New OTT Releases This Week (9 to 15 November): Jailer 2, Rings of Power Season 3, Student of the Year: After Dark and More, With Trailers
Okay, this week is STACKED.
Diwali's over, the mithai is (almost) finished, and the streaming platforms have clearly decided we're not going outside anytime soon. Rajinikanth is coming home. Sauron is getting his armour. And there's a murder at St Teresa's.
Here's everything worth your time between 9 and 15 November, with the trailers right here so you can decide in two minutes flat.
1. The Rings of Power, season 3
Where: Prime Video
When: 11 November
Languages: English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu
This is the big one for fantasy fans. Season 3 finally gets to the moment Tolkien fans have been waiting for: the forging of the One Ring. Sauron is in his full armoured form, Gandalf is becoming the Gandalf, and Galadriel is turning into the Lady of Lothlórien.
Whatever you thought of the first two seasons, the One Ring is a hook nobody can resist.
2. Jailer 2
Where: Prime Video
When: 12 November
Language: Tamil, with other languages reported
Thalaivar on your phone. Rajinikanth returns as Tiger Muthuvel Pandian, the retired jailer who gets pulled back in when a criminal syndicate comes for his family. Directed by Nelson, music by Anirudh Ravichander, produced by Sun Pictures.
It hit cinemas on 15 October, so this is a quick turnaround, and a lot of people who missed the theatre crowd will be watching this weekend. Fun timing too: Anirudh is getting married this very week. More on that here.
3. Parivarik ManuRanjan
Where: Sony LIV
When: 13 November
Language: Hindi
The comfort watch of the week. Pankaj Tripathi and Aditi Rao Hydari, together for the first time, in a family romantic comedy set in Lucknow. Ranjan is an unmarried man in a big ancestral house, and his very predictable life gets turned upside down when Helen, a property manager, walks in. Varun Sharma is in it too.
Pankaj Tripathi doing romance? I'm curious. Very curious.
4. Student of the Year: After Dark
Where: JioHotstar
When: 13 November
Language: Hindi
Remember the glossy, sunny Student of the Year? Forget it. This one is a murder mystery. Set at St Teresa Heritage School, it follows Aditi, whose twin sister Aayesha dies in mysterious circumstances, and her hunt for the truth. Shanaya Kapoor leads, and it's from Dharmatic, Karan Johar's digital banner.
Turning a candy-coloured franchise into a thriller is a bold swing. Let's see if it lands.
5. Ranabaali
Where: Netflix (reported)
When: 13 November (reported, not yet confirmed)
Language: Telugu
Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna reunite in a period action drama set under British rule, inspired by events in the Rayalaseema region during the Great Madras Famine of the 1870s. Directed by Rahul Sankrityan, with music by Ajay-Atul and Arnold Vosloo in the cast. It released in cinemas on 16 October.
The streaming date is reported but not officially announced, so keep an eye on Netflix.
