Surviving Ohio State OTT Release Date: When and where to watch HBO's sexual abuse documentary
Surviving Ohio State OTT Release Date: Directed by award-winning Australian filmmaker Eva Orner, who also won an Oscar for her work exposing abuse, the 108-minute feature peels back nearly two decades of horrific wrongdoing at Ohio State University between 1978 and 1998. Surviving Ohio State lands in India on JioHotstar on June 18, just a day after its U.S. debut on HBO and Max on June 17.
More about Surviving Ohio State
Surviving Ohio State's backbone is the investigative work of journalist Jon Wertheim, whose October 2020 Sports Illustrated piece laid bare 'Why Aren't More People Talking About the Ohio State Sex Abuse Scandal?'. That story exploded into public consciousness, and it's the jump‑off point for Orner's relentless search to understand how so many powerful people looked the other way.
On screen, real survivors, largely male athletes, many former standouts in wrestling, share chilling memories: locker-room exams, secretive deflections, silence from coaches and administrators who 'just dealt with it.' We hear from men like Mark Coleman (later a UFC heavyweight champion), the DiSabato brothers, Will Knight, Al Novakowski, Rocky Ratliff, Dan Ritchie, Mike Schyck, Stephen Snyder‑Hill, and even a wrestling referee, Frederick Feeney.
Their voices carry incredible weight because, as one survivor reflects on-screen: 'You walk into a room, and Doc tells you to turn the lights off... Who you gonna tell?'. Behind the scenes, Orner approached Surviving Ohio State with sensitivity: she spent months building trust, speaking with about 100 survivors before a core group felt ready to go public.
She even screened the finished cut privately with them, complete with mental health support, to make sure they're seen with dignity, not sensationalised. The crew is also stacked: George Clooney, Grant Heslov, and David Glasser joined as producers for Smokehouse Pictures/HBO Sports, with cinematographer Nick Higgins and editor Charles Olivier shaping the story's flow; composer Cornel Wilczek provides the music.

Kyrgios confirms his breakup with influencer Costeen Hatzi, wishes her 'nothing, but the best'
Image via Instagram/ Costeen Hatzi At 30, Australian tennis maverick Nick Kyrgios is stepping off the court and into the spotlight—this time, revealing that his high-profile romance with influencer Costeen Hatzi has hit its final serve. In an intimate and candid fan Q&A session on Instagram, the Wimbledon finalist opened up about the details of his relationship and break-up, wishing his ex 'nothing but the best' and reminiscing on 'incredible memories.' Since pairing up in December 2021, after a 'mirror sale' ignited sparks between the attractive duo, Kyrgios and Hatzi captured headlines with their glow-up moments featured in Netflix's Break Point docuseries. But as whispers of a breakup swirled online from April, fans have been desperate for confirmation. Now, Kyrgios has officially broken his silence—with humor, grace, and a newly shaven head to boot. What caused the 'trouble in paradise' for Kyrgios? Nick Kyrgios speaks out on breakup from influencer girlfriend Costeen Hatzi Kyrgios's confession came during an Instagram 'ask me anything,' where he was prompted by his fans about the buzz surrounding their breakup. Kyrgios, while 'not holding back' anything, candidly confessed that: 'Things happen. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Simple. Clean. Solitaire Play Solitaire Download Undo I wish her nothing but the best,' he quipped, adding that though their relationship is over, the memories are 'incredible.') He also celebrated turning 30 with a bald look (both head and tone: 'unreal'), insisting he's 'not even in [his] prime yet'. (via Their relationship began behind the mirrored lens of Instagram: Hatzi, selling a mirror, asked Kyrgios if he wanted to buy it—and love was instant. Their romance flourished as they moved in together in 2022 and even fueling engagement rumors, including Kyrgios joking 'Our wedding soon' on a public photo in early 2023 released on social media. Yet by April, clear signals emerged: both removed each other's initials from their Instagram bios, and Hatzi dropped cryptic TikToks referencing marital tensions. Hatzi later spoke positively about life post-split—highlighting her resilience and brand-work, even attending a major event in Sydney and supporting ovarian cancer research. Meanwhile, Kyrgios is juggling more than romantic headlines: plagued by injuries that sidelined him from the French Open and Wimbledon, he's also lost commentary gigs with BBC and ESPN. Still, his spirit remains unbroken—and he's vowed that this chapter is just the tip of his prime. Kyrgios's heartfelt yet playful statement marks a turning point—respectful closure with a wink to the future. As both he and Hatzi shift gears, fans can expect fresh chapters ahead: Kyrgios possibly aiming for tennis glory and personal reinvention at 30, and Hatzi blazing her own trail in the influencer world. While break-ups may sting for most couples, these two leave their fans lessons on how to part with grace and dignity.

Blending horror with laughter, Subham is a uniquely entertaining ride that redefines the classic ghost story trope. Directed by Praveen Kandregula and produced by Samantha under her banner Tralala Moving Pictures along with Kanakavalli Talkies, this film introduces audiences to a town possessed—not by evil spirits, but by a deep obsession with a Telugu soap opera. The plot revolves around three friends who run the only cable TV service in their town and face an absurd crisis when ancestral spirits begin possessing the local women just so they can watch their favourite serial. The clever twist? The only way to break the curse is to change the ending of the show. With performances by Harshith Reddy, Gavireddy Srinivas, Charan Peri, and others, Subham delivers both absurdity and social satire in a spooky, entertaining format. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If You Eat Ginger Everyday for 1 Month This is What Happens Tips and Tricks Undo Dear Uma Streaming on: SunNXT Dear Uma tackles a bold and controversial topic—the medical mafia—in a story that blends emotional grit with an investigative tone. Directed by Sai Rajesh Mahadev, the film is anchored by a commanding performance from Sumaya Reddy, who holds the narrative together with depth and conviction. It also features Kamal Kamaraju, Sapthagiri, and Ajay Ghosh in pivotal roles. Though the film didn't fare well in theatres due to its lesser-known cast, the team is optimistic that the film will find its audience on OTT. Prithvi Raj Amber, who plays the male lead, believes the film's subject matter will spark much-needed conversations. With music by Radhan and a grounded script, Dear Uma could be a slow-burner success online.

Directed by Malli Ankam, the story follows Gana, a man desperate to get married after a priest foretells that he has only 25 days to find a bride—or remain single for life. The prophecy becomes a source of comic paranoia as his family and society pressure him into a frantic search. Enter Siddhi, played by Faria Abdullah, who initially rejects him but slowly warms up, leading to a feel-good romance filled with misunderstandings and emotional depth. The supporting cast includes Vennela Kishore, Harsha Chemudu, Jamie Lever, and Ravi Krishna, all of whom bring fresh energy and humour. The film is both funny and endearing, making it a solid OTT pick for fans of light-hearted dramas.

This anthology series has been receiving praise for its simplicity, warmth, and the ability to connect deeply in a short runtime.
