When No One Sees Us OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Mariela Garriga & Maribel Verdú's series in India

When No One Sees Us OTT Release Date: If psychological thrillers laced with suspense, secrets, and slow-burning tension are your thing, then When No One Sees Us might just be your next binge-worthy watch. Adapted from the Sergio Sarria novel of the same name, this highly anticipated Spanish series is finally making its India debut. You'll be able to catch it on JioHotstar starting June 14, 2025. What is When No One Sees Us all about? This thrilling limited series comes from Spain, but don't let the language fool you; it's packed with universally chilling themes. At the centre of the story is Mariela Garriga, best known for her intense performances in European cinema, and Maribel Verdú, the iconic Spanish actress you may recognise from Pan's Labyrinth and Y Tu Mamá También. Directed by a talented Spanish team and backed by Disney's international content slate, When No One Sees Us unfolds in a small town in southern Spain during Easter week. The story starts when a man in the town is found dead in what looks like a suicide. But something about it doesn't feel right. A local police officer, Sergeant Lucía Gutiérrez (Maribel Verdú), starts looking into it and quickly realises there might be more to the story than people are letting on. At the same time, a U.S. military agent named Magaly Castillo (Mariela Garriga) arrives at the nearby American air base. She's there to find a missing American soldier. Her investigation leads her to question the base's commander, who seems to be hiding something. As she keeps digging, Magaly starts to see that the soldier's disappearance might be connected to what's happening in the town. Soon, both Lucía and Magaly realise their cases are linked. Together, they uncover a tangle of secrets involving both the townspeople and people from the military base. When No One Sees Us also stars Austin Amelio, Ben Temple, Dani Rovira, Dani Téllez, Joe Manjón, Lorca Prada, Jorge Suquet, Numa Paredes, María Alfonsa Rossot, Lucia Jiménez, Eloy Azorín, Virginia de Morata, Carlos Beluga and Ana María Vivancos among others.

'Thug Life' actor Kamal Haasan on the issue of imposition of Hindi in the south amid his controversial comment: 'I stand with...'

The ruling DMK in his home state Tamil Nadu has long opposed the three-language policy introduced under the National Education Policy (NEP) read more Where does Kamal Haasan stand on the issue of imposition of Hindi in the south? 'I stand with Punjab. I stand with Karnataka. I stand with Andhra,' is his quick reply. The pan-India superstar's latest film Thug Life, the 234th in a 65-year career, released in theatres this week amid controversy over his comment that Kannada was born out of Tamil. He refused to apologise and the film did not release in Karnataka. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'I am the actor from 'Ek Duuje Ke Liye'…,' Haasan told PTI during a recent visit to the news agency's headquarters, referring to his 1981 hit Hindi film about a Tamil boy and his romance with his Hindi speaking neighbour. 'Without imposition, we will learn. Don't impose, because this is ultimately education and we must take the shortest route to education… and not put hurdles in its way,' the actor said. The ruling DMK in his home state Tamil Nadu has long opposed the three-language policy introduced under the National Education Policy (NEP). The party has repeatedly accused the BJP-led NDA government of attempting to 'impose Hindi', a charge the Centre has denied. Stressing that the imposition of a particular language only hampers the learning process, the 70-year-old said, 'I stand with Punjab. I stand with Karnataka. I stand with Andhra. This is not only place which is resenting imposition.' The Indian cinema stalwart, hugely popular in the south as well as in the north with films such as 'Nayakan', 'Thevar Magan', 'Sadma', 'Saagar' and Chachi 420" that bridged language divides, said if you are truly looking at 'international breakthrough' you must learn one language. 'And English seems to be fair enough. You can do Spanish also, or Chinese. But I think the most practical thing where the shortest route to that is that we have 350 years of English education, slowly but steadily. So when you suddenly replace it, it's all over again. You make unnecessarily many people illiterate, especially in Tamil Nadu. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'You suddenly force all through Hindi and you tell them that you will not get your job beyond the Vindhyas, then you start wondering, what about the promises? What about my language? Am I not one of the 22 (official languages)? These are the questions that are coming.' Tamil is one of the 22 official languages of the country, apart from Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Kashmiri, Konkani, Malayalam, Manipuri, Marathi, Nepali, Oriya, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Sindhi, Telugu, Urdu, Bodo, Santhali, Maithili and Dogri. The Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) had said it would not let 'Thug Life' release unless Haasan apologised for his Kannada-Tamil comment at a promotional event in Chennai. His banner Raajkamal Films International filed a plea before the Karnataka High Court seeking protection for the release of the film, which sees him reuniting with Mani Ratnam after 'Nayakan' in 1987. After a rap from the court over the remark, the producers said 'Thug Life' will not be released in Karnataka. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD

Housefull 5 Box Office Day 2: Akshay Kumar Film Sees Strong Growth, Rakes In Rs 54 Crore

Last Updated: Housefull 5 collects Rs 54 crore in India in 2 days; Akshay Kumar film draws crowd with dual endings. The latest installment in the Housefull franchise is off to a strong start at the box office. Housefull 5, helmed by director Tarun Mansukhani, stars Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Nargis Fakhri, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Soundarya Sharma in lead roles. After two days in theatres, the film has collected Rs 54 crore net in India. According to data from Sacnilk, the comedy entertainer earned Rs 24 crore net in India on its opening day. The worldwide collection on Day 1 stood at Rs 40 crore. Day 2, a Saturday, saw an upward trend with the film bringing in an estimated Rs 30 crore net domestically — taking the total to approximately Rs 54 crore so far. The movie maintained a nationwide occupancy of 33.18%, with figures climbing steadily through the day. Chennai, in particular, stood out with a 52% occupancy rate — a strong number for a Hindi-language comedy. With Sunday still ahead before the weekday slowdown, fans and analysts alike are watching to see how far Housefull 5 can go in its opening weekend. A major talking point around the film is its unique twist — it's been released with two alternate endings: Housefull 5 A and Housefull 5 B. Director Tarun Mansukhani shared the origin of this bold move: 'Sajid (Sajid Nadiadwala) sir had this idea about 30 years ago. And finally, he brought it to Housefull 5. And that was one of the most exciting things for me as a director to make a film with two different climaxes." This fresh concept appears to be resonating with moviegoers, adding curiosity and repeat viewings to the film's appeal. However, the film is getting mixed reviews from the critics. News18 Showsha gave it 2.5 stars. An excerpt from the review read, 'What makes the movie slump even lower is the music and the number of songs pushed into the scenes and the screenplay to make the film longer. Imagine dealing with an already stretched script, and then you have to tolerate even the unnecessary dance numbers. If this is the standard of comedy we get from the Housefull franchise, then Nadiadwala has to step up and raise the bar in the next instalment."
