This weekend’s lineup has more tonal whiplash than your group chat after happy hour. Think horror that dares you not to blink, sci-fi that questions your existence, buddy comedies gone sideways, and spy thrillers that make you doubt everyone with a suit. Here’s what you really need to queue up—and what actually shows up where.
What to Stream, Watch in Theatres, and Follow Live This Weekend On Netflix, JioHostar, Amazon Prime Video And More
Weapons
Where to watch: Theatres
When 17 kids vanish at exactly 2:17 a.m., you’re not watching child's play—you're front-row to creeping suburban dread. Zach Cregger builds a multi-viewpoint thriller ripped from your worst real-world nightmare. Tense, nonlinear, and unwilling to hold your hand. Bloated with atmosphere, dark humor, and the kind of psychological bite that ruins your sleep—in a good way. Think Magnolia meets Stephen King with a gun under the table. Avoid spoilers.
Wednesday season 2 part 1
Where to watch: Netflix
Wednesday’s back, more deadpan than ever. At Nevermore Academy, she’s chasing ghosts, porcelain-doll killers, and family drama now that Morticia, Gomez, and Pugsley have RSVP’d to the weirdest reunion ever. Lady Gaga drops in like a macabre cherry on the Addams madness. Fresh, dark, and so weirdly compelling you’ll forget daylight exists.
Mickey 17
Where to watch: JioHotstar
Robert Pattinson plays Mickey 17, a disposable clone sent to colonise an ice world—who meets his next iteration while still alive. Bong Joon Ho turns existential sci-fi into black comedy laced with dread. Critics adored the mind-bender; now it’s ready to wreck your brain at home.
Platonic season 2
Where to watch: Apple TV+
Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne return, friendship still gloriously codependent. The brewery’s collapsed, the new business is wobbling, and romantic partners are asking if this "platonic" thing is even legal. Guest cameos fuel the chaos. Familiar Rogen-Byrne anarchy—leaner, meaner, and more emotionally questionable.
The Pickup
Where to watch: Prime Video
Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson in an armoured truck shoot-out gone sideways. Murphy’s the veteran, Davidson’s the wildcard rookie, and the supporting cast reads like a dream pulled from too much Red Bull: Keke Palmer, Eva Longoria, Roman Reigns. Banter, bullets, and unexpected bromance.
Love Hurts
Where to watch: JioHotstar
A hitman-turned-realtor is dragged back into the killing life when a red envelope from his elusive ex reopens old wounds. Ke Huy Quan brings the weary swagger, Ariana DeBose plays the ex who’s not here to talk feelings. Bombed in theatres, but OTT might be its redemption arc.
Mayasabha
Where to watch: SonyLIV
1990s Andhra Pradesh. Two best friends become political enemies, while a film-star politician strolls in to light the fuse. Loyalty, betrayal, and ambition writ large. If your idea of politics is shouting on Twitter, this is a different league.
Arabia Kadali
Where to watch: Prime Video
Telugu survival drama that goes for the gut. Fishermen drift into international waters, land in captivity, and face raw, unfiltered hardship. Meanwhile, a woman back home fights corruption with stubborn grit. Harsh, haunting, and heavy.
Maaman
Where to watch: Prime Video
Uncle falls for his sister’s doctor. Nephew meddles. What starts sweet turns into a mess of emotional blackmail and frayed family bonds. A warning label for affection that overstays its welcome.
Salakaar
Where to watch: JioHotstar
Cold-War spy turned India’s top security chief has to battle ghosts from his deep-cover past. Dual timelines and slow-burn tension collide with slick production. A thinking person’s spy drama—with just enough patriotism to sell the grit.
Stolen: Heist of the Century
Where to watch: Netflix
True-crime docu where thieves walked into one of Antwerp’s most secure vaults and walked out with $100 million in diamonds. No alarms. No gunshots. Just audacity and planning so good it’s terrifying.
Oho Enthan Baby
Where to watch: Netflix
A filmmaker’s heartbreak becomes a script—until reality and fiction start swapping places. Romantic drama meets mind-maze, and you’re stuck inside with no map.
Zimbabwe vs New Zealand, 2nd Test
Where to watch: Fancode
The Black Caps lead the series, but Harare’s pitch can get nasty late. Zimbabwe will need grit, not miracles, to flip momentum.
Man Utd vs Fiorentina
Where to watch: MUTV
Ruben Amorim’s first preseason under the Old Trafford lights. Expect high press, vertical bursts, and a test of whether United’s new system can survive Serie A guile. Fiorentina won’t just sit and watch the philosophy lesson.
