From action thrillers to quirky rom‑coms, eight new titles debut across Netflix, Prime Video, Jio and regional platforms between September 28 and October 4.
Telugu Picks
The most talked‑about drop is Sardar 2, the sequel to the 2025 hit. It lands on Amazon Prime Video on October 1, starring S.J. Surya and M. Mohan. The plot pits a retired officer and his son against a rogue biotech group wielding a lethal serum called ‘Doku’. Expect high‑octane set‑pieces and a race against time.
Just a day later, Netflix rolls out Romanchakam, a romantic comedy starring Sumant Prabhas and Anantika Sanil. The story follows Anvesh, an engineer‑turned‑entrepreneur who launches a dating‑app that matches strangers, yet he can’t win over his own crush. The film mixes startup woes with classic love‑pursuit hijinks.
For fans of gritty drama, Jagdhartri premieres on the regional platform G5 on September 28. The Kannada‑language series follows a seemingly shy housewife who secretly works as an undercover intelligence operative. Lead performances by Mokshit and Vijay Lalith keep the tension tight.
A lighter offering arrives on ETV Win as List Eligible Bachelor on September 30. The comedy‑drama tracks a middle‑class youngster battling family pressure to marry, only to discover that his ‘unsuitable’ label fuels a series of hilarious mishaps.
South Indian Mix
Malayalam cinema joins the party with Bethlehem Kudumba Unit, streaming on JioStar from October 2. The film stars Nivin Pauly and Mamitha Baiju, charting the reunion of Yashlee and Justin in Ireland and the musical bond that blossoms into romance, despite age gaps and family objections.
Tamil audiences get Love, a Netflix series debuting October 2. It pits two rival founders of dating‑app startups against each other, played by Arjun Das and Aishwarya Lakshmi. Their professional rivalry soon blurs into personal entanglements, offering a fresh take on tech‑driven romance.
Hindi & Others
Prime Video revives the quirky mystery Dupahiyā Season 2 on October 1. Returning cast members Gajraj Rao and Renuka Shahane investigate a new mobile‑tower crisis in the fictional town of Dadakpur, blending slapstick comedy with small‑town drama.
Netflix’s Oh My Dog drops on October 1 as well. The investigative comedy follows a missing dog case that intertwines with the disappearance of a laborer, leading to a series of unexpected revelations.
Finally, J5 streams Pooja Mary Jane from October 2, a psychological crime thriller starring Mrunal Thakur and Huma Qureshi. It delves into obsessive love and the dangerous line between affection and harassment.
All these titles sit alongside a slew of international releases – from English‑language documentaries to Chinese web series – making the September 28‑October 4 window one of the busiest on Indian OTT screens.
The spread across platforms shows how streaming services are diversifying content to capture regional audiences while still courting global viewers. Keep an eye on viewership numbers. Early buzz suggests Sardar 2 could become Prime Video’s top‑performing Indian title of the month.
For now, the only decision left to viewers is which genre to binge first.
