Here's a detailed look at what's streaming across Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, and Punjabi OTT releases this week:
1. DNA

In DNA, Atharvaa and Nimisha Sajayan headline a gritty Tamil thriller that cuts deep into hospital corruption, identity fraud, and moral decay. Directed by Nelson Venkatesan, the film weaves suspense with social commentary, exploring the shadows that lurk in medical institutions and human behavior. With sharp performances and a pulsating narrative, DNA has already been hailed as one of the most compelling Tamil thrillers of the season.
2. Sattamum Needhiyum
Streaming now | Zee5 | Tamil
A gripping courtroom drama, Sattamum Needhiyum introduces Sundaramoorthy, a mild-mannered lawyer who finds himself at the center of a legal storm when a man self-immolates outside court. As the system's flaws unravel before him, Sundaramoorthy is forced to question whether law can truly serve justice. With compelling performances by Star Saravanan and Namritha, this series offers a searing take on media trials and legal morality.
3. Saunkan Saunkne 2
Streaming from July 25 | Zee5 | Punjabi
Ammy Virk, Sargun Mehta, and Nimrat Khaira return with double the drama in this much-awaited Punjabi comedy sequel. When Nirmal's household descends into chaos with his two wives (also sisters) constantly feuding, things take a hilarious twist as a mysterious Italian woman enters the scene—played again by Mehta in a dual role. With wit, confusion, and desi flair, Saunkan Saunkne 2 promises non-stop laughs and unexpected alliances.
4. Bibaho Otohpor
Streaming from July 25 | Fridaay (OTTplay Premium) | Bengali
Marriage is just the beginning of madness in Bibaho Otohpor, a romantic comedy that unravels after a petty dispute turns into a full-blown divorce.

Light-hearted yet satirical, this Bengali series shines a humorous spotlight on post-marital woes and the absurdity of familial interference.
5. Ronth
Streaming from July 22 | JioHotstar | Assamese
Ronth is a gripping police thriller that chronicles the lives of a weary senior cop and his fresh-faced partner as they navigate graveyard shifts, buried trauma, and a case that could cost them everything. Set in the lonely hours of the night, the series explores masculinity, mentorship, emotional isolation, and professional pressure. Tense, atmospheric, and character-driven, Ronth is a rare gem from the Northeast you shouldn't miss.
6. Kaliyugam
Now Streaming | SunNXT | Tamil
This dystopian Tamil thriller set in a future ruled by corrupt algorithms and unchecked power follows Shraddha Srinath as a lone crusader challenging systemic rot. Directed by Pramod Sundar, Kaliyugam 1988 blends science fiction with social realism, resulting in a film that's visually sharp, politically urgent, and emotionally charged. It's not just entertainment—it's a wake-up call about the future we may be sleepwalking into.
7. 8 Vasantalu
Now Streaming | Netflix | Telugu (also available in Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam)
8 Vasantalu is a tender and evocative anthology that brings together eight different love stories—from teenage crushes and bittersweet breakups to enduring companionships.

Perfect for those who enjoy emotional storytelling with a poetic, nostalgic touch.
Whether you're in the mood for courtroom confrontations, futuristic dystopias, riotous Punjabi banter, or delicate love stories, this week's regional OTT offerings have something for every kind of viewer. So grab your popcorn—and maybe a tissue or two—and dive in.

Rishabh Pant Cracks 'Engagement' Joke With Yuzvendra Chahal Amid RJ Mahvash Dating Rumours

Ignored Indian cricket team spinner Yuzvendra Chahal was the subject of a hilarious 'engagement' joke from Rishabh Pant amid dating rumours involving RJ Mahvash. Chahal got divorced from Dhanashree Verma earlier this year and there have been a lot of chatter around his rumoured relationship with RJ Mahvesh after both of them were spotted together on several occasions. Archana Puran Singh recently dropped a Behind The Scenes (BTS) vlog from the shoot of Kapil Sharma's show where Pant was seen having fun with Chahal. Pant jokingly put a ring on Chahal's finger while Archana commented, 'Are you now engaged to him?' Rishabh was quick to reply 'Iski toh ho chuki hai pehle (He is already engaged)'. Yuzi clarified and joked "Jaa bhi chuki hai (It is over as well)". It was a reference to his divorce with Dhanashree that was finalised this year. The conversation did not end there as Archana invited Chahal to visit her home in Mumbai but added that he must be too busy to make the journey. However, Pant said - 'He is here all the time!" Chahal was amused with the exchange as he replied - 'Sabko bata de tu (Why don't you just announce it to everyone?)" Rishabh left everyone in splits as he started shouting on the set. Meanwhile, amid the India vs England Test series, a video clip from a Netflix broadcast of a 'Kapil Sharma Show' episode involving Rishabh Pant, Yuzvendra Chahal and Gautam Gambhir is going viral. "In most families there is a jethani who's calling the shots. Who is such a player? Someone who orders everyone, even if they're just taking advantage of their seniority," Kapil Sharma can be seen asking. "Rohit bhai is like that," Rishabh Pant said. "Maine kaha, Rohit ka naam lele, abb toh retire ho gaya (Take Rohit's name, he's retired now)," Gambhir said with a smile on his face.
