Every week brings a fresh rush of content across platforms. With so many big titles dropping together, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. So here is a guide to the top ten streaming picks of the week, and also a guide to help you decide what deserves your time.
Stranger Things Season 5
Streaming on: Netflix
The final season returns to Hawkins as the characters face their most dangerous threat. The emotional stakes are higher, the scale is bigger, and the sense of nostalgia remains strong. It ties together years of storytelling while giving fans the closure they hoped for. The series is getting very positive response and it may very well break all the records.
Our verdict: Watch it
A Nice Boy
Streaming on: Prime Video
This romantic dramedy follows a doctor introducing his artist fiancé to his traditional Indian family. The culture clash brings humour and the performances by Karan Soni and Jonathan Groff make the film sincere and charming. Originally the film was titled A Nice Indian Boy but CBFC asked the makers to modify it.
Our verdict: Watch it
Aaryan
Streaming on: Netflix
A crime thriller about an unsuccessful writer who gets pulled into a dangerous world of secrets, betrayal, and violence. He goes on to execute a perfect crime, but there are police behind him and that causes the whole cat and mouse chase.
Our verdict: Watch it
Ekaki
Streaming on: YouTube
Ashish Chanchlani steps into long format storytelling with this horror series about friends trapped in a creepy villa. Despite a promising setup and atmospheric moments, it feels repetitive and lacks any sort of depth.
Our verdict: Skip it
Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari
Streaming on: Netflix
A romantic comedy about two mismatched lovers navigating usual big family expectations. Though energetic and glossy, the plot feels predictable and loses steam quickly. It is nothing that you have not watched before.
Our verdict: Skip it
Good Boy
Streaming on: Prime Video
A refreshing horror tale told entirely from a dog’s point of view as he tries to protect his owner from a sinister presence. The concept is bold, the atmosphere is gripping, and the emotional notes land beautifully. Jackie Shroff’s Teri Meherbaniyaan must be feeling proud of how visionary it was.
Our verdict: Watch it
Aan Paavam Pollathathu
Streaming on: JioHotstar
A lively mix of humour, family tension, and even a food for thought. Basically, it is about a young man who is struggling with the independent spirit of his wife. He is not used to that and thus it creates some tension.
Our verdict: Watch it
Brat
Streaming on: Prime Video
A Kannada action entertainer about a young man dragged into the messy world of crime and rivalry. While it starts strong, the storytelling becomes uneven and loses impact by the final stretch.
Our verdict: Skip it
Regai Season 1
Streaming on: ZEE5
A Tamil crime drama that follows a police officer navigating a series of dark, interconnected crimes. The premise is compelling, but the execution lacks tightness and emotional grip.
Our verdict: Skip it
Mass Jathara
Streaming on: Netflix
An action packed Telugu drama centered on a police officer dealing with conflict in a remote region. The visuals are striking, but the writing falls short of its ambition. We highly recommend you to skip it.
Our verdict: Skip it
