Check these OTT releases to binge-watch this weekend. August is turning into a treat for cinema lovers — whether you're catching new releases in theatres or waiting for them to stream at home, there's plenty to look forward to. Romantic dramas, emotional sagas, and laugh-out-loud comedies are sharing screens this month. And with Netflix already snapping up streaming rights for some of the biggest titles, audiences won't have to wait too long before these stories arrive in their living rooms. Here's a look at three major releases making waves. Hitting theatres on August 1, Dhadak 2 brings Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri together in a romance that's anything but simple. Directed by Shazia Iqbal, the film is both a remake of the Tamil drama Pariyerum Perumal and a spiritual follow-up to Dhadak, which saw Janhvi Kapoor's debut and Ishaan Khatter's first commercial success. Dhadak 2 explores the love story of Neelesh, a law student from a marginalised community, and Vidhi, an upper-class woman, as they face brutal caste prejudice. Despite clashing with big releases, it earned glowing reviews. Netflix will stream it likely between September 12 and 26.
Anurag Basu's Metro… In Dino, released on July 4, is a heartfelt look at modern relationships against the chaos of city life. The film, seen as a spiritual sequel to Life in a… Metro features Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, and more. With moving music and layered storytelling, it resonated strongly with audiences. Konkona remains the only returning cast member from the original. Netflix will be its OTT home, with streaming expected in late August or early September. Ajay Devgn returns with Son of Sardaar 2, the comedy sequel to the 2012 hit. Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, the film also stars Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan, and Sanjay Mishra and marks the final film of Mukul Dev. The plot follows a man pretending to be a war hero to help a couple gain family approval for their marriage. Shot across Edinburgh, London, and Chandigarh, the movie released on August 1 after a date shift and received mixed to negative reviews from critics. According to a GQ India report, industry buzz suggests Son of Sardaar 2 could hit streaming sometime between September 12 and 26, 2025 — following the usual six-to-eight-week gap after its theatrical release.Which OTT release are you most excited about?

He joked that he was so nervous, he put the speech on the teleprompter, and even carried a handwritten note with him, just in case the electricity went out. He then jokingly added that if he still messed up, his dad, Shah Rukh Khan, would be there to save him. In a hilarious moment that followed, King Khan was seen with a copy of the speech taped to his back.

Just in case yaha ki bijli chale jaaye, main kaagaz ke tukde pe bhi likhke laaya hu. Torch ke saath. Aur agar tab bhi mujhse mistake ho jaaye, to Papa hain na! (I'm very nervous because this is the first time I'm standing on stage in front of all of you. That's why I've been practicing this speech over and over again for the last two days and three nights. In fact, I'm so nervous that I've even put it on the teleprompter—just in case the electricity goes out here, I've also brought it written on a piece of paper. With a torch. And if even after all that I still make a mistake… well, my dad's here, right?)."

In his speech, he further added, 'We've tried to bring a lot of entertainment to a lot of people in a lot of places.

Narcos star Wagner Moura to receive Golden Eye Award at Zurich Film Festival
Agency: PTI London, Aug 20 (PTI) The Zurich Film Festival will honour 'Narcos" star Wagner Moura with the prestigious Golden Eye Award. The festival will run from September 25 to October 5 this year. The Brazilian star was also bestowed with the best actor award at Cannes Film Festival this year for his performance in 'The Secret Agent" by Kleber Mendonça Filho. Moura, more known internationally for his portrayal of drug overlord Pablo Escobar in the hit Netflix series 'Narcos", said he was 'deeply honored" to receive the Golden Eye Award. 'Thank you to the Zurich Film Festival for recognizing my work in Kleber Mendonça Filho's truly beautiful and important Brazilian film The Secret Agent. I am humbled to be in the company of those who have received this award and I'm very proud to share the film with the Zurich festival audience in person this September," he added. In a statement, Zurich Film Festival artistic director Christian Jungen said, 'with The Secret Agent, Wagner Moura carries the story with an electrifying presence unlike anything else." Moura would be the first South American actor to receive the award in the festival's history, Jungen shared, praising Moura for 'his exceptional performance in the film and for a career that has made him one of Latin America's most charismatic and versatile actors." Based on the novel by Joseph Conrad, 'The Secret Agent" sees Moura lead as a professor who finds himself in a politically tense climate in Brazil's Recife after he returns there to bond with his estranged son. After a successful career in the Brazilian film industry, especially for his role in 'Elite Squad", Moura debuted in Hollywood in 2013 alongside Matt Damon and Jodie Foster in 'Elysium". It was in 2015 when Moura was launched into global stardom with 'Narcos". He was also seen recently in Alex Garland's acclaimed political thriller 'Civil War" and the Apple TV+ series 'Dope Thief".
