Let’s break it down and help you figure out what to watch, where to watch it, and why you shouldn’t miss it.

1. The Indrani Mukerjea Story: Buried Truth – Netflix

If true crime gets your attention, Netflix has dropped a heavy-hitter this week. “The Indrani Mukerjea Story” dives deep into one of India’s most controversial murder cases—yes, we’re talking about the Sheena Bora case.

The docuseries explores the mystery, the media circus, and the shocking twists that shook the nation. It’s raw, gripping, and will leave you with more questions than answers. Not your average documentary—this one pulls you in from the first frame.

Why watch: Suspenseful, real-life drama that feels like a thriller.

2. Falimy – Disney+ Hotstar

Need a break from intense stories? “Falimy” is your chill-pill. This Malayalam dramedy is all about family, misunderstandings, and the everyday madness of life. It’s warm, it’s funny, and it’s super relatable—like spending a weekend with your own extended family (minus the fights over the remote).

Why watch: Heartfelt moments with a sprinkle of humor—perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

3. The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart – Prime Video

Based on Holly Ringland’s bestselling novel, this Australian drama stars Sigourney Weaver (yes, that Sigourney Weaver) in a hauntingly beautiful role. It’s about trauma, healing, and the complex bonds between women—set against stunning rural landscapes.

If you’re in the mood for something that hits emotionally but also looks like a visual masterpiece, this one’s calling your name.

Why watch: Brilliant acting, deep storytelling, and emotional impact.

4. Choona – Netflix (Hindi)

This one’s a heist drama with a desi twist, and it’s honestly a lot of fun. “Choona” follows a quirky gang of misfits trying to outsmart a powerful politician. The catch? Every member of the gang has their own personal score to settle.

The cast includes Jimmy Shergill, and the writing is sharp. Think Money Heist meets Delhi Belly. It’s chaotic, it’s clever, and it’s pure entertainment.

Why watch: Desi humor, unexpected twists, and a satisfying underdog story.

5. Duranga Season 2 – ZEE5

The thriller continues! Season 2 of “Duranga” is back, and it picks up right where it left off. Gulshan Devaiah and Drashti Dhami return to unravel the mind-bending story of love, lies, and murder. It’s fast-paced, and just when you think you’ve figured it out—bam, another twist.

If you loved Season 1, buckle up because things get even darker and deeper.

Why watch: Psychological tension, strong performances, and killer cliffhangers.

6. The Freelancer – Disney+ Hotstar (New Episodes)

The suspense just got bigger. “The Freelancer,” featuring Mohit Raina and Anupam Kher, is rolling out new episodes this week, continuing the story of a man on a mission in war-torn Syria.

Based on the book “A Ticket to Syria,” the show has already received solid buzz for its fast storytelling and action sequences. If international rescue missions and espionage thrillers are your thing—this should be on your list.

Why watch: High-stakes action, slick production, and real-world inspiration.

7. Only Murders in the Building – Season 3 (Hulu/Disney+ Hotstar)

The comedy-mystery combo you didn’t know you needed is back for Season 3, and the stakes are even higher—now there’s a murder in a Broadway play.

Selena Gomez, Steve Martin, and Martin Short are killing it (pun intended), and this season brings even more star power with Meryl Streep joining the cast.

Why watch: It’s quirky, clever, and keeps you guessing till the very end.
