OTT weekend watchlist: Spy games to gang wars, what to stream this weekend across Netflix, Prime & more

From spy comedies to political thrillers and gritty gang wars, this weekend’s OTT lineup is stacked with drama, action, and nostalgia across platforms.

Whether you’re into muscle-bound mayhem, courtroom clashes, or deep-cut historical thrillers, there’s something here to keep your screen-and your mind-busy. Here’s what to watch:

Cena x Chopra | Heads of State | Prime Video

What do you get when you throw John Cena, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Idris Elba into a global conspiracy? A wildly chaotic action-comedy with explosions, one-liners, and CIA-level confusion. Heads of State isn’t here for logic-it’s here for the ride.

Thugged Out | Thug Life | Theatrical/Coming Soon

Tamil cinema’s gangster game levels up with Thug Life, a blood-soaked street saga that channels Vikram’s energy and ups the ante. Power shifts, betrayals, and brutal set pieces mark this as a must-watch for fans of raw, high-stakes storytelling.

Dreams Return | The Sandman: Season 2 | Netflix

The Dreaming gets darker in The Sandman’s much-awaited second season. Neil Gaiman’s cult universe dives deeper into myth and madness. Jump in before spoilers start flooding every timeline you scroll.

Madras Magic | Madras Matinee | Netflix

A love letter to Tamil cinema, Madras Matinee is a slow-burning gem for cinephiles. Part memoir, part mystery, it’s a film about films-and it’s quietly becoming the talk of streaming circles.

Wife Rebooted | The Good Wife (India) | JioCinema/Disney+ Hotstar

Adapted from the hit American series, this Indian legal drama leans into moral ambiguity and domestic fallout. With a layered female lead and chessboard courtroom strategy, it’s a slow-burn with staying power.

Rajiv Files | The Hunt for Rajiv | SonyLIV

Based on real events, The Hunt brings the 1991 assassination of Rajiv Gandhi to the screen in chilling detail. It’s political history reimagined as thriller-taut, loaded, and controversial.

Paramasivan Verdict | Paramasivan Fathima | Aha

This courtroom-political crossover follows a lone woman standing against power. With stakes that ripple beyond the gavel, Paramasivan Fathima is a reminder that justice isn’t always quiet.

Kaalidhar Twist | Kaalidhar Laapata | Zee5

Abhishek Bachchan returns in a gripping family drama about betrayal and abandonment. Kaalidhar Laapata is less loud spectacle, more emotional gut punch-and it hits hard.

Special Ops Heat | Special Ops: Season 2 (Preview) | Disney+ Hotstar

It drops next week, but early looks at Special Ops 2 suggest a cyber-espionage angle that updates the franchise’s adrenaline with digital-age threats. Keep this one on your radar.
