Meiyazhagan:
If you haven’t seen it already, then skip everything else and start streaming Meiyazhagan. As many describe it, this film “feels like a warm embrace.” Yet, beyond that, it’s also a 2-hour, 30-minute journey that rekindles your love for life’s simple joys. Starring Karthi and Arvind Swamy, this gem is written and directed by C Prem Kumar, known for his nostalgic storytelling style.
Meiyazhagan is streaming on Netflix.
Gaganachari:
The Malayalam film industry is known for its pioneering narrative styles, and Gaganachari is one such unique attempt. If you’re in the mood for some wacky comedy in a mockumentary style, look no further than this 2040s-set tale following an “alien hunter.” Yes, an alien hunter! Directed by Arun Chandu, the film stars Gokul Suresh, Aju Varghese, Anarkali Marikar, and KB Ganesh Kumar, and is now available to stream after a few months’ wait.
Gaganachari is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
Kadaisi Ulaga Por:
Continuing the futuristic theme, Tamil movie Kadaisi Ulaga Por deserves your attention for its ambitious concept. Though made on a modest budget, director, writer, and star Hiphop Tamizha Aadhi attempts to tackle a global issue through a local political lens. While budget constraints are visible in the visuals, the film delivers a compelling story.

Zwigato:
The long-awaited Zwigato finally makes its streaming debut. Ironically, it’s a story about gig workers who depend on timely deliveries to keep their jobs. Premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2022 and acclaimed at other major festivals, Zwigato didn’t perform as expected in theaters but now finds an ideal home on streaming platforms. Directed by Nandita Das, it follows the struggles of Manas Singh Mahto (Kapil Sharma) as he balances the demands of a stressful job with low pay. Shahana Goswami, Gul Panag, and Sayani Gupta round out the cast.

Mixing seduction, vengeance, and sibling rivalry within the frame of a police investigation, this film keeps you guessing. Starring Kajol as a determined cop and Kriti Sanon in a double role as twin sisters, Do Patti promises to deliver suspense and drama.
