With the Independence Day weekend rolling in and time in hand, the new movie and TV series releases certainly are not holding back. Whether you are in the mood for something patriotic or simply a good time to make this weekend worth it, these are all the recommendations you need to enjoy this weekend.
Jurassic World Rebirth (Prime Video)– The hugely popular franchise is back with yet another instalment. This time following the events from Jurassic World Dominion, the movie stars the likes of Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali as the world deals with the fallout of the last movie. Although not critically appreciated, it serves its fans well and would continue to do the same on the small screen. (Watch It)
Court Kacheri (SonyLIV)– Param Mathur’s unconsented inheritance of his prowess over the law is what he has to turn to as he goes through the unbalanced dynamic between truth and power in the court. Although it can get boring in the middle, TVF elements keep you entertained. (Watch It)

Alien: Earth (JioHotstar)– The Alien franchise hits its first original series with Alien: Earth with Ridley Scott as the executive director. Set two years before the first Alien movie, it dabbles with themes fans of the franchise are familiar with, such as human greed and fallacy as the characters yet again face down the horrifying and brutal xenomorphs.

Vyasanasametham Bandhumithradhikal (Manorama Mix)– This movie follows the events of a funeral function as the characters confront the ensuing chaos. Though the narrative clearly shows heart and humour, it fails to do so in a way that makes it stand out amongst its peers. (Skip It)

Tehran (Zee5)– This action thriller delves into the Iran-Israeli conflict with twists of its own. Starring John Abraham, this movie blends action with an intelligent and thought-provoking narrative making for an incredible weekend watch. (Watch It)
A Hero (Mubi)– Critically acclaimed and a must watch. This movie tells the tale of Rahim Soltani as he navigates a way out of his debt following his temporary release from prison. With its brilliant writing and acting, this multiple award-nominated movie is worth your time. (Watch It)
