directed by Inderpal Singh	20 November 2026	New to this page. Village Cinemas has it on the coming-soon grid with an Australian release date of Friday 20 November, and that is where its cast and its director Inderpal Singh come from; Village prints the duration as TBC. Village publishes no language; Cinetown gives Punjabi in its own language field, Punjabi Front calls it an upcoming Punjabi horror and emotional drama, and ETV Bharat’s Punjabi edition reports it as a new Punjabi film. ETV Bharat gives 20 November as a worldwide release, the same day Village gives for Australia. The national classification register returns no exact match for the title. Event serves its soft-404 for the slug, HOYTS answers 404, and none of the twenty-seven Reading sites lists it, read at 6:04 am on 31 October.
Punjabi	SanjogVillage	Jassie Gill, Neha Sharma, Happy Raikoti, Karamjit Anmol, Nirmal Rishi, Jagtar Jaggi, Balwinder Begowal, Mandeep Mandy, Sukhi Chahal Harman tells one small lie to get himself out of being married, and it does the opposite.	27 November 2026	Nothing has moved, checked on 31 October. Village Cinemas has it on the coming-soon grid with an Australian release date of Friday 27 November, and that is where its cast, its director Harish Gargi and its two hours four minutes come from. Village publishes no language; ETV Bharat’s Punjabi edition and Punjabi Mania both carry it as a Punjabi release with Jassie Gill and Neha Sharma. No other Australian chain lists it, and Village publishes no cinemas.
Tamil 3 films	SceneEvent HOYTS Village	Suriya, Naslen, Nazriya Nazim An oddball police officer and his equally odd team are handed an assignment that does not go as planned. Directed by Jithu Madhavan · 2h 40m	6 November 2026	Event has dropped Springfield in Queensland and kept twelve cinemas, read at 6:00 am on 31 October. HOYTS is unchanged cinema for cinema at six on its own roster.
Tamil	Mookuti Amman 2Village	Abhinaya, Yogi Babu, Regina Cassandra, Ajay Ghosh A queen dies protecting her son, and the goddess returns to stand between the boy and what is coming for him. Directed by Sundar C. · 2h 23m · MA 15+ (Mature Accompanied) — Strong violence	6 November 2026	The national classification register has published a decision. It gives MA 15+ with the consumer advice Strong violence, 143 minutes, Sundar C. as director, India, 2026 and Tamil, under the category detail Public Exhibition, read at 6:12 am on 31 October. Its record matches this row’s spelling exactly, and its language settles what Village does not publish. The running time here follows the register’s 143 minutes rather than two and a half hours Village prints. Village Cinemas still has it on the coming-soon grid for Friday 6 November, and the cast is Village’s billing in its own order; The Hollywood Reporter India, The Hans India and DT Next carry it under the spelling Mookuthi Amman 2.

Announced for Sydney by Bengali CineClub Australia, who hire one screen for one session — usually HOYTS Blacktown, sometimes Bankstown or Wetherill Park — and sell their own tickets. Their listing still says the date and the cinema are to be confirmed, and nothing is on sale, so there is no day to print and we will not invent one. This is the only way Bengali films reach Australian screens, and neither chain’s Indian listing ever shows them — see how this page is put together. A legal comedy-drama, Pathikrit Basu directing, 130 minutes on its Indian release of 1 May 2025. Cast order is the film’s own billing, not the promoter’s, because the promoter publishes none.

B-Town

On Village Cinemas alone. Event has stopped listing it — its slug is gone from the Cinema India strand and from both general lists, and its film page renders the site-wide cinema picker — so the Event link has been taken off this row.

Not on the HOYTS Indian slate and not at any Reading site.

Village publishes no runtime, no classification and no cinemas.

It publishes no language either, but its own synopsis calls this “the harsh realities of Punjabi student life in Brampton, Ontario” and the billing agrees: director Sukh Sanghera, with Jagjeet Sandhu.

If you are camping

Away from a city, the answer is usually no

This is the part nobody publishes, so here it is plainly.

We checked the nearest cinema to every park on this site.

Of eighteen, three have a realistic chance of an Indian film: Discovery Parks Melbourne, NRMA Ocean Beach at Umina (Event Tuggerah, about forty minutes), and anything in Sydney.

Everywhere else the nearest cinema is a two- to six-screen regional independent running an English slate, and it does not change for Diwali.

The sharpest case is Woolgoolga, which has one of the oldest Punjabi communities in Australia and two Sikh temples — and whose nearest cinema, Event Coffs Harbour, never screened Indian film at all.

It closed permanently on 13 September 2026. Nambucca Heads lost its cinema in February 2026.

So on the mid north coast the nearest screen is now the Sawtell twin, about forty-five minutes, and it is mainstream only.

What this means in practice: Hindi films open on a Friday and sessions firm up on the Tuesday or Wednesday before.

If a release matters to you, see it before you drive out of range — not after you arrive.

Diwali 2026 is Sunday 8 November, and Ramayana: Part 1 opens here on the 6th, two days before India.

Back to the trips

Method

How this page is put together

And what it deliberately does not do.

We do not print session times. Beside each HOYTS and Reading cinema is a row of five small marks: morning, mid day, afternoon, evening and night. A filled mark means that cinema has at least one session of the film in that part of the day, read from the cinema’s own page when this page was built that morning. It tells you whether an evening trip is possible, not when to arrive. For the time, use the cinema’s own page — each HOYTS and Reading suburb links to that cinema’s page.

Event cinemas carry no marks. Event’s terms of use rule out reading its site with robots or scrapers, and using its session times, so we do not read Event’s sessions at all. The Event cinemas named here are the ones Event lists for the film, and a few may have nothing on today.

If the morning’s read fails or comes back thin, the marks are left off entirely rather than carried over from the day before.

Where we name cinemas, we say what verified them — Event’s own per-film roster, or a sweep of individual HOYTS cinema pages. Those lists are partial and labelled as partial. Where a film has no cinema list here at all, that means we could not verify one this week, not that it is showing nowhere — the link will say.

No poster art, no stills, no trailers, no synopses. Those are copyright and are not ours to publish. The card art on this page is generated from the film’s title in our own type. Release dates, languages, runtimes and classifications are facts, and facts are not copyright.

Dates move, and the distributors disagree with each other. On Ramayana alone, Mind Blowing Films says 6 November, Forum Films says 23 October and Wikipedia says 30 October. We publish the one we could corroborate across the trade press and say when we could not.

Not everything on Event’s “Cinema India” strand is an Indian film. Acharya is on the strand this morning, and Ka Kaa Ki Kii, Kabbadi 5 and Chha Maya Chhapakkai 2 are on the coming-soon lists; all four are Nepali, made in Nepal with Nepali casts. They are worth seeing and they are on real screens in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane; they are simply not what this page counts. We list Indian-language releases, so if you are looking for Nepali cinema, go to the chain’s own listing rather than ours.

We read four chains, and that is still not everywhere. Event and HOYTS were the original two. Village Cinemas is the third, added on 26 September after it turned out to be carrying a Punjabi release — Lutt Mubarak — that had come off HOYTS and was never on Event, so for a few hours this page said it was playing nowhere. Village matters more than its size suggests: it does not operate in New South Wales at all, and it runs the standing multi-language Indian programme at Sunshine, about ten minutes from the Melbourne park on this site — the best-served of the eighteen by a distance.

Reading Cinemas is the fourth, and it needs a cinema chosen first. Its listing pages show nothing at all — “no sessions available” — until you pick a site from the cinema selector at the top left. Choose one and it lists perfectly well, and better than the others in one respect: Reading prints each film’s language in the title, so The Paradise (Telugu) needs no cross-checking. We got this wrong earlier on 26 September and said their website was broken. It is not, and the mistake was ours. With Auburn selected, Reading listed its sessions perfectly well. On 26 September we went back and worked through all twenty-seven of its Australian sites one at a time, instead of the two we had looked at. On that date it was carrying three Indian films: The Paradise (Telugu) at Auburn and Harbour Town, and Tutt Paini English Ne (Punjabi) and The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest at Auburn, Harbour Town and Dandenong. Three more sat on its coming-soon list — Prem Keetanu, Drishyam: The Conclusion and Prahaar — and all three were already on this page. Nothing Reading carries is missing from this page, and nothing on this page is Reading-only. Reading’s cinemas appear in the Suburbs column, and the Reading link under each title goes straight to that film at a named cinema, because a Reading link without a cinema in it lands the reader on an empty page.

Bengali gets here a different way

Bengali arrives a fourth way, through a promoter rather than a chain. Bengali CineClub Australia, in Wentworthville, hires a single screen for a single session — HOYTS Blacktown most often, sometimes Bankstown or Wetherill Park — and sells its own tickets. A hired session never appears on HOYTS’ own Indian page, so this list could not see one at all until we began reading the promoter directly: Bohurupi, Shontaan, Killbill Society and The Eken all played Blacktown and none of them ever reached this page. Marathi, Gujarati, Bhojpuri, Odia and Assamese come through festivals rather than release, chiefly the National Indian Film Festival of Australia, which is between editions.

And a one-off screening counts the same as a national release. A community promoter who hires a single screen for a single session is putting an Indian film on an Australian screen, so it belongs in the table. Where the promoter has announced a title but not a day, the Opens column says Date to be announced rather than carrying a date we made up.

This page lists what we could verify, not everything that exists. Promoters hire screens all over the country and many announce only on social media. We check both chains’ Indian pages, their general listings, Village, and the community promoters we know of — and titles have still slipped past: seven Indian releases reached Australian cinemas in September 2026 and finished their runs without this page ever carrying them. If something is missing, that is a gap and not a claim that it does not exist.

Why this is on a camping site. Every park page here already carries an Indian groceries and temple section, because that is what our own family needs when planning a trip. This is the same question one step further out: if we go away for a week, is there anything on, and can we get to it. The honest answer is usually no, which is exactly why it is worth writing down.

This page changes every week and is the one most likely to go stale. We would rather be told than be wrong — tell us about this page. And if there is something you wish this site covered and it does not, tell us that too.
