NEW DELHI, India — March 21, 2025 — Streaming platforms are introducing a wave of new content this week, featuring an eclectic mix of action films, crime dramas, and heartwarming stories. If you’re looking for adrenaline-pumping aerial battles, engaging police investigations, or tales of friendship amidst turmoil, there’s something to binge-watch this weekend.

Leading the lineup is the highly anticipated film Sky Force, which dramatizes India’s first airstrike on Pakistan during the 1965 Indo-Pak War. The narrative revolves around Squadron Leader T. Krishna Vijaya, portrayed as a brave officer who fought valiantly, echoing the real-life hero Ajjamada Boppayya Devayya, who posthumously received the Maha Vir Chakra. The film promises spectacular aerial combat sequences that set the stage for a gripping viewing experience.

Another highlight is Khakee: The Bengal Chapter, a gritty crime drama set in early 2000s Bengal, where the city is engulfed by crime families and corrupt politicians. The story follows a determined police officer, Arjun Maitra, tasked with combating the syndicate led by the notorious Shankar Barua. This narrative dives deep into the struggles of justice against a backdrop of systemic corruption.

Officer on Duty recounts the journey of Inspector Harishankar, who faces challenges stemming from his own anger management issues. Now a Circle Inspector tasked with investigating a jewelry racket, he soon uncovers a darker, more complex criminal plot. The film interweaves investigative drama with high-stakes action, ensuring viewers are kept on the edge of their seats.

Kanneda shifts the narrative focus to Nimma, a Punjabi immigrant ignited by the traumatic 1984 anti-Sikh riots. As he relocates to Canada, his quest for a fresh start is plagued by identity struggles and harsh realities of discrimination. The film explores the dangerous path he travels, entwined with Toronto’s criminal underbelly, pushing him to make perilous survival choices.

In a departure from reality, Wicked takes audiences into the fantastical Land of Oz, depicting the unique friendship between Elphaba and Glinda, two witches with starkly contrasting lives. Their bond is tested through enchanting trials, illustrating themes of loyalty and ambition.

Also notable is the Oscar-winning film Anora, which tells the tumultuous story of a young woman from Brooklyn whose life spirals into chaos after marrying Ivan, a Russian oligarch’s son. Following their impulsive Vegas wedding, the couple faces intense familial opposition, making for an emotional narrative that intertwines love and privilege.

Directed by Ashwath Marimuthu, Dragon depicts Ragavan’s transition from a studious computer science student to a rebellious figure riddled with setbacks, leading him to confront his life choices.
