The predominant theme of this week's fresh releases seems to be thrill and suspense. We travel to the Regency era, a superhero world, a crime site, and a bizarre case of mass suicide. The biggest releases of them all are Prime Video's The Boys Season 4 – which follows the group of familiar vigilantes trying to take down corrupt superheroes – and Netflix's Bridgerton Season 3 Part 2, in which we see the elites entangled in complex love triangles and gossips.
Among Indian originals, JioCinema has dished out a thrilling murder mystery, Gaanth: Chapter 1, which forces you to think about societal psychosis. Next in line is Apple TV's somewhat similar drama Presumed Innocent in which a prosecuting offers is accused of killing his colleague.
If you are in the mood for something light-hearted, you can go for Do aur Do Pyaar on Hotstar, which revolves around loveless marriages, extramarital affairs, and romantic drama with an overall comedic tone. Another alternative is Zee5's Luv Ki Arrange Marriage, in which the single parents of a potential arranged marriage couple end up falling in love with each other.
However, if you don't want anything from romance or thrill genres, there is a new heartwarming show on Amazon miniTV this week called Sisterhood, which is worth watching. It is set in an all-girl convent school and focuses on a group of four girls: studious Zoya (Anvesha Vij), roguish Nikita (Nitya Mathur), slow learner Ann (Bhagyashree Limaye), and savage Gargee (Nidhi Bhanushali). The show serves gallops of nostalgia and is likely to make you smile several times. Do not expect a very deep digging into the complexities of human emotions, though.

Do aur Do Pyaar

Extramarital affairs are not a new concept, but what if you end up having an affair with your spouse without the knowledge of your secret beau? Chaotic, right? This is what happens in Do aur Do Pyaar. The romantic comedy focuses on a couple (Vidya Balan and Pratik Gandhi) stuck in a loveless marriage, with both partners having a secret relationship outside their marriage. While looking for the right time to confess their disloyalty and break off the marriage, the unexpected happens, and they start having an affair with each other. Lots of confusion, yelling, sneaking around, drama, and laughter follow.
