Thrillers, Love Stories, Unbelievable Action, And Whole Lot More: Weekend Binged Reccos

We are into May, which would have been the beginning of the peak summer. Unfortunately, the coronavirus has blurred all the difference as it’s the same every day. As people continue to stay in lockdown, here is a list of features and series that should be on top of the mind if you plan to start afresh.

Amazon Prime Video:

Two diverse and dramatic films are in offering from Amazon Prime Video, this weekend. Thappad, the Hindi movie starring Tapsee provides a bold feministic take in the current world. After Pink, this is another knock out effort from Tapsee.

Alidu Ulidavaru is a Kannada language psychological horror thriller. If you love movies of this genre, Alidu Ulidavaru brings something unique to the table with a crisp runtime.

Netflix:

As usual, Netflix offers diverse content in a wide variety of genres. Psycho is a Tamil language psycho-thriller starring Udayanidhi Stalin in the lead. It comes from auteur Mysskin, means it should be on the top of ‘to-watch’ list over the weekend.

Into The Night and Extracurricular are for those who crave for something unique irrespective of the genre. These series belong to sci-fi, thriller and action genre with a different approach. If you want to watch fresh content and ideas regardless of how well they are realized, these should be the first choice.

Then there is The Half of It and Never Have I Ever which offer routine and predictable content that is freshly packaged and enjoyable at the same time.

To those who love to watch simple, uplifting and straightforward tales that bring a bittersweet melancholic feeling with it, After Life 2 and The Life Boy are precisely what the doctor ordered for you.

Disney Plus Hotstar, Sun NXT, and Aha Video App:

Baaghi 3, Hundred (Disney Plus Hotstar), Anjaam Pathire (Sun NXT), and Kanulu Kanulu Dochayante (Aha Video App) are some other noteworthy mentions that should be on the list of action and thriller lovers.

Siddartha Toleti: Perennially besotted with movies, I can’t imagine a day going by without watching one. Passion led to film reviews. The evolution has brought me on the digital platform. Alternatively, I love listening to music from the golden era of Hindi cinema, and Maestro Ilaiyaraja.
