Diwali Weekend Binge List: What To Watch on Netflix, AppleTV, Prime Video, Hoichoi

 Hello, hello!

Diwali is almost here! 

Happy Dhanteras to everyone celebrating! 

If you are planning on doing something low-key this weekend, we've got you! Here are some recommendations of movies and web series that you can watch this weekend...

1. 20th Century Girl (Korean Movie | Netflix) 

Remember being in love for the very first time? Or having a massive crush on someone in school? Or just the insane shenanigans that you and your best friend got up to? If you love reminiscing about the past and enjoy nostalgic content, then 20th Century Girl is the film for you! 

Cute, fun, funny and heartwarming, it is just the ticket for the slightly cold nights that we are seeing in India! :) 

2. Shining Girls (AppleTV)

Based on the eponymous book, Shining Girls, set in Chicago in 1992 follows Kirby, the sole survivor of a brutal serial killer, who kills smart, kind and talented women. Basically, 'shining girls'. Kirby teams up with a washed up crime reporter to track down this wily killer before he kills some other lovely woman. 

3. X (Prime Video) 

We started watching X on a  whim because it looked like a slasher film, which we enjoy! :) However, it turned out to be quite entertaining and fun and so, if you are looking for a slasher flick with good performances, then this is the one for you! 

4. Through the Glass Darkly (Prime Video) 

When a teenager goes missing in a small town, distraught single mother, with a missing child of her own, hopes to track down the perpetrator and, in the process, find her own daughter or what happened to her. 

A nice, taut and fast-paced movie that is definitely worth watching if you enjoy crime thrillers. 

5. The King's Jester (Netflix) 

Hasan Minhaj is back and, in this comedy special, is dishing out some amazing insights and petty justice! Hilarious, thought provoking and full of delicious take-downs, this special is a must-watch! 

6. Byomkesh Hotyamancha 

The latest Byomkesh movie is based on a half-written story, which was completed by the director and writer of this movie. So, the upside of this is that if you are an avid reader/ viewer of Byomkesh Bakshi, then at least you won't already know who the killer is! :) 

When the director/ leading man is killed on stage during a modern reinterpretation of the virat pava of the Mahabharata, Byomkesh and Ajit have to find and bring this daring killer to justice! 

So, that were some recommendations of what you could watch this weekend! If you do watch any of these, do let us know on the 'gram! :) 

Have a lovely weekend, folks!
