List of Friday Releases on OTT:
1. A Different Man – Netflix
A Different Man blends dark comedy and psychological drama around Edward (Sebastian Stan), a timid actor with neurofibromatosis haunted by his appearance. He seeks experimental surgery for a “normal” look and pivots to real estate success. Trouble brews when ex-crush Ingrid (Renée Reinsve) pens a play about him—he grabs the starring role behind his old-face mask. Yet charismatic Oswald (Adam Pearson), his facial double, seizes the stage and shatters his illusions, revealing Edward’s real terror: not looks, but genuine connection.
2. Deadloch Season 2 – Prime Video
Deadloch season two brings Tropical Gothic crime comedy to Australia’s scorching Northern Territory. Detectives Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) and Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami) leave Tasmania’s chill for Barra Creek’s brutal heat. They hunt Eddie’s ex-partner’s killer and a crocodile-discovered severed body. Weird locals, croc trainers, and racial tensions complicate their sweaty murder probe. This darkly funny mystery pushes their mismatched partnership to breaking point.
3. Border 2 – Netflix
Border 2 reignites the 1997 classic’s fire with Anurag Singh’s action-packed war drama, plunging into the 1971 Indo-Pak War. Ahan Shetty flies as Navy pilot Mahendra Singh Rawat, Diljit Dosanjh soars as Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon, and Varun Dhawan fights as Major Hoshiar Singh Dahiya. Their brotherhood forges in brutal battles across the Shakargarh bulge, the Srinagar airfield, and the Arabian Sea. Sunny Deol commands as Lt. Col. Fateh Singh Kaler, leading soldiers and families through relentless multi-front defence.
4. Kasargod Embassy – ZEE5
Kasargod Embassy delivers a tense Malayalam crime thriller from late-2000s northern Kerala. Cousins Chemmu and Azi (Abu Salim, Govind Pai) seek escape from poverty. Uncle Razak Mama runs a passport forgery ring from his stationery shop. Small jobs spiral into dangerous forgery networks and police pursuit. Family loyalty fractures as survival instincts clash with conscience in this gripping cat-and-mouse survival tale.
5. Chiraiya – JioHotstar
Chiraiya delivers Shashant Shah’s unflinching Hindi social drama inside a traditional Indian family bound by silence. Divya Dutta shines as Kamlesh, the ideal daughter-in-law whose world cracks when she learns sister-in-law Pooja (Prasanna Bisht) suffers marital sexual abuse. Family honor battles justice as the series dismantles marriage-equals-consent mythology. Sanjay Mishra, Tinnu Anand, and Sarita Joshi anchor this quiet, devastating portrait of patriarchy’s hidden violence.
6. Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man – Netflix
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man unleashes action-packed crime drama amid 1940s Birmingham’s Blitz.
