Weekend OTT Binge Recommendations

 Hello, hello,

Another week has almost come to an end and with it the hot-hot-hot month of April! How is it almost-May?! Time does fly! 

Hope all of you are staying indoors and safe during this unprecedented heat wave that we're having! 

If you are spending this weekend indoors, as you should, here are a few movies and web series that you can binge! 


1. Reacher 


Based on the very popular titular character in several of Lee Child's best selling books, Reacher, is an action-based crime thriller. 

Jack Reacher, a retired military police investigator, spends his days moving from one small town in America to another to live a free, "hobo-like" life. He finds himself in the small town of Margrave, Georgia, where one of his favourites blues singer was supposed to have died. His arrival in the small town coincides with two murders for which he is arrested. Reacher, now, has to clear his name and also get to the bottom of the mysterious going ons in this small town. 

A fast-paced murder mystery for those of you who enjoy action-based crime thrillers. Reacher is streaming on Prime Video. 


2. Gullak 3



The adorable and very relatable Mishra parivar is back with more of their bittersweet, heartwarming shenanigans! Do I even need to say more?! 

This is a must-watch!!! Gullak Season 3 is streaming on SonyLiv. 


3. Kaun Pravin Tambe?



A few years ago, a bowler made his debut for Rajasthan Royals at the age of 41. Yep, you read that right, 41! Everyone had the same question on their minds- Kaun Pravin Tambe? Who is this guy and why did it take him so long to make his cricket debut?! 

This movie is a beautiful, inspiring and moving biopic about a man, who never quit on his dream for playing cricket at a national and international level! With fantastic performances, heartwarming relationships and oodles of inspiration, Kaun Pravin Tambe, streaming on Disney+ Hotstar, is an absolute must-watch! 


4. London Files


A fast-paced murder mystery with an interesting premise! 

When popular news anchor Amar Roy's daughter goes missing, it is assumed that it has got something to do with his support of the controversial Anti-Immigration Bill. However, when police detective, Om Singh, starts investigating this disappearance, he unearths a conspiracy far greater than what anyone had thought of and one that is closely connected to a tragedy in his own past. 

London Files is a pretty decent murder mystery/ crime thriller and is streaming on Voot. 


5. Guilty Minds 



If you are a fan of courtroom/ legal dramas, then this is a good one to watch! Each episode features a different case but the same set of lawyers fighting on opposite sides. The topics covered in these cases are quite interesting and we found ourselves debating the rights and wrongs of each. Always a good thing when shows get you thinking, right? 

Guilty Minds is streaming on Prime Video. 


Hope you find these recommendations useful! If you watch any of these, do tag us and let us know!
