An incredible tidal wave of worldwide storytelling, spanning from Regency-era romance to high-octane modern thrillers, will hit OTT in the last week of January 2026. Between the gritty espionage of Ranveer Singh in Dhurandhar and the much-anticipated return of Bridgerton Season 4 on Netflix, which explores Benedict's captivating "Cinderella-style" quest, there is a deep emphasis on characters torn between their personal desires and the daunting weight of fate. From the nostalgic, poetic allure of Gustaakh Ishq to the psychological depth of Daldal, a murder drama set in Mumbai, every title this week explores the "quagmire" of human feeling in unique ways.

The streaming scene is getting hotter with star-studded action comedies and high-stakes reality competitions, in addition to written dramas. Akshay Kumar adds an "Indian" touch to Wheel of Fortune, while The 50 promises a fierce battle of social intelligence within an enigmatic Mumbai palace. If you're looking for a genre-bending comedy with a lighter tone, Nivin Pauly's "horror-comedy" Sarvam Maya is a terrific pick, and The Wrecking Crew with Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista is the ideal adrenaline fix. Devkhel explores the enigmatic aspects of coastal Maharashtra, while Wonder Man provides commentary on meta-superheroes. This week's entertainment offers a diverse range of options to suit every mood and demography.

Shrinking Season 3 picks up months after the forgiveness-themed events of the previous finale and moves on to the melancholy reality of "moving forward" as Jimmy Laird (Jason Segel) tries to rebuild his life without his wife's death defining it. In addition to dealing with his estranged father Randy's (Jeff Daniels) return and his tentative new romance with Sofi (Cobie Smulders), Jimmy also has to be ready for the "empty nest" that will be left behind when Alice (Lukita Maxwell) leaves for college. At the same time, everything is changing for the rest of the Pasadena "found family": Dr Paul Rhoades (Harrison Ford) is dealing with the visible and brutal progression of his Parkinson's disease, which brings him closer to his new friend Gerry (Michael J. Fox). Gaby (Jessica Williams) is reevaluating her career path following a patient crisis, and Brian (Michael Urie) is adjusting to the chaotic joys of being a new parent.

The 50 - February 1 (JioHotstar [OTTplay Premium])

The 50 is the high-stakes Indian version of the famous French reality show Les Cinquante, which reunites fifty famous faces from films, TV, and social media. Players confront unrelenting mental and physical tests under the watchful eye of an enigmatic game master known only as "The Lion" in this reality competition set in a luxurious, expansive Mumbai castle. Unlike most such shows, this one does away with the kitchen, the set rules, and any room for comfort.

Social intelligence, strategic alliances, and the capacity to manage a constant bombardment of twists are crucial to survival.

The Wrecking Crew - January 27 (Prime Video)

Wonder Man – January 28 (JioHotstar [OTTplay Premium])

A meta-comic character study, Wonder Man follows actor Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) as he navigates a dystopian Hollywood where the "Doorman Clause" bans actors with extraordinary abilities. Simon, who is secretly a superhero with superhuman strength and explosive talents, tries out for the lead role in a lavish remake of an in-universe superhero film called "Wonder Man" while he waits for his big break. Along the way, he befriends and mentors the eccentric, recently retired performer Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley), who is under covert pressure from the DODC to reveal "enhanced" individuals. Taking a more realistic and humorous approach than the usual CGI-heavy fights, the show discusses Simon's internal conflict as he tries to find his place in a world that demands artificiality.
