English term or phrase: Movies (Films)
I need both singular and plural. I need a Hindi word, not English/European. So मूवी and फिल्म are out. However, I also found चलचित्र and चलती तस्वीर. I think that चलती तस्वीर is more exactly translated as "motion picture". So maybe चलचित्र is the solution? Or something else?

The meaning is NOT movie theater or cinema and NOT film as film material or membrane. What I mean is movies/films to watch.
