Buckle up, entertainment junkies — July 17 and 18 are turning OTT into a battlefield of bangers. Whether you're in the mood for a heart-thumping crime thriller, a courtroom face-off, political betrayals, or simply a good laugh, this week’s OTT line-up across JioHotstar, Netflix, Prime Video, ZEE5, and ManoramaMAX brings something for every kind of binge-lover. And trust us, your weekend plans are about to write themselves.
DNA (JioHotstar – July 17)
Atharvaa and Nimisha Sajayan headline this tightly woven Tamil thriller from director Nelson Venkatesan. DNA plunges into the corrupt underbelly of hospitals, where lives are exchanged like commodities and identities are never what they seem. With a sharp narrative pace and emotionally loaded performances, the film probes themes of greed, medical malpractices, and the ethical price of survival. Produced by Jayanthi Ambethkumar, this socially relevant thriller is now streaming exclusively on JioHotstar.
Special OPS: Season 2 (JioHotstar – July 18)
RAW officer Himmat Singh, played by Kay Kay Menon, returns with even sharper instincts and a deadlier mission. This season escalates into the world of cyber-terrorism, where enemies aren’t just hiding in shadows — they’re sitting behind keyboards. With Karan Tacker and Vinay Pathak reprising their roles, Special OPS 2 dives into murky geopolitical games and backstabbing espionage. Expect betrayals, bombshells, and edge-of-your-seat drama, all streaming on July 18.
Wall-To-Wall (Netflix – July 18)
Wall-To-Wall isn’t just a thriller — it’s an anxiety trip. Directed by Kim Tae-joon and Sharon S. Park, the Korean mystery stars Kang Ha-neul, Yeom Hye-ran, and Seo Hyun-woo. Woo-seong finally buys his dream apartment, only to see it morph into a claustrophobic hellscape. Financial ruin creeps in alongside eerie noises from the neighbouring walls. What starts as a real estate dream turns into a full-blown psychological spiral.
Sattamum Needhiyum (ZEE5 – July 18)
In this hard-hitting courtroom drama, Sundaramoorthy — a soft-spoken lawyer — must dig deep for courage when a self-immolation protest forces him to take on a powerful legal case. As he defends a grieving father’s desperate act, Sattamum Needhiyum examines the cracks in India’s legal machinery and the blurred lines between justice and revenge. Led by Saravanan, Namritha, Aroul D Shankar, and Shanmugham, the series captures moral turmoil with powerful storytelling.
Kuberaa (Prime Video – July 18)
Directed by Sekhar Kammula, Kuberaa brings together a dream cast — Dhanush, Nagarjuna Akkineni, and Rashmika Mandanna — for a gripping tale of ambition and conscience. As politics, power, and justice collide, three characters chase redemption in a system riddled with compromise. Packed with dramatic punch and scored by Devi Sri Prasad, Kuberaa walks the tightrope between mass appeal and thought-provoking substance. It’s available in Tamil and other Indian languages on Prime Video.
Bhairavam (ZEE5 – July 18)
Temple land worth ₹1,000 crore becomes the epicenter of greed, betrayal, and political manipulation in this action-loaded rural drama. Childhood friends — played by Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas, Nara Rohith, and Manchu Manoj — find their bond shredded by power games. Directed by Vijay Kanakamedala, Bhairavam uses a small-town setting to unpack big themes: loyalty, corruption, and how money poisons even the deepest friendships.
Asthra (ManoramaMAX – July 18)
Dark, brooding, and slow-burning, Asthra dives into the heart of Wayanad’s criminal underworld. Directed by and starring Prem Kallat, the crime thriller also features Kalabhavan Shajon, Santosh Keezhattoor, and Neena Kurup. The series unspools like a puzzle — with atmospheric tension, political undertones, and morally conflicted characters. Screenwriters Vinu K Mohan and Jijuraj craft a gritty narrative rooted in local realities and eerie suspense.
Vir Das: Fool Volume (Netflix – July 18)
After winning an International Emmy, comedian Vir Das is back with Fool Volume — a brand-new stand-up special that promises to combine outrageous humour with razor-sharp social commentary. In a quirky poster, Das poses with a mic in one hand and an electric lamp in the other, teasing a mix of mischief and meaning. If you’re looking to laugh and think, Fool Volume might just be your smartest stream of the week.
