Upcoming OTT releases of the week: 'Mardaani 3', 'Bait', and more

If your watchlist looks a little thin, don’t worry, this coming week is about to deliver. This week, streaming platforms are dropping a wild mix of new releases. You’ve got big Hollywood sequels, bold Indian films, and some indie curveballs in the lineup. No matter what you’re into, superheroes, musicals, patriotic blockbusters, or something a little offbeat, there’s something to dive into.

What really makes this week pop is the range. On one end, you’ve got a heavy-hitter like Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, back with more grit and fan-favorite faces. At the same time, new shows like Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen are shaking things up with fresh ideas. It’s a reminder that streaming isn’t just about endless episodes; it’s a place where stories from all over the world get their shot. With Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu, and even more languages in the mix, there’s no shortage of options.

Here’s what’s dropping this week, and why you’ll want to check it out:

With ‘Mardaani 3’, Rani Mukerji is stepping back into the role of SSP Shivani Shivaji Roy. This time, Shivani’s up against a ruthless beggar mafia and a child trafficking ring, fighting to save 93 missing girls. The story kicks off with the kidnapping of a diplomat’s daughter, then digs deeper into a much bigger conspiracy: illegal medical experiments and human trafficking, all masterminded by a villain called "Amma." The investigation moves through Delhi and spills over into other parts of India. Shivani faces one intense case after another, dealing with kidnappings involving both privileged and poor children. Mallika Prasad plays "Amma," while Janki Bodiwala is Constable Fatima Anwar, helping Shivani navigate the gritty battle for justice.

‘Mardaani 3’ doesn’t shy away from tough themes, like human trafficking, the cruelty of the beggar mafia, and what it really means to fight for kids who barely have a voice.

Marvel fans, your big moment is here. ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ returns for a second season, picking up with Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer by day and vigilante by night, as he faces off against Wilson Fisk, who’s now pulling political strings all over New York. Everything’s darker now: more danger, tougher choices, and yes, Jessica Jones is back too. The action’s brutal, the courtroom scenes are sharp, and things get pretty tense psychologically. From the early buzz, Daredevil’s now a target himself, hunted and forced to work in secret, building alliances to push back against Fisk’s power grab.
