As the country dives deep into election fervor and IPL matches keep fans on the edge of their seats, big-screen releases have taken a back seat. However, OTT platforms are not slowing down, offering a plethora of movies and series that promise to keep audiences glued to their screens. This week, while theaters are quieter, OTT platforms are buzzing with activity.
Among the notable releases, "Gitanjali Again" is making a comeback, promising to haunt audiences just like it did in theaters. Also, the Telugu-dubbed movie "Aavesham" featuring Fahadh Faasil, the celebrated villain from "Pushpa," is set to stream.
Netflix is lining up international content including the English movie "Mother of the Bride" and the Turkish series "Thank You Next." Meanwhile, local platforms like Aha are gearing up to release regional hits such as the Tamil movie "Romeo" on Aha Tamil.
Here's a quick roundup of what's streaming where in the second week of May:
Netflix: 'Mother of the Bride', 'Bodkin', and 'Thank You Next' all set for May 9.
Aha: 'Gitanjali Again' (Telugu) starts streaming on May 8.
