To overcome her fear, she goes on a treasure hunt with her husband, Gregg, while scuba diving. When a band of vicious modern-day pirates headed by Jordan kidnaps their boat and holds the crew captive, the scenario rapidly becomes a nightmare. The pirates have a ransom note containing narcotics that they want back, so they send Cassidy and the other tourists scuba diving in shark-infested waters to find it. Cassidy must overcome her fear and battle for survival against both the human villains and the predators hiding beneath the seas as she is caught between the bloodthirsty pirates and the lethal great white sharks. She must draw upon the survival teachings imparted to her by her marine biologist grandfather, Richard Dreyfuss.

Search: The Naina Murder Case - October 10 (JioHotstar [OTTplay Premium])

The crime thriller Search: The Naina Murder Case follows the police as they try to solve the grisly and publicised death of a teenage girl. Veteran but troubled investigator ACP Sanyukta Das (Konkona Sensharma), who is considering quitting the force to save her failing marriage, is assigned the case. Without much enthusiasm, Sanyukta reluctantly accepts this last assignment with rookie police officer ACP Jai Kanwal. Little does she know that this case will lead them into a labyrinth of political cover-ups, family problems, and hidden truths. With the help of social media, they will be able to uncover or hide their motives, and everyone associated with the victim has their own hidden agenda. The critically successful Danish crime thriller The Killing ("Forbrydelsen" in Danish) serves as the official inspiration for this series, which takes place in India.

Sthal - October 10 (ZEE5 [OTTplay Premium])

As a frank and unfiltered critique of rural India's entrenched patriarchy and the arranged marriage system, Sthal is a powerful social drama. The story revolves around Savita, a young woman from a cotton-farming family in the Maharashtra village of Dongargaon who is studying sociology for her Bachelor of Arts degree and hopes to work for the government. The societal pressure to marry her off, especially from her impoverished farmer father, consumes her family and makes them believe that a marriage is her only possible future, despite her dreams. As the story progresses, we accompany Savita through the degrading ordeal of being paraded, examined, and evaluated based on outside characteristics like her height and skin colour—all the while her inner voice and aspirations go unnoticed. The film effectively brings attention to the societal hypocrisy, dowry system, and gender inequality that are inherent in the matchmaking process. It ultimately depicts a sharp contrast between Savita's traditional upbringing and the harsh reality of women's empowerment that she faces in her classroom.

Swim to Me – October 10 (Netflix)

A powerful family thriller and psychological drama set in Chile, Swim To Me is based on the book The Clean (Limpia) by Alia Trabucco Zerán. Estela, a teenage maid who has relocated from her rural hometown to the wealthy suburb of Santiago, and the six-year-old girl Julia, whom she is employed to watch both day and night, form an increasingly intense and reliant bond throughout the film. Estela and Julia develop an emotionally reliant attachment as they create a profound, hidden world together over the course of a tumultuous summer, erasing the lines between their different social classes. The story takes its time examining themes of class, invisibility, and emotional blindness, leading up to a tragic "inevitable outcome" as the gulf between their two worlds widens.

The Last Frontier – October 10 (Apple TV+)

The story follows Jason Clarke's Frank Remnick, the sole United States Marshal in charge of a small, rough village in the middle of nowhere, Alaska. When a prison transport plane crashes in the wilderness, releasing dozens of dangerous and violent inmates, Remnick's authority is thrown into turmoil. Remnick starts to suspect that the crash was not an accident but rather the premeditated beginning of a much darker plot with global political ramifications as he strives to defend his village from the escaping prisoners. Featuring a massive escape against the merciless Alaskan setting, the series is billed as a winter thriller that combines a manhunt with a conspiracy.

The Woman in Cabin 10 – October 9 (Netflix)

The story follows Keira Knightley's Laura "Lo" Blacklock as she covers the inaugural trip of a small, ultra-luxury cruise ship as it sails through the Norwegian fjords. Lo is roused from her slumber one night on the ship by a commotion and sees a passenger being tossed overboard from Cabin 10, which is adjacent to hers. On the other hand, she is informed that the woman she saw was alone in the cabin and that everyone on board is safe when she reports the crime. Lo is haunted by a disturbing predicament as she battles isolation, anxiety, and traumatic experiences. She is convinced she saw a murder, but no one believes her, leading her to doubt her sanity. Lo starts her inquiry, driven by her determination to find out what happened, but her life is immediately endangered when she discovers that a killer is still on the cramped ship.

Victoria Beckham – October 9 (Netflix)

The three-part documentary series Victoria Beckham delves deeply into the life of fashion mogul Victoria Beckham, following her rise from what she calls her "awkward" youth to her current position as a personal and business trailblazer. From her meteoric rise to fame as Posh Spice in The Spice Girls to the enormous obstacles and triumphs of constructing her high-end fashion and beauty empire—including the early scepticism she encountered in the demanding fashion industry—this series uses exclusive interviews with Victoria, her husband David, and her close circle to trace her journey. With her renowned, sharp, and self-deprecating sense of humour on full display, the story delves into the emotional and high-stakes process of getting ready for one of her biggest fashion shows, revealing her ambition, work ethic, and the immense pressure she feels to succeed and make her family proud.

War 2 - October 9 (Netflix)

An intense espionage thriller, War 2 (the sixth instalment in the YRF Spy Universe) follows RAW agent Kabir Dhaliwal (Hrithik Roshan) as he goes undercover, letting himself be branded a traitor, to infiltrate the formidable Kali Cartel, which is trying to seize control of the Indian government. An elite special forces officer named Vikram Chelapathi (Jr NTR), who is secretly Raghu—Kabir's childhood friend and former batchmate—holding a grudge against what he views as a betrayal in the past—makes the mission extremely personal. In the midst of a labyrinth of betrayals that compels Kabir to do immoral acts, the film climaxes in a dramatic showdown between the two old friends, illuminated by their shared history and ultimately compelling them to make a choice between their personal grudges and their patriotic obligations.
