3 Movies Which Will Keep You Hooked Until Panchayat Season 4 Arrives! (Photo Credit – Prime Video)

After three much-loved seasons, viewers are now waiting with bated breath for the arrival of Panchayat Season 4, which premieres on Amazon Prime Video on June 24, 2025. If you love the rustic charm and simple storytelling that define Panchayat, some other heartfelt village-centric films have similar warmth, realism, and relatable characters. Here are three beautifully crafted movies you can stream on Ott right now to fill the gap until Phulera’s next chapter arrives on your screen.

3. Village Rockstars (2017) Streaming On – Netflix IMDb Rating – 7.2/10 Directed By – Rima Das

Plot: The heartwarming Assamese language drama follows a ten-year-old girl named Dhunu (played by Bhanita Das), who lives in poverty in rural Assam. After seeing a group of boys performing at a local event, she dreams of forming a rock band of her own. Defying societal norms and with the support of her single mother,...

Actor Gulshan Devaiah talks with Subhash K Jha about A Death In The Gunj which released eight years ago on June 2nd.

Gulshan, how do you look back on the experience of working in Konkona Sen Sharma’s directorial debut?

A Death In The Gunj is the only film of mine I absolutely loved upon first viewing. I saw the premiere during Mami in a packed Regal Cinema and I even forgot I was in it! Do you know Konkona initially offered me the part of another character Vikramjit?

Really? Then what happened?

To be honest I was actually quite interested in playing Vikramjit. But I knew that Konkona always had Ranvir Shorey in her mind for it, and they were separated by then. I told her that if they can find a way to work together, I’ll happily step aside because he was her first choice and they...

Enjoyed Black, White & Gray? You Must Watch This Dark Crime Thriller On Ott (Photo Credit – Sony Liv)

When the six-part crime thriller Black, White & Gray: Love Kills was released earlier this month on SonyLIV, it received a fantastic response from critics and the streaming audience. If you have seen the series and enjoyed it (or even haven’t watched it yet), we recommend checking out an underappreciated, dark crime thriller on Ott. We are talking about the 2021 show Tabbar (a Punjabi word which means family). Read on to know more about the series and where you can stream it.

Tabbar – Plot & Cast

The eight-episode family drama thriller revolves around a retired cop, Omkar Singh (played by Pavan Malhotra), who lives with his family in Jalandhar, Punjab. When Omkar’s elder son mistakenly brings home an identical bag, the bag owner tracks him and arrives at his home to take it back.

Rajat Kapoor star of 2007’s Bheja Fry delves into the making of the hit comedy that is considered a cult classic, working with Vinay Pathak and Ranvir Shorey, his coming next, and more.

Eighteen years of Bheja Fry, how do you look back on this cult success?

This is a film that gave a kickstart to many of our careers. This was also the kind of the beginning of what came to be known as multiplex films and was a new kind of audience.

What was the process of shooting like? What was your camaraderie like with your co-stars Vinay Pathak and Ranvir Shorey?

The shoot was amazing. Being a very low-budget kind of film, we finished shooting the entire film in 20 days. It was twenty hectic days of great joy. The camaraderie on the set was incredible. Vinay , Ranvir, and I were already friends. We had done a play,...

Kanneda Ott Verdict: Onwards & Upwards Towards Beating Paatal Lok? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

A crime drama on JioHotstar has been making all kinds of right noises with its content, and in three weeks, Kanneda, starring Parmish Verma, has garnered a viewership of 11.9 million views on the platform as per the latest data.

On The Right Track To Beat Pataal Lok!

In three weeks, the web series has already garnered 74% of the total views garnered by Pataal Lok on Prime Video in four weeks. The web series has also been finding a spot in the top 10 most-watched web originals on Ott in India!

Kanneda Ott Verdict Week 3

Parmish Verma‘s web series started on a roaring note, and it took a jump in week 2. Despite witnessing a drop in week 3, Kanneda took the third spot in the list of most-watched streaming originals in India for the week of March 21 to April 6, 2025, with...

Once again, Subhash K Jha revisits a film in his This Day That Year series, this installment shines the spotlight on the film Thanks Maa. A gritty hard hitting drama of a street kid’s search for an infant’s mother also, according to the director, paid a tribute to Salman Khan’s career.

Strongly reminiscent of Mira Nair’s Salaam Bombay and far more resonantly representative of Mumbai’s slum kids than Slumdog Millionaire, Thanks Maa, which clocks fifteen years on March 5, is a journey into lives that were born into despair. Without the crutches of self-pity, debutant director Irfan Kamal (son of the reputed choreographer Kamal) enters the world of the orphaned protagonist named Municipality, who, on one of those routine days of scavenging, stealing, and hanging around with his friends waiting for the next meal comes across an abandoned little infant. The film shows the gritty, harsh...

The film that Sushant Singh Rajput will be most remembered by, Sonechiriya, which turned six on March 1, is the most anguished plea against injustice and oppression since Bimal Roy’s Sujata. The deep silences in Abhishek Chaubey’s clenched narrative reminded me of Roy’s film about a Harijan girl (Nutan) looking for an identity.

We don’t have Harijans anymore as targets of exploitation. Director Abhishek Chaubey uses eerie silences in the stunning Chambal landscape to punctuate a sense of excruciating oppression. Besides Sushant and Ranvir Shorey, I came away with two heroes in Sonechiriya. The little brutalized girl from whom the film gets its title, whose devastated eyes still secrete a smile after all she has gone through. Raw, gritty, and compelling, Sonechiriya conveys a clandestine narrative style that never impinges on the violent disarray of the characters’ brutal, unpredictable lives. It is as Indian in spirit as cinema can get,...

Lights, Camera, Jaipur! Celebrating 25 years of cinematic brilliance, the International Indian Film Academy Weekend & Awards silver jubilee edition will take centre stage in Jaipur, Rajasthan on March 8th–9th, 2025!

A look back at Raja Krishan Menon‘s 2003 debut directorial Bas Yun Hi as it celebrates 22 years. We also get some insight as the director talks with Subhash K Jha.

The young 20-nothing metro-waasi never had it so good. Or bad. After Freaky Chakra where a freaked-out sutradhar, played by veejay Ranvir Shorey, gets all foamy and frustrated when he can no longer control the destiny of the characters he creates, this time another veejay turned, ahem, actor Purab Kohli sets up a fey doll Veda (Nandita Das) to woo a superstitious friend Rohan (Rajiv Gopalakrishnan) as a joke and then behaves like Aamir Khan in the post-interval half of Dil Chahta Hai.

The prank gets a yucky yank when stupid Cupid, the devilish matchmaker Aditya, realizes he loves flaky Veda for himself. He sulks like a brat being denied his favourite television show and finally grins when she consents to be his girl.

Some films just get you interested for all the wrong reasons. Think about it. This is a sex comedy about a bored and boring man who wants to pep up his life with a bit of wife-swapping… hardly the kind of theme and film that would qualify as little more than an effort to titillate audiences with a whole lot of junk feud in the domestic ambience.

Strangely and refreshingly Mixed Doubles, which completes 19 years on February 10, transcends the inherent limitations of its genre. The pincer-sharp dialogues (Anurag Kashyap) and a handful of believable actors who seem to understand the inner world of their urbane characters help to create a sense of lived-in reality in this brief film about giggly grief.

Director Rajat Kapoor, who made the quirky Raghu Romeo, seems to revel in the realm of the goofy. His ‘hero’ is a working-class bore, Sunil(played with acute fidelity...

The story and screenplay of this strongly citified fable on sexual liberation is credited to as many as seven writers. Too many cooks definitely don’t spoil this bubbly broth of uneven and yet endearing components from theatre, music videos, cinema, literature, soap operas, and sitcoms that merge with mirthful sighs.

Coming in the wake of the other films like Farhan Akhtar’s Dil Chahta Hai, Somnath Sen’s Leela, and Shashilal Nair’s Ek Chotisi Love Story about very young men being attracted to women old enough to be their moms, Freaky Chakra does suffer from a haven’t-we-seen-it-all disadvantage.

Fortunately for second-time director V.K. Prakash, his film is the most original among the films on the sexual diaspora. Its emotional graph swings from the ridiculously risible to the modestly poignant, sometimes combining both, as in the character of the pathetic Sunderam (Sachin Khedekar), the hypochondriac who keeps ringing...

Fans of Mx Player’s iconic series can rejoice as several beloved shows return with new seasons. The political crime thriller Aashram,...

It has been 18 years since Madhur Bhandarkar8s drama Traffic Signal was released. Subhash K Jha revisits the film and shares some very intriguing answers the director gave when the film hit the big screen.

Life for Madhur Bhandarkar’s characters sucks. They’re often a victim of sexual and political abuse. And you’re inclined to turn away from their anguish. What redeems the people in Traffic Signal are their frailties and their unquestionable humanism. The director captures them in on a cascading and mutating canvas. We see lives frozen in a state of emotional and economical imbroglio.

The characters are often seen doing the metaphysical equivalent of picking their nose in public. There’s no shame in letting it all hang out as long as the characters are prone to probe their wounds in bouts of agonized satire.

If Page 3 probed the beau-monde with incredible emotional sharpness, Traffic...

Raveena Tandon Once Confirmed The Camp Culture In Bollywood( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Raveena Tandon is quite transparent about her life, and she is not afraid to say things often avoided by others. For example, a few years back, after the tragic and untimely demise of Sushant Singh Rajput, many things were unveiled on social media. People debated about the conditions of outsiders compared to insiders in the film industry. Raveena opened up about the discrimination in the Hindi film industry. Scroll below for the deets.

For the unversed, Sushant passed away in June 2024 by suicide. His death sparked several controversies, and it also pulled in several Bollywood actors and actresses. During that time, big names like Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt, Sonakshi Sinha, and Sonam Kapoor came up with Hashtags, including Boycott Bollywood, Boycott Karan Johar Movie Gang, and more. Nepotism was also a part of the big debate and is...

More than 16 years after the release of Singh Is Kinng, a sequel to the hit action comedy film is finally in the works. Producer Shailendra Singh, who has acquired the title’s rights from Akshay Kumar and producer Vipul A Shah, has confirmed that Singh Is Kinng 2 is officially developing.

However, the movie will not continue the journey of Akshay Kumar’s Happy Singh; instead, it will follow a new character. According to Shailendra, he plans to sign either Ranveer Singh or Diljit Dosanjh for the lead role. Producer Shailendra Singh Confirms Singh Is Kinng Sequel

In an interview with Midday, Shailendra Singh revealed that he wanted to make Singh Is Kinng 2 for years, but the rights had lied with Akshay Kumar and Vipul A Shah, who refused to let them go.

How often do you come across a good remake of a film? The Signature, directed by Gajendra Ahire, is the heartfelt tale of a man desperately looking for ways to keep his wife alive. It would seem like a love story, but there are many themes uncovered by the writer-director as the film progresses.

The complex bond between attachment and release is deeply intertwined with love and mortality. In our lives, we tend to pose a significant question to our partners about the aftermath of one’s death, or rather, who dies first. The responses are typically complex, simplistic, or non-existent. Yet, the familiar pattern of shuttling between home and hospital, clinging to a sliver of hope, has become an undeniable reality. It’s as tangible as the clash between eternal love and the harsh truths of existence. Gajendra Ahire, a more pronounced name in the Marathi film industry, tries to tackle this dilemma in “The Signature,” which, of course, is not for the first time. Yet, the perspective that it chooses is complicated and sensitive- that of an old man with a much more energetic wife who finds herself unexpectedly on the verge of death.

The middle-aged, retired librarian Arvind is living a happy life,...

Sherlock Holmes has been adapted in so many ways that there’s no point in partaking in any kind of pearl clutching activities anymore. Of course, the adaptations featuring Basil Rathbone, Peter Cushing, Jeremy Brett, Michael Caine, Robert Downey Jr., Ian McKellen, Benedict Cumberbatch, and even Jonny Lee Miller will be celebrated by fans of Arthur Conan Doyle’s work. But they also have to deal with the likes of Holmes & Watson, Enola Holmes, Sherlock Gnomes, and Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd century. And you’d think that after a show with a female Sherlock Holmes, a play in which Sherlock and Watson are in a gay relationship, and an animated series by Hayao Miyazaki where the characters are anthropomorphic animals, there’s no way that a new adaptation can surprise you.

Eliminations

Ranvir Shorey was also eliminated, leaving Sana Makbul and Naezy as the top two finalists.

Certainly, Sai Ketan Rao has indeed carved out a distinctive and commendable path in the entertainment industry. Here’s a more concise and persuasive outline of why he deserves to win Bigg Boss Ott 3:

1. No Godfather in the Industry

Sai Ketan Rao’s rise is a narrative of pure talent and relentless effort. Unlike many who benefit from industry connections, Sai’s journey is self-driven, demonstrating that hard work and dedication can pave the way to success. His independent climb within the entertainment world makes his potential victory a symbol of merit over nepotism.

2. Raised by a Single Mother

Sai’s upbringing by a single mother imbued him with resilience and strength. This background not only shaped his character but also resonates deeply with many viewers. His story of overcoming challenges and honoring his mother’s sacrifices is inspirational, adding depth to his public persona and connecting with the audience on a personal level.

The fight for the Bigg Boss Ott 3 trophy is heating up as the grand finale approaches. Recently, the show saw the emotional elimination of Armaan Malik and Lovekesh Kataria, leaving fans and contestants in a state of shock. Following his exit, Lovekesh reunited with his fellow contestants Munisha Khatwani and Vishal Pandey, and Munisha shared a picture of their reunion on Instagram, highlighting their strong bond.

In the picture, the trio radiated excitement and friendship, posing with big smiles. Munisha captioned the post, “The real bond I made in the house,” tagging Lovekesh and Vishal. Vishal Pandey responded to the post with a comment, “Munni ji,” and Lovekesh added heart emojis.

Voice Growing Louder

“I Can See Your Voice,” the mystery music show which has been a hit format for South Korea’s Cj Enm, will strike a new chord with its 30th local adaptation set for Singapore.

The show in which guests have to identify whether the contestants are genuinely talented singers or bad singers based solely on lip-syncing and body language, is set to be adapted by public broadcaster Mediacorp. The aim is to eliminate the poor singers while identifying the talented ones to emerge as the winner.

It has previously been given local editions in countries including the U.S., the U.K, Germany, France, Thailand and the Philippines.

“[The adapted show is] set to bring our audiences weeks of family-friendly, dynamic entertainment. Beyond the excitement and suspense that comes with game shows, fans can also look forward to the unique showcase of raw performing talent beyond conventional singing abilities,” said Mediacorp’s chief content officer,...

Controversial YouTuber Armaan Malik, despite his eviction from “Bigg Boss Ott 3” just before the finale, still has a chance to see his family win as his wife, Kritika Malik, is among the five finalists. However, Armaan is rooting for fellow contestant and actor Ranvir Shorey to take home the trophy.

In an interview with a paparazzo on Instagram post-eviction, Armaan expressed his admiration for Shorey, stating that the ₹25 lakh prize money means little to the actor and that Shorey truly deserves to win. Armaan remarked, “Paisa unke liye kuchh nahi hai. He deserves to win aur main chahta hu trophy unhi ko mile” (Money doesn’t matter to him. He deserves to win and I wish he gets the trophy).

She also criticized Armaan Malik for belittling Sana and called him out for his ‘double standards.’
