The Indian spotlight shines brightest on Kunal Kemmu, who headlines ‘Single Papa’, a warm, humorous story about unexpected parenthood. Kemmu plays a carefree “man-child” who shocks everyone including himself when he decides to adopt a baby soon after his divorce.
At first, his life looks like a beautiful mess. He still behaves like the family’s most irresponsible adult, he panics at small problems. He has no idea how diapers work. Slowly this little baby turns him into a version of himself he never imagined: patient, responsible, and deeply devoted.
The supporting cast brings more charm and chaos. Manoj Pahwa, Ayesha Raza, and Prajakta Koli add heart to this feel-good series.
If you prefer thrillers over emotional comedies, ZEE5 drops a pulse-racing drama this week. Saali Mohabbat, starring Radhika Apte, Divyendu Sharma, and Anurag Kashyap, is built on tension, secrecy, dark corners of small town.
The story revolves around Smita, a seemingly normal housewife who lives a peaceful life… until a double murder shakes her world. Her husband and her cousin become the centre of this crime and Smita finds herself trapped between love and terrifying secrets.
This one is a story of courage, unity and a dream born in conflict. ‘Real Kashmir Football Club’, starring Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub and Manav Kaul, draws inspiration from the real journey of Kashmir’s first professional football club.
At its heart are two men: one a Kashmiri Hindu Pandit, the other a Kashmiri Muslim who join hands despite political tensions and social divisions. They chase a shared dream of building a football club that stands tall in the valley.
After the Indian titles, the global lineup takes over with an exciting mix of mysteries, comedies, animated battles, supernatural adventures, crime stories and what not!
This Japanese reality dating series puts 11 former teenage rebels nicknamed “yankiis” under one roof. For two weeks, they stay together in a mountain academy as part of a social experiment to see if they can fall in love.
There are no fancy villas or luxury beach houses here. Instead we get honesty, vulnerability, awkward confessions, raw emotions of people trying to understand love for the first time.
It’s messy, sweet, real, surprisingly endearing.
The Mexican drama returns with more emotional storms. One year has passed since a birthday event shattered four families. But time hasn’t healed the wounds completely.
Season 2 dives deep into how grief and revenge shape each family’s decisions. With new truths emerging, the question becomes: Will they choose forgiveness? Will they tear one another apart again?
Anime fans, here comes your adrenaline shot. ‘Record of Ragnarok’ enters its next phase with Round 7 of the battle between gods and humans. With the score tied at 3-3, every fight now carries more weight.

The new season raises the stakes and pushes the tournament closer to its final destiny.
The Sea of Monsters comes alive as Percy Jackson embarks on another stormy adventure. His mission is urgent. He has to rescue Grover, find the Golden Fleece and save Camp Half-Blood from destruction.
But dangers multiply quickly. Ancient curses, enemy creatures, and old rivalries return. Fans of Rick Riordan’s novels will find familiar events. But the show adds its own flavour and excitement.
This Saudi comedy follows Sattam, a businessman drowning in debt. In a moment of desperation and questionable wisdom, he decides to fake his own kidnapping to squeeze money out of his stingy father.
But like all bad plans, things go out of control. Things go wrong, then more wrong, and completely off the rails. The film promises a fun, chaotic ride.
Rowan Atkinson returns as Trevor Bingley, the same man who once fought a bee in ‘Man vs Bee’. This time, Trevor wants a peaceful Christmas while house-sitting a luxury penthouse.
But fate has other ideas. He ends up taking care of a baby who has been left behind.
With Atkinson’s unmatched comedy, expressions and clumsy charm, this series turns baby-sitting into an adventure full of laughter, mistakes, and disasters.
This Taiwanese romantic mystery grows darker in its second part. High-school romance from part one now shifts towards violence, trauma, and making of a feared criminal the “Rainstorm Killer.”
The series moves between past and present, love and regret, innocence and brutality, unravelling the path that leads a young man into darkness.
This six-episode Spanish mini-series is packed with suspense. A disgraced detective, forced back into service, must investigate a horrifying sight: a burning body hanging from one of Gaudí’s iconic buildings in Barcelona.
What begins as a strange murder grows into a complex conspiracy. Shadows of corruption, hidden networks, and past mistakes follow the detective as he races to uncover the truth in a city filled with secrets.
The biggest global blockbuster of the week arrives here. Daniel Craig returns as the brilliant detective Benoit Blanc in the third film of the ‘Knives Out’ franchise.
This time, Blanc joins a young priest to investigate an “impossible” murder inside a gothic Catholic church in upstate New York. The atmosphere is eerie, the clues are strange, and the death seems supernatural at first glance.
But Blanc never believes in the impossible.
The star-studded cast makes the film even more exciting:
Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Josh O’Connor, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, and Andrew Scott, each one playing a character with secrets worth hiding.
This comedy-drama follows Bani Ahmed, a young writer dreaming of completing her career-defining manuscript. But life has other plans. Just as her deadline approaches, her family plunges into chaos. Old rivalries explode, emergencies pop up like popcorn, and everyone suddenly needs her attention.
Bani’s peaceful writing days turn into a roller-coaster of family drama, humour, and emotional meltdowns.
The show captures the madness of Indian households in a lively, relatable way.
Grab a blanket, make some tea, pick your mood, and dive in. The OTT universe of new movies and releases is fully stocked.
