Weekend Binge Recommendations: Sharing Some Recent Indian OTT Favourites

 Hey all,

Sharing some decent and recent Indian OTT content- series and a movie- that we quite liked watching. 



A Thursday on Disney+ Hotstar is the spiritual prequel of the cult movie 'A Wednesday'. It centres around a play school teacher- Yami Gautam- holding 16 of her little students hostage. As the movie unfolds we learn about the reason behind her actions and her extreme demands (wanting to speak face-to-face with the Prime Minister). 

A decent enough movie. Quite taut. But requires loads of suspension of disbelief. 




Rawkto Bilaap on Hoichoi is a Bengali wegseries that is a horror-thriller. A group of seven friends get together for a reunion at a reclusive friend's home. One by one they start dying. Is it a deranged killer? Or something supernatural? 

This show is a little try-hard but quite spooky and atmospheric. A lot has been left up to the viewers' interpretation and so, if you like that kind of a take in fiction, then you'll enjoy this one. 




Mithya on Zee5. Literally just finished watching this web series and it is quite nice. A professor's husband has been murdered and the series looks back over the past few weeks of their lives to unearth the events leading up to his death. 




Byadh on Hoichoi. It is 2001. Someone is murdering sparrows in several villages in Bengal. The Department of Unusual Cases is tasked with looking into it. Who is killing these innocent birds? And why? 

A nicely done show about a different kind of serial killer. Definitely worth watching.
