Hello, hello!
It is Friday (the 13th, at that) and I hope you are winding down your week and looking forward to the weekend!
If you are planning on spending this hot, hot weekend at home, then we have some OTT series and movie recommendations for you! Let's get into it, shall we?
1. Jhund
A fantastic, heartwarming and inspiring movie about retired sports teacher, Vijay Barse's, journey to create Slum Soccer, an NGO that holds national-level football tournaments for slum-dwelling youth!
Directed by the acclaimed director of Sairat and with realistic, moving, lovely performances, Jhund is an absolute must-watch! Jhund is streaming on Zee5.
2. Anantham (Tamil)
Anantham is a Tamil anthology series that tells the stories of various, different, families that have lived in the same art deco-style house in Chennai from the mid-1960s to present day. Covering different situations, challenges, emotions and struggles, Anantham has something that resonates with everyone.
Anantham is streaming on Zee5 and is available with English subtitles.
3. The Baby
The Baby is a horror-comedy series which follows the misadventures of a single, baby-hating woman when a baby, quite literally, lands on her lap.
Part-laugh riot, part really spooky, The Baby is really fun and is streaming on Disney+ Hotstar.
4. Our Father
Imagine you want to get IVF- an expensive, invasive, challenging treatment- to have a baby. Or imagine you are a single mother, who wants to have a baby using donor sperm. You have this baby and decades later, the child finds out that their father is actually... the doctor! The very same fertility specialist that women and families trusted used his own sperm to impregnate over 90 women! Yup, 90! 90 that we know of!
This documentary speaks to some of the offspring, their parents, this guy's associates to show why what he did was so, so wrong!
Our Father is streaming on Netflix!
5. 7 Lives of Lea
When 18 year old, Lea, is about to overdose, she stumbles upon a skeleton. A skeleton that has remained buried for over 30 years. The next morning she wakes up to find herself in the body of Ismael, the victim! And thus, over a period of 7 days, split between the summer of 1991 and 2021, begins Lea's quest of finding out who killed Ismael and how and if she can stop it.
A really nicely done, gripping show!
7 Lives of Lea is a French show and streaming on Netflix.
These are the shows that we are planning on watching this weekend!
