Latest OTT Releases in India (May 2026)Reviews
-
'Pagalpanti': Not 'Pagal' enough
Okay, you're not supposed to look for a story. They don't want you to look for logic either
-
'Aamis': Love & Meat In Shocking Embrace
It is in the fitness of things in this bizarre but persuasive exposition on flesh-eating obsessions, that the search for love, or for a ‘meet', merges into a growing obsession with meat that finally culminates in a horrific crime that is repugnant and in many ways, deeply offensive.
-
'21 Bridges' is slick but generic
Televison Director Brian Kirk's maiden feature film "21 Bridges" is designed by amalgamating a pumped-up cop-versus-criminal chase and beat-the-clock crime thriller. It is slickly mounted, action packed and dark. The tale unfurls one night in Manhattan.
-
'Remember Amnesia': Actors elevate this rom-com
‘Remember Amnesia' is an Indie film in English, written and directed by Dr Ravi Godse. Despite having suspense and romance in equal measure, it lags way lower in the rung as a rom-com.
-
'Frozen II': A typical family entertainer
Compared to its prequel of 2013, the tale of "Frozen II" is more entertaining than dazzling, and fluid than solid. It has all the trappings of a Disney film, yet it is not as exciting as the first edition.
-
'The Crown' S3: Royal rush returns
Season three of "The Crown" could well be the trickiest of all that we have seen so far, many had apprehended. This is where the story takes a leap, necessitating a radical overhaul in the cast.
-
'One Mic Stand': Of Shashi Tharoor's wit and little else
By Vinayak Chakravorty
-
'House Arrest' is a disgrace from Netflix
Ali Fazal is an affable actor. He brings a certain charm, reminiscent of Shashi Kapoor, into all his roles. But how much charm can you bring into a cheerless sullen role of a man who suffers from a serious social disorder which prevents him from stepping out of his home? And then you have Jim Sarbh as your best friend. Why would you want to go out?
-
'Marjaavaan': Mush, mayhem & retro mess
By Vinayak Chakravorty
-
'Charlie's Angels': A spirited eye-candy
This 118-minute, hurricane-paced spy thriller is the latest big-screen spin on the 1970s TV series and a pair of films that released in the early 2000s. It is a spirited eye-candy with a strong feminist streak but light on content.
-
'Motichoor Chaknachoor': Humour in a time warp
The biggest killjoy for a joke is a situation where you have figured out its punchline long before it ends. "Motichoor Chaknachoor" suffers from that problem. It doesn't take you more than 10 minutes to figure out where the film is headed, which is sad because the film looked like a winning concept on paper at least.
-
'Ford v Ferrari' hits the right spot
Based on facts for the battle of supremacy in the mid-1960s between the two titular automotive giants, director James Mangold's "Ford v Ferrari" is a one-dimensional, old-fashioned period sports drama that balances thrills, laughs and emotions, in equal measure.
-
'Doctor Sleep': Suspenseful but not scary
Director Mike Flanagan's "Doctor Sleep" is neither excellent nor outright sloppy, but it does make for an interesting viewing experience. It is tense and suspenseful in parts but not scary or frightening at all.
-
'Bala': Bald is gold for Ayushmann
Bollywood's Mr Disruptor is at it again, rewriting the rules of what the Hindi mainstream hero can dare to do on screen.
-
'Satellite Shankar' is for masala movie lovers
By Vinayak Chakravorty
-
'Last Christmas': Homage to George Michael
Director Paul Feig's "Last Christmas" is for romance junkies. Packed with frothy soppiness, it is a rehash of the clumsiest-meets-cute formula.
-
'The King' Is Netflix's Stab At Costumed Glory
Impressively mounted and poised gracefully on a high moral ground, "The King" is everything a historical epic ought to be. Its earnest stab at costumed resplendence as represented in the British royalty's penchant for power usurpation, is no doubt commendable.
-
'Modern Love' is the best love anthology on OTT
Easily the best series I've seen on the OTT platform, "Modern Love" is an ambrosial anthology of eight episodes portraying love in all its splendour, sometimes slender, sometimes hard, but always tender and revealing, each episode has the stand-alone emotional strength of being a full-length feature film.
