The pandemic is still raging, the drudge of WFH continues and the only glimmer of hope that’s breaking the monotony is films and shows that are releasing every week. This week has an exciting line-up across OTT platforms and languages including acclaimed films such as Minari and Karnan to festive releases such as Salman Khan’s Radhe.
Here are OTTplay’s fresh recommendations for this week
Directed by Lee Isaav Chung, Minari is a drama that is loosely based on the filmmaker’s experiences with the life of immigrants. Set in the 1980s, the plot follows a family of immigrants from South Korea who are trying to survive in the rural United States. Minari earned six nominations at the 93rd Academy Awards, with Youn Yuh-jung becoming the first Korean woman to win the Best Supporting Actress award.
This French sci-fi thriller is the story of a woman who wakes up in a medical cryo unit, with no memory of how she got there. What’s worse is that she cannot remember anything about herself either and has to jog her memory to save her life, for her oxygen is running out. Oxygen stars Mélanie Laurent, Malik Zidi and Mathieu Amalric.
Prabhu Deva’s Radhe is the one film Salman Khan fans have been eagerly waiting for. Marking the actor’s OTT debut, Radhe is the Hindi remake of Korean film The Outlaws. The film also stars Randeep Hooda and Disha Patani.
If 18 episodes of season one of this animated anthology series were not enough for you, Tim Miller is back to delight you with another eight in season 2. Based on the previous season, it is apparent that the second season of Love, Death and & Robots will be equally NSFW with plenty of violence, gore and incredibly futuristic plot lines.
This Dhanush, Rajisha Vijayan-starrer is already hailed as one of the best films to release this year. Now, the Tamil action-drama will be making its OTT premiere. The plot follows the eponymous character who advocates for the rights of the marginalised in his village and focuses on themes of caste violence, untouchability and police brutality.
Bengali musical-thriller film Tangra Blues is the tale of a musician and a band-leader who come together to provide an opportunity for musically talented children living in the slum to rise to the top. The film also touches on politics and poverty in India.
All engineering students know this to be true - the belief that admission into the Indian Institute of Technology is the mantra to life-long success. The documentary, featuring comedian Biswa Kalyan Rath, is a glimpse into the life of students who are crumbling under the pressure of being in IIT Kharagpur.
