If you’re a fan of movies and shows, this week is going to keep you busy. Jio Hotstar is bringing a solid lineup of new releases, and there’s something for everyone.
Starting May 28, fans of superhero films can catch Captain America: Brave New World, streaming in English, Telugu, and other Indian languages. One of the most anticipated Hollywood releases of the year, it’s now just a click away.
The next day, on May 29, Criminal Justice Season 4 drops in Hindi. This popular crime-drama series has kept audiences hooked for years, and the new season promises even more twists and turns.
Then on May 30, Mohanlal’s blockbuster Thudarum lands on the platform. It’s a major release for fans of South Indian cinema and will be available in Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi, making it accessible to a wide audience across regions.
And it doesn’t stop there.
On June 2, Sasikumar’s Tourist Family arrives. This recent Tamil hit earned praise from Rajinikanth, SS Rajamouli, and Nani. Now it’s coming to Jio Hotstar in several languages, including Telugu, so more viewers can enjoy the feel-good family entertainer.
Meanwhile, Netflix isn’t staying quiet. It’s getting ready to drop HIT 3 starring Nani and Retro featuring Suriya this week. So, no matter which platform you prefer, your watchlist is about to get a lot longer.
But even with all these exciting releases, there’s something missing.
Remember when OTT platforms were a space for fresh, original, and experimental content? When they championed small creators and unheard voices? These days, it feels like the focus has shifted. The current wave of big-budget films and mass-market entertainers shows how far OTT has moved from the raw and risky storytelling that once made it special.
This week is packed with stars and blockbusters, but maybe it’s time we also asked: where did all the originals go?
