This week is going to be very interesting on OTT. There are going to be tons of new releases, and we have chosen 7 titles for you to watch. Out of them, we are highly excited for the SonyLIV series.
Heads of State
John Cena and Idris Elba crash‑land into chaos in Heads of State, sprinting across continents with Priyanka Chopra Jonas after Air Force One is shot down. The action comedy will be released on Prime Video on July 2. This is a film very similar to G20 that would show American soft power, just that the UK is also a part of the same.
The Sandman Season 2 Volume 1
Kicking off on Netflix July 3, The Sandman Season 2 Volume 1 sends Dream through fresh season while Lucifer schemes. Tom Sturridge and Gwendoline Christie anchor richer mythology and sharper emotion.
Thug Life
Thug Life, streaming on Netflix July 3, brings Kamal Haasan back as a Delhi don in free fall. Mani Ratnam choreographs betrayals, bloodlines, and A. R. Rahman beats, hoping home viewers forgive the film’s disastrous box office. The film was initially set for 8 8-week OTT window, but everything fell apart like a cardhouse when the reviews dropped.
Kaalidhar Laapata
Kaalidhar Laapata lands on ZEE5 July 4 with Abhishek Bachchan and plucky eight‑year‑old Daivik Baghela wandering while lost. Director Madhumita balances heartbreak and humour in this Hindi remake of Tamil gem KD. Abhishek has given some good films on OTT recently. We hope this movie just adds to the list.
The Good Wife
Also on July 4, JioHotstar bows The Good Wife, where Priyamani trades homemaking for high‑stakes defence law after her husband’s scandal. The Tamil remake keeps the original’s moral bruises while adding local courtroom grit.
The Hunt: The Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Case
On SonyLIV the same day, Nagesh Kukunoor’s The Hunt: The Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Case tracks Amit Sial’s special team through a tense ninety‑day chase, blending real files with procedural urgency. This can be a very tricky and complex show that also demands political maturity. Let’s see how SonyLIV has handled it.
Uppu Kappurambu
Prime Video drops Telugu satire Uppu Kappurambu on July 4, sending Keerthy Suresh and Suhas scrambling when their village cemetery runs out of space. The setting fuels quirky humour and pointed digs at red‑tape politics.
