This Friday’s OTT lineup offers a bit of everything: a gentle hill-station romance in Musafir Cafe, a creeping Spanish thriller The Truthers, Kevin Hart’s wild Miami bender in 72 Hours, the classic Scream trilogy’s return, school-set satire Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya, and multiverse chaos in Stuart Fails To Save The Universe on JioHotstar.
It's been a busy week for streaming, and this Friday's lineup has genuinely got a bit of everything a cosy love story, a thriller that'll mess with your head, a Kevin Hart comedy for people who like their humour loud, and even a multiverse mess courtesy of everyone's favourite comic-book-store owner. If you're trying to figure out what to watch this weekend, here's your shortlist.
Vikrant Massey, Vedika Pinto and Mahima Makwana star in this warm, slow romance about a software engineer who walks away from his corporate life to run a cafe in the hills. It's less about big twists and more about quietly finding yourself again perfect if you're in the mood for something gentle.
A Spanish-language thriller, Ruth comes home after losing her mother, only to realise her father has fallen down a conspiracy-theory rabbit hole and isn't quite the person she remembers. It's a slow burn, but it's the kind of thriller that creeps up on you rather than jump-scaring you.
Kevin Hart plays a 40-something marketing exec who accidentally gets added to a Gen Z bachelor party group chat and, instead of quietly leaving, decides he's going to fit in with the younger crowd. What follows is a three-day bender through Miami. It's loud, chaotic, R-rated, and basically a cringe-comedy fever dream.
It's not new, but newly back. If you'd rather rewatch a slasher classic than commit to something unfamiliar, all three original Scream films just landed on netflix.
Kay Kay Menon and Archana Puran Singh star in this seven-episode comedy-drama about a struggling government school thrown into chaos by a makeover plan. Funny, a little chaotic, and easy to binge with the family.
Kevin Sussman's Stuart Bloom, from The Big Bang Theory, accidentally breaks the multiverse with a gadget he really shouldn't have touched and now he and his girlfriend have to fix it. Its silly in the best way.
