New OTT Releases This Week: Shows and Movies to Binge This Weekend, From Jailer 2 to Daayra
Friday. The week is done. You have exactly one job this weekend, and it's picking what to watch.
I'll be honest, this is one of the most stacked OTT weeks we've had in a while. Superstar action, a cop drama that deserved more love in cinemas, a gentle family romcom and a boarding-school thriller. Here's everything, sorted by mood.
If you want a big, loud superstar film
Jailer 2 (Tamil) | Prime Video | From 12 November
Rajinikanth is back as Tiger Muthuvel Pandian, and this time the threat comes from a man who wants revenge for Varman's death. The cast is ridiculous: Mohanlal, Shiva Rajkumar, Ramya Krishnan, Vidya Balan, Mithun Chakraborty, SJ Suryah and more.
My pick for Saturday night with the whole family and very loud speakers.
If you want something that makes you think
Daayra (Hindi) | Netflix | From 13 November
Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran play senior police officers on opposite sides of a controversial encounter. Meghna Gulzar directs. It came and went quietly in cinemas in September, and I genuinely think it'll find its audience at home. I've written a whole piece on why people skipped it the first time.
If you want a warm, low-stakes watch
Parivarik ManuRanjan (Hindi) | SonyLIV | From 13 November
Pankaj Tripathi plays a 40-something bachelor in Lucknow who falls for his new housekeeper, played by Aditi Rao Hydari. Pankaj himself calls it "comfort cinema". Reviews have been mixed, but if you want something you can watch with your parents, this is it.
If you want a thriller to binge in one go
Student of the Year: After Dark (Hindi) | JioHotstar | From 13 November
Shanaya Kapoor leads this one. After her twin sister's mysterious death, Aditi goes undercover at an elite boarding school to find out what happened.
Blind Game | ZEE5 | From 11 November
Arjun Rampal and Priyamani. A suspended cop hunting for a missing fortune, and a lot of betrayal.
If you want something regional
Bandra (Malayalam) | ZEE5 | From 13 November. Dileep and Tamannaah Bhatia in a story about a powerful man whose life changes after he meets an actress.
Mrigaya 1.5: The Hunt Continues (Bengali) | ZEE5 | From 13 November. Ritwick Chakraborty leads a Kolkata Police investigation into a crime that shakes the city.
If you want international
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Season 3 | Prime Video | From 11 November. Sauron, the One Ring, the Second Age. You know the deal.
Alicia's Law | Netflix | From 11 November. A Mexican legal drama about a lawyer who returns to work after her husband, a Supreme Court Justice, is jailed.
Christmas Switch | Netflix | From 12 November. A festive mix-up for when you want zero stress.
And one rewatch
Avengers: Endgame Encore hits Disney+ on 13 November with new scenes linked to Doomsday. I've covered where Indian viewers should look for it.
My weekend plan
Friday night: Daayra. Saturday: Jailer 2, full volume. Sunday afternoon: Parivarik ManuRanjan with family. Sunday night: binge After Dark and regret nothing.
Release dates are as announced by the platforms and can shift by a few hours, so check the app if something isn't up yet.
