This week’s streaming slate feels split between stories that want to say something and content that just wants your attention. There’s a look at India’s space mission and a few familiar formulas dressed up as new releases. This list looks at what actually rewards your time and what is easy to skip without regret.
Space Gen: Chandrayaan
Streaming on: JioHotstar
A high-ambition science drama that traces India’s lunar mission through the eyes of the scientists who built it. Less about rockets and more about pressure and politics. What makes it stand out is how it humanises national achievement without turning it into a plastic spectacle.
Our verdict: Watch it
Tere Ishk Mein
Streaming on: Netflix
A romantic drama led by Dhanush and Kriti Sanon that leans into obsession, heartbreak, and emotional fallout rather than comfort romance. It’s messy, intense, and driven largely by performance rather than plot twists, which gives it weight beyond genre expectations.
Our verdict: Watch it
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
Streaming on: JioHotstar
Set decades before Game of Thrones, this fantasy series follows Ser Duncan the Tall and his young squire Egg. Instead of dragons and shock value, it focuses on honour, friendship, and small-scale conflicts that shape history. The series is currently rated above 95% which is the highest among any GoT series. This is incredible and it will be getting a lot of attention.
Our verdict: Watch it
Cheekatilo
Streaming on: Amazon Prime Video
A Telugu crime thriller centred on a true-crime podcaster investigating a murder that pulls her into a familiar serial-killer maze. Despite solid performances and atmosphere, it sticks too closely to genre templates without offering a fresh angle.
Our verdict: Skip it
Sirai
Streaming on: ZEE5
A Tamil courtroom and crime drama that starts with a routine prisoner escort but develops into a layered look at justice and moral compromise. The storytelling is grounded and will most certainly entertain you.
Our verdict: Watch it
Mark
Streaming on: JioHotstar
An action thriller built around a hardened cop dragged back into violence by personal loss. It doesn’t pretend to reinvent the genre, but its tight pacing and emotional stakes make it effective.
Our verdict: Watch it
Die My Love
Streaming on: Mubi
A dark relationship-driven drama that has gained attention from the audience. Starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson in the lead roles, the movie talks about postpartum depression and relationships in a way that will surely amaze you.
Our verdict: Watch it
Mastii 4
Streaming on: ZEE5
The fourth entry in the adult-comedy franchise that once thrived on shock humour and chaos. At this stage, it feels more like repetition which is leaning on nostalgia instead of invention.
Our verdict: Skip it
Bharat Ke Super Founders
Streaming on: MX Player
A business reality series spotlighting Indian entrepreneurs and startup stories. While inspirational in intent, it follows a familiar motivational formula that we have seen in so many other OTT shows lately.
Our verdict: Skip it
45
Streaming on: ZEE5
Starring Shiva Rajkumar, Upendra, Raj B. Shetty, Kaustubha Mani, and Jisshu Sengupta, the fantasy movie is a nice attempt by the director Arun Janya. It is nowhere near perfection but can be given a chance.
Our verdict: Watch it
