Weekend binge-list: South Indian films to explore on OTT

Here is a list of movies and TV shows that you really must watch, ranging from undiscovered gems to eagerly anticipated online series.

Baahubali: Crown of Blood- Disney+ Hotstar

Since Baahubali: Crown of Blood is an animated web series, it does not have any actors in it. Still, the show’s characters are remarkably similar to the original cast members of SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali film trilogy. Despite what many people believe, the series is set during the same period as Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali: The Conclusion and is not a prequel to the movies.

Kalvan- Disney+ Hotstar

G.V. Prakash Kumar and Ivana play the main characters in the Tamil film Kalvan. The movie tells the tale of Kemban, a robber who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. When he meets two old village residents, though, everything changes. When the movie opened in theaters on April 4, the public’s reaction was mainly unfavorable. The film’s main flaw was that it was overly busy with little real content.

Blink- Prime Video

The film tells the narrative of Apoorva, a young guy who has the ability to regulate his blinking, without giving too much away. Undoubtedly one of the most underappreciated movies of the year, Blink is a distinctive take on the time travel genre. Sadly, the movie didn’t exactly take off during its theatrical run, but since its OTT release, it has already garnered a lot of praise.

The Boys- Prime Video

The Boys is a comedy drama in Tamil which is based on an actual story that happened during the Indian government’s Covid lockdown. The lads in the movie are forced to move into an unknown residence when their home is forcibly abandoned.

Vidya Vasula Aham- Aha Telugu

A romantic comedy in Telugu, Vidya Vasula Aham stars Rahul Vijay and Shivani in vital roles. Highlighting the highs and lows of being married young, the movie offers a novel perspective on contemporary marriages.

Sharathulu Varhistai- Aha Telugu

Kishore plays the main character in the Tamil language original serial Thalamai Seyalagam. Under the cover of a political drama, the show is actually a crime thriller that explores a number of topics, including discrimination, caste-based oppression, and power dynamics.

Thalamai Seyalagam- ZEE5

The protagonist of the movie is Chiranjeevi, a government worker from a lower middle class background who rebels against the establishment.

Hot Spot- Aha Tamil

Vignesh Karthick, the director of Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru, has released an anthology film in Tamil titled Hot Spot. Four short vignettes in the movie tackle different taboo topics in society. Vignesh is able to create a captivating story by combining amusing and thought-provoking material.
