Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat to Vash Level 2 & more: OTT & theatrical releases- What to watch this weekend

Thamma (In Theatres)

If you’ve been following the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe since Stree, you already know that the blend of scares and satire can be oddly addictive. Thamma takes that legacy forward, but with a surprisingly emotional core. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and headlined by Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, the film begins as a journalist’s ordinary investigation and spirals into a vampiric nightmare.

Ayushmann plays a reporter who crosses paths with a mysterious woman (Rashmika) and ends up cursed with an ancient bloodlust. What follows is both funny and frightening, packed with visual flair, clever cameos, and that typical Maddock mix of folklore and quirk. The best part is that it never forgets to have fun with its genre. For those who enjoy horror with heart (and a few laughs), Thamma is your ticket this weekend.

Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat (In Theatres)

Sometimes, love stories aren’t made to comfort you, they’re meant to consume you. Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is exactly that kind of film. Directed by Milap Zaveri and starring Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa, it’s a passionate, old-school romantic drama that peels back the darker layers of desire. The story follows Vikramaditya, a rising politician who falls for Adaa, a free-spirited woman who believes in love without cages. But as affection turns into obsession, the film asks difficult questions about control, ego, and what happens when devotion mutates into madness. If you’re craving a theatrical experience drenched in emotion, this one is worth the big screen.

Regretting You (In Theatres)

Colleen Hoover fans, rejoice. Regretting You, based on her 2019 bestseller, finally makes its way to theatres, directed by Josh Boone. It’s a tender, layered story about a mother and daughter who love each other fiercely but can’t seem to understand one another.

Allison Williams plays Morgan, a woman whose carefully built life falls apart after a devastating betrayal. Mckenna Grace plays her teenage daughter Clara, who’s grappling with her own first heartbreak. The beauty of the film lies in its restraint; it doesn’t try to glorify pain or wrap up life’s messiness in neat bows. Instead, it sits in that uneasy space where guilt, loyalty, and love overlap.

Boone captures the small, unspoken moments that make relationships real, the slammed doors, the awkward apologies, the half-meant words. Regretting You is gentle yet devastating, and perfect for those who like their romances complicated and true to life.

A House of Dynamite (Netflix)

From the woman who gave us The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty, comes another nerve-wracking thriller that feels alarmingly real. Kathryn Bigelow’s A House of Dynamite throws you into the chaos of a political meltdown after a mysterious nuclear missile is launched toward the United States.

Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson, Jared Harris, and Tracy Letts lead an ensemble that captures the panic and paranoia of a nation on the edge. The film unfolds almost in real time, moving between government offices, military bases, and living rooms filled with fear.

Bigelow doesn’t just make an action film, she crafts a moral maze. It’s sharp, high-stakes, and deeply human, the kind of film that leaves you glued to your screen even after the credits

Nobody Wants This: Season 2 (Netflix)

If all the intensity has left you craving something lighter, Nobody Wants This is the perfect palate cleanser. The second season of the witty romantic comedy series created by Erin Foster returns with Kristen Bell and Adam Brody as Joanne and Noah, a blunt, agnostic woman and a modern, rule-breaking rabbi trying to make their odd love story work.

Season two picks up right where the last one left off, diving into the messy middle of relationships, jealousy, vulnerability, and the art of keeping things honest when the honeymoon phase fades. Bell and Brody’s chemistry continues to be the show’s beating heart.

It’s a sharp, modern rom-com that understands how love looks in the age of therapy speak and self-sabotageand it’s impossible not to root for them.

Vash: Level 2 (Netflix)

Horror fans, this one’s for you. Vash: Level 2, the Gujarati supernatural sequel to Vash (2023), brings back the eerie world of dark magic, puppetry, and revenge. Directed by Krishnadev Yagnik, the story picks up twelve years after the first film, when a fresh wave of terrifying incidents forces Atharva to confront old demons.

The film is atmospheric, filled with disturbing visuals and unnerving silences. It digs into the psychology of fear rather than relying on cheap jump scares. Janki Bodiwala anchors the story with quiet strength, while Hitu Kanodia and Monal Gajjar deliver strong performances.

With its Hindi-dubbed version (Vash Vivash Level 2) also available, this is the kind of horror that lingers long after you’ve switched the lights back on.

They Call Him OG (Netflix)

For anyone who loves the swagger of gangster cinema, They Call Him OG is a must-watch. Starring Pawan Kalyan and Emraan Hashmi, this Telugu action-crime drama, now streaming on Netflix follows the story of Ojas “OG” Gambheera, a once-feared gangster pulled back into the underworld to face his nemesis Omi Bhau.

Set against the backdrop of 1970s Bombay, the film oozes style and nostalgia. Sujeeth directs with flair, combining slick action with emotional storytelling. Kalyan brings old-school charisma, while Emraan Hashmi’s brooding villain adds a layer of intensity that keeps the drama pulsing.

Kurukshetra: Part 2 (Netflix)

The war of Kurukshetra finally reaches its emotional conclusion in this second and final part of Netflix’s animated Mahabharata series. Each of the nine new episodes focuses on one warrior’s final stand, capturing the moral weight behind every arrow and every choice.

This chapter covers the iconic duels, Arjuna vs. Karna, Bhima vs. Duryodhana and the grief that follows every victory. The animation is rich, the battle choreography grand, and the voice cast (including Sahil Vaid as Lord Krishna and Saumya Daan as Arjuna) brings authenticity and soul to the timeless epic.

It’s intense, beautifully written, and one of the most ambitious Indian animated projects in recent years.

Param Sundari (Prime Video)

If you’re in the mood for something feel-good, Maddock Films’ Param Sundari will charm you with its quirky premise and light-hearted humour. Sidharth Malhotra plays Param, a Delhi boy searching for his soulmate through an AI matchmaking app, and Janhvi Kapoor plays Sundari, a grounded Malayali girl who has little patience for digital love.

Their worlds collide in a clash of cultures and expectations that’s equal parts funny and heartfelt. Directed by Tushar Jalota, the film pokes fun at stereotypes while celebrating the awkward beauty of modern romance.

After a fair theatrical run, it’s now streaming on Prime Video, perfect for when you want something easy, warm, and visually delightful.

The Kardashians: Season 7 (JioHotstar)

Rounding off the list with some unabashed glitz, The Kardashians are back for Season 7, and yes, the drama is as sparkly as ever. Streaming on JioHotstar, this new season peels back another layer of the family’s empire life, diving into personal heartbreaks, professional rivalries, and the kind of family dynamics only the Kardashians can deliver.

Between fashion shows, confessionals, and those infamous family dinners, the show still knows exactly what it is: glossy, addictive reality TV that’s impossible to turn away from.
