Friday OTT Releases (March 20, 2026)
A Different Man (Netflix)
A Different Man (2024), a psychological thriller with darkly comedic tones from A24, is directed by Aaron Schimberg and features Sebastian Stan as Edward. Edward, who suffers from neurofibromatosis, undergoes a radical facial transformation in the hope of a new life, but he soon realises that changing his outward appearance cannot erase his inner struggle.
Border 2 (Netflix)
Border 2 (2026) is a gripping war epic that builds on the 1997 classic, centring on the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War. Starring Sunny Deol and Diljit Dosanjh, the film combines large-scale, modern combat sequences with heartfelt, emotional storytelling. Praised for its patriotic themes, it has received mixed reactions regarding its CGI and runtime.
Chiraiya (JioHotstar)
Chiraiya is a Hotstar Specials web series from SVF Entertainment, directed by Shashant Shah. Starring Divya Dutta, the series delves into entrenched societal issues, offering a raw and thought-provoking look at the dynamics within Indian households.
Dead of Winter (Lionsgate Play)
Dead of Winter (2025) is a thriller-action film directed by Brian Kirk. The movie stars Emma Thompson as a resourceful, unconventional action hero, earning praise for its character-driven storytelling. Set against a cold, desolate Minnesota landscape (filmed in Finland), the film’s tense and intimate atmosphere has drawn comparisons to a more personal, suspenseful version of Fargo.
Deadloch Season 2 (Prime Video)
Deadloch Season 2 moves from its original "Tassie Noir" tone to a "Tropical Gothic" setting in Darwin and the remote town of Barra Creek. Detectives Dulcie Collins and Eddie Redcliffe return to solve the murder of Eddie’s former partner, while dealing with a tangled new case that involves indigenous rangers and crocodile-infested terrain.
Jatadhara (ZEE5 - OTTplay Premium)
Jatadhara (2025) is a mystical action-thriller starring Sudheer Babu and Sonakshi Sinha. The film explores the clash between belief and logic through the story of a ‘Dhana Pisachini’ (wealth demon). Although its cinematography, visual effects, and acting have been praised, its uneven pacing makes it a film worth watching once.
Kasargod Embassy (ZEE5 - OTTplay Premium)
Kasaragod Embassy is a 2026 Malayalam-language crime thriller series. The seven-episode series is directed by Atish M. Nair and produced by Legendary Movies, which highlights the dangerous dark world of a massive fake passport ring active in the northern districts of Kerala in the late 2000s.
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (Netflix)
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) is a feature-length film set in 1940, following a retired Tommy Shelby as he is drawn back into action against fascists during World War II. The story explores inheritance and generational trauma, as Tommy confronts his reckless son, Duke Shelby, who has dangerously entangled the family business with Nazi-linked fraudsters.
Seetha Payanam (Sun NXT - OTTplay Premium)
Seetha Payanam (2026), directed by Arjun Sarja, is a romantic road drama starring Aishwarya Arjun as Seetha, a chef who narrowly survives a deadly workshop explosion. Realising that small delays on the road saved her life, she unknowingly sets out to thank the people who saved her.
