Let’s start with a love story that clearly didn’t get the “safe holiday” memo. ‘Tu Yaa Main’ drops on April 10 on Netflix, and it begins like a dreamy influencer romance.
Two social media influencers fall for each other during a getaway, expecting filters, fun and flirtation. But the vibe changes fast when the couple gets trapped in a swimming pool… with a crocodile. Yes, romance literally meets reptile horror here.
The film stars Shanaya Kapoor and Adarsh Gourav.
Netflix is not done yet. Another release, ‘Thrash’, also arriving on April 10, takes survival drama to extreme levels.
The story follows a woman who is nine months pregnant and trapped inside her car during a devastating Category 5 hurricane in South Carolina. As if rising floodwaters weren’t enough, sharks start circling her submerged vehicle.
Starring Phoebe Dynevor, Djimon Hounsou and Whitney Peak, this one is basically nature turning into a full-blown villain.
Switching gears from natural disasters to classic murder mystery energy, Zee5 brings ‘Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa’ on April 10.
Directed by Rajat Kapoor, this film is being described as a “desi Knives Out”-style whodunnit. The story unfolds at an anniversary celebration in a remote mansion in Himachal Pradesh.
But the party mood dies quickly when Sohrab Handa, a foul-mouthed and aggressive businessman, is found dead with his throat slit.
The ensemble cast includes Vinay Pathak, Ranvir Shorey, Saurabh Shukla, Koel Purie and Sadia Siddiqui.
