Several new titles arrived on Friday, September 18, while a few major releases dropped earlier in the week and are also expected to remain popular throughout the weekend.
Here is a complete look at some of the biggest OTT releases to watch this weekend.

Malayalam cinema also has a major new release this weekend with Thudakkam.
The film stars Vismaya Mohanlal in her acting debut. She plays Meenu, a martial arts practitioner whose quiet life changes after she encounters a contract killer.
What begins as an unexpected encounter turns into a fight for survival as Meenu becomes entangled in a dangerous mystery.

The film stars Antony Varghese and Indukuri Sunil Varma.

Fans of gangster dramas have another reason to tune in this weekend as MobLand Season 2 arrives on JioHotstar.
The series follows the Harrigan family as their criminal empire faces growing threats from rivals and internal tensions. Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren lead the cast.
The second season continues the story of Harry Da Souza, the fixer caught between competing forces within the criminal underworld.

The Korean drama stars Son Ye-jin and Ji Chang-wook and is inspired by the classic French novel Les Liaisons dangereuses.
The story combines romance, manipulation and social intrigue in a period setting.

The spy thriller continues the story of the disgraced MI5 agents and the challenges surrounding their unconventional intelligence unit.
The new season is part of the wider international streaming lineup available around the September 19 weekend.
For viewers who have followed the previous seasons, the latest chapter gives the series another major weekend viewing option.
Lee Cronin’s The Mummy on JioHotstar
Horror fans can also watch Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, which arrived on JioHotstar on September 17.

The film stars Jack Reynor, Laia Costa and May Calamawy.
Release date: September 17, 2026
