Each month OTT platform releases fresh content on their platform. Netflix has already announced their detailed line-up of shows and movies for December 2021, here in this article we are here to help those who want to watch New Indian Movies this weekend. Here is a list of 10 Movies & Shows on Indian OTT platforms that you can binge-watch during the upcoming weekend.

1. Bob Biswas

  • Director- Diya Annapurna Ghosh
  • Cast- Abhishek Bachchan, Chitrangada Singh, Tina Desai, Ronith Arora, Ditipriya Roy, Samara Tijori
  • Producer- Red Chillies Entertainment
  • Language- Hindi
  • Platform- Zee5
  • Release Date- December 3, 2021

Synopsis- Bob Biswas is a spin-off to the 2012 thriller Kahaani starring Vidya Balan in the main role.

The killer villain of Kahaani Bob Biswas is now a hero. That is an intriguing twist as the chilling contract killer, who had an 8-minute appearance in the 2012 movie has not got titular eminence. As it always happens, the man who holds a day-time insurance job but is a ruthless killer has now lost his memory. It is not known yet if Bob’s story will tie to Vidya’s story from Kahaani.

Abhishek Bachchan who plays Bob Biswas has talked of the contradiction residing in the character- someone so unassuming, sweet, and soft but doing such a cold-hearted job. It is what attracted him to the character. It is what attracts the viewers too.

2. Chithirai Sevvaanam

  • Director- Stunt Silva
  • Cast- Samuthirakani, Pooja Kannan, Rima Kallingal
  • Producer- Think Big Studios and Amirtha Studios
  • Language- Tamil
  • Platform- Zee5
  • Release date- December 5, 2021

Synopsis- The movie marks the debut of actress Sai Pallavi’s younger sister Pooja Kannan. The film can be a gut in the punch as it takes up the sordid Pollachi sex scandal that rocked Tamil Nadu a few years ago. Streaked into this story is a warm tale of a daughter and dad relationship. This contradistinction- a horror event and a loving relationship- makes the film both poignant and powerful. Malayalam actress Rima Kallingal plays a woman cop, who has to face multiple challenges. Popular stunt actor Silva has directed the film.

The movie is filled with impish ironies. A case is filed against, well, a police station. A key-maker gets locked up during an act of lock-making.
