Cat Factory Season 3

Kota Factory follows a group of engineering aspirants preparing for the IIT-JEE entrance exam in the northern Indian city of Kota in Rajasthan, which has now become a hub for coaching centers. Over the years, the city has seen an alarming increase in the number of students committing suicide. The show centers on a physics lecturer (Jitendra Kumar) who believes in establishing a more personal connection with students, helps them with all their personal and academic challenges and likes being called ‘Jeetu Bhaiya’. In season three, we see him confused and questioning everything after one of his students commits suicide (in the season two finale).

In this thriller, Karan, a Mumbai cop, is mortally injured in a hitjob, after which his estranged twin Arjun takes his place (cinematically?). The first two episodes are now available to watch on Hotstar and the remaining six episodes will be released weekly. Expect lots of gangsters, guns, fight sequences, swearing and chases. Directed by Aditya Dutt (Crakk, Table No. 21). It stars Gulshan Devaiah, Anurag Kashyap, Harleen Sethi, Saurabh Sachdeva and Aishwarya Sushmita in the lead roles.

Bigg Boss OTT Season 3

When: Now streaming

Where: JioCinema

Every year the glitzy reality show returns to the Indian screens and this year is no exception. The show continues its basic concept: a group of popular celebrities stay in an isolated house – albeit in luxury – and compete for a lucrative cash prize. During their stay, they perform various tasks assigned to them by the titular Bigg Boss. Every week we say goodbye to each participant, depending on their performance and the votes of the audience. While the first season was hosted by Karan Johar and the second season was hosted by Salman Khan (who hosted the maximum number of TV versions of the show), Anil Kapoor will take over the role this time.

Federer: The last twelve days

When: Now streaming

Where: Prime Video

If you follow tennis, prepare to be wowed by this impressive documentary. The film chronicles the last 12 days of the illustrious career of Swiss former professional tennis player Roger Federer. Because the documentary was originally shot as a home video with no plan for public viewing, it shows Federer at his most vulnerable and honest. It also features interviews with his legendary rivals and close friends, including Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray.

Aranmanai 4

When: Now streaming

Where: Hotstar

Imagine a happy family living in a peaceful forest and having the best time of their lives. In a rather unexpected turn of events, the husband tries to kill his wife (Tamannaah Bhatia) and two children, which ends in his death along with his wife, leaving two surviving children. At this point, the wife’s estranged brother, a lawyer, played by Sundar C – who is also the film’s director and screenwriter – enters the scene and begins a blood-curdling investigation. The film is the fourth installment in the Aranmanai horror and comedy series. Expect lots of chills, laughter and drama.
