Dhurandhar 2: The revenge arrives on OTT

One of the most talked-about releases is “Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge,” which arrives in its digital “Raw & Uncut” version.

Ryan Gosling’s “Project Hail Mary” is another major highlight this week. The film follows an astronaut who wakes up alone on a spacecraft with no memory of his mission, only to discover that he is humanity’s last hope against a solar-level catastrophe.

The story revolves around his struggle to piece together his identity and complete a critical mission that could determine Earth’s survival. The sci-fi film is available for digital viewing through Amazon Prime Video and other platforms.

Kartavya adds a crime drama element

Saif Ali Khan’s “Kartavya” also joins the week’s OTT slate, bringing a crime thriller centred on political and investigative drama. The film features Khan in a complex role that explores justice, duty, and moral conflict.

The release adds to the strong lineup of Indian content arriving this week, particularly for viewers interested in intense narrative-driven stories.
