The third week of February brings a packed slate across streaming platforms and theatres, offering everything from neo-noir thrillers and political dramas to romantic sagas and historical spectacles. If you are planning your weekend watchlist, here is a detailed look at what to watch first on OTT and then on the big screen.

OTT releases this week

On streaming, the most anticipated release this week is Kennedy, which arrives on ZEE5 on February 20. Written and directed by Anurag Kashyap, the neo-noir crime thriller follows an insomniac former cop who is officially presumed dead but now operates in the shadows. Starring Rahul Bhat and featuring Sunny Leone in a key role, Kennedy promises a dark, stylised narrative with gravel-edged leads and twists that will appeal to fans of gritty crime dramas.

For viewers seeking romance, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri has been streaming on Prime Video since February 19. Directed by Sameer Vidwans and featuring Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday, the film follows an NRI wedding planner and an aspiring novelist whose whirlwind cruise romance is tested by family obligations and expectations. While lighter in tone than some of the week’s thrillers, it offers an engaging romantic narrative for those in the mood for love and emotional warmth.

Netflix strengthens this week’s OTT lineup with several key titles. The Night Agent Season 3 premiered on February 19, continuing the high-stakes international espionage adventures of Peter Sutherland as he chases a rogue Treasury official and uncovers deep-rooted conspiracies. Pavane, also on Netflix from February 20, provides a change of pace with a heartfelt South Korean romantic drama about three emotionally guarded individuals whose lives intersect in unexpected ways. Apple TV+ offers Season 2 of The Last Thing He Told Me from February 20, as the crime family drama deepens and personal stakes rise for its protagonists.

Prime Video’s 56 Days continues to attract attention with its psychological mystery, and Lionsgate Play enters the week with Heated Rivalry, a romantic sports drama exploring the hidden relationship between rival hockey players. These diverse offerings from multiple platforms ensure that there is something for every viewer’s taste this week.

Moving to theatres in India, audiences have a strong lineup of Hindi films this weekend. Veer Murarbaji: The Battle of Purandar hit cinemas on February 19. Directed by Ajay and Anirudh Arekar, this historical drama chronicles the bravery of Murarbaji Deshpande during a key battle in the 17th century. The film, released in both Marathi and Hindi, brings period spectacle and martial fervour to the big screen.

In theatres this week

On February 20, Do Deewane Seher Mein arrives in theatres, offering a contemporary romantic story about two imperfect individuals navigating love and life in an urban setting. Directed by Ravi Udyawar and featuring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Mrunal Thakur, the film blends emotional depth with relatable themes of timing, destiny and relationships.

Also releasing on February 20 is Assi, a courtroom drama by Anubhav Sinha starring Taapsee Pannu. The film centres on a high-profile legal battle and examines questions of justice, societal responsibility and the personal costs of pursuing the truth, supported by a strong ensemble including Naseeruddin Shah and Revathi.

In addition to these Indian films, the Hollywood animated sports comedy GOAT is also releasing in theatres on February 20. The film follows an underdog goat’s pursuit of sporting glory and promises family-friendly entertainment with a comedic edge.

Across OTT platforms and theatres, the week offers a wide spectrum of genres.
