Platforms checked: Netflix, Prime Video, JioHotstar, SonyLIV, ZEE5 and Apple TV, with current India OTT calendars cross-checked for regional releases.
This roundup covers titles that actually arrived through September 17. September 18 premieres—including Lust Stories 3, Thudakkam, Kattalan and MobLand Season 2—are deliberately reserved for next week’s completed window.
Netflix
Recently Added

For Indian audiences, Vishwanath and Sons is the week’s notable regional movie addition. Current Indian OTT coverage confirms its September 11 Netflix arrival.
Netflix then shifts heavily international in the second half of the week. The Doll adapts Bolesław Prus’s classic Polish novel, while The Fixers brings Taiwanese action-comedy and Plastic Beauty explores Japan’s cosmetic-medicine industry.
The biggest franchise return is Stranger Things: Tales From ’85, whose second season arrived September 17.
Prime Video
Recently Added
- The Revolutionaries — Hindi historical drama — September 11
- Neagley — action/investigative series — September 16
The Revolutionaries follows young Indian freedom fighters who believed armed resistance was necessary to challenge British colonial rule. The Hindi series, featuring Bhuvan Bam, Rohit Saraf, Pratibha Ranta and Gurfateh Pirzada, premiered September 11.
Prime Video’s major international arrival is Neagley, the Reacher spin-off starring Maria Sten as Frances Neagley. All eight episodes debuted September 16, with Neagley investigating the suspicious death of a close friend. Indian coverage confirms the title as part of this week’s Prime Video slate.
JioHotstar
Recently added
- Prince of Mollywood — Malayalam comedy-drama — September 11
- Ali Baba Aur 40 Bhoot — Hindi supernatural thriller — September 11
- Jungle Tales with Mowgli — Hindi animation — September 12
- Chikoo Vs Bunty: Kushti Ki Jung — Hindi animation — September 13
- Mango Pachcha — Kannada crime thriller — September 14
- Pocoyo — children’s animation — September 16
- Lee Cronin’s The Mummy — English horror film — September 17
JioHotstar has easily the most linguistically diverse fresh slate this week.
Prince of Mollywood follows Firoz, an aspiring Malayalam film star whose millionaire father wants him back in the family business.
For Hindi audiences, Ali Baba Aur 40 Bhoot combines paranormal mystery with the familiar Ali Baba mythology, following a science-driven neuropsychology expert searching for her missing father.
The regional discovery pick is Mango Pachcha, a Kannada crime thriller set in Mysuru between 2001 and 2011. A CD-shop owner’s discovery of his father’s hidden family gradually pulls him into a criminal network tied to marijuana cultivation and local politics.
Horror fans also get Lee Cronin’s The Mummy on September 17, involving a family whose missing daughter returns after eight years—but not quite as they remember her.
ZEE5
Recently added
Ghamasaan is the week’s major ZEE5 Hindi release. Directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia, it stars Pratik Gandhi as an IPS officer pursuing a feared dacoit played by Arshad Warsi, while deliberately blurring the usual hero-villain divide.
Malayalam action drama Varavu, starring Joju George, also became available on ZEE5 during the September 11 window; current Malayalam reporting confirms that it is now streaming.
Apple TV
Recently added
- Slow Horses, Season 6 — espionage drama — September 16
Slow Horses returns with Gary Oldman as Jackson Lamb and his dysfunctional MI5 team.
Season 6 premiered globally on September 16, meaning India is included, with one new episode scheduled weekly through October 21. This is especially well verified: Apple’s own press material confirms both the date and global rollout.
SonyLIV
No major new movie or scripted-series premiere during September 11–17 was sufficiently corroborated for me to list as a confirmed addition.
SonyLIV is carrying UEFA Champions League programming during this period, but live sports are outside this movies-and-shows roundup.
Its next notable entertainment arrival is Malayalam action thriller Kattalan, scheduled for September 18, so it will be included in next week’s completed review rather than counted early.
OTTShows Editor’s Picks
Indian series of the week: The Revolutionaries — Prime Video. The historical drama gives the week’s streaming slate a distinctly Indian subject while focusing on younger and less frequently dramatized figures from the independence movement.
Hindi movie pick: Ghamasaan — ZEE5. Pratik Gandhi versus Arshad Warsi in Tigmanshu Dhulia’s morally ambiguous crime landscape makes this one of the week’s strongest Hindi propositions.
Regional discovery: Mango Pachcha — JioHotstar. Its early-2000s Mysuru setting and mixture of family secrets, crime and politics make it stand out from the week’s more conventional releases.
International series: Slow Horses Season 6 — Apple TV. The acclaimed spy drama’s global September 16 premiere makes it one of the week’s highest-profile returning international shows.
Action-series pick: Neagley — Prime Video. Fans of Reacher now have a full eight-episode spin-off centred on one of that show’s most popular supporting characters.
Weekly Takeaway
This week’s strongest trend is breadth rather than one dominant blockbuster. Prime Video pairs Indian history with an international action franchise; ZEE5 combines Hindi crime with Malayalam cinema; Netflix ranges from Tamil film to European and East Asian series; and JioHotstar moves across Hindi, Malayalam, Kannada, children’s animation and Hollywood horror.
For OTTShows, that makes the India market increasingly interesting to cover platform by platform rather than simply title by title. The streaming competition is no longer just about who has the biggest Hindi release. Regional language, children’s programming, global originals and established international franchises are all being used to keep different audience segments engaged throughout the week.
