List of Friday Releases on OTT:
1. Daldal – Prime Video
Daldal delivers a chilling psychological crime thriller where Bhumi Pednekar shines as DCP Rita Ferreira. She relentlessly tracks a savage serial killer terrorizing Mumbai, whose victims bear horrific wounds around their mouths. As Rita confronts her buried traumas and pushes back against deep-seated police patriarchy, reporter Anita Acharya (Samara Tijori) adds edge to the probe. Aditya Rawal rounds out the cast in this adaptation of Vish Dhamija’s riveting novel Bhendi Bazaar.
2. Devkhel (Marathi) – ZEE5
You know that chill when folklore meets real chills? Devkhel nails it as a psychological crime thriller in Marathi. Ankush Chaudhari totally owns the role of Inspector Vishwas Saranjame, who’s unraveling these spooky deaths in the quiet Devtali village. Every Holi, locals swear it’s the demon Shankasur striking again—but Vishwas isn’t buying the superstition. With Prajaktta Mali stealing scenes alongside him, it’s this perfect mix of ancient myths and edge-of-your-seat investigation that kept me bingeing late into the night.
3. Dhurandhar – Netflix
Man, Dhurandhar hits different—it’s this pulse-pounding spy action thriller that had me glued. Ranveer Singh absolutely kills it as convict Jaskirat Singh Rangi, who gets pulled into RAW agent Ajay Sanyal’s (R Madhavan) insane undercover op. He slips into Karachi as Hamza Ali Mazari, climbing the ranks of Akshaye Khanna’s brutal Baloch gang, while dodging Arjun Rampal’s ruthless ISI officer and Sanjay Dutt’s heavy presence. This epic two-parter ties right into those massive terror hits, blending betrayal, high-stakes action, and non-stop tension that left me yelling at the screen.
4. Sarvam Maya (Malayalam) – JioHotstar
Sarvam Maya is that rare gem—a horror-comedy packed with real feels. Nivin Pauly nails it as Prabhendu, the skeptical musician who rolls back home broke to his priest family, only to get hit with a ritual that summons the hilarious, amnesiac ghost Delulu (Riya Shibu). These two end up bonding like quirky siblings, pulling him through old heartaches while he chases music dreams amid all the spooky rituals. It’s laughs, scares, and those unexpected tears that make you hit replay.
