This weekend brings a wave of fresh content for movie enthusiasts, with several exciting releases now available on OTT platforms. Here’s a roundup of the films that promise to enhance your binge-watching plans.
“Coupling,” a Malayalam film directed by Sarjano Khalid, features Vyshnavi Raj alongside the lead.

Streaming on Manorama Max starting November 14, “Coupling” is expected to resonate with viewers seeking a heartfelt exploration of love’s challenges.
Another notable release is “Avihitham,” also in Malayalam, which presents a comedic yet sharp look at small-town dynamics. Set in the northern regions of Kerala, the story kicks off with a man mistakenly believing he has witnessed an affair between his neighbors. His chatter gives way to a tapestry of gossip that rapidly spreads and disrupts the community. This clever narrative, co-written by Hegde and Ambareesh Kalathara, transforms the potentially heavy subject of infidelity into a humorous satire, showcasing the absurdity of rural judgment and societal norms. “Avihitham” will be available on JioHotstar from November 14.

Lastly, the English-language film “Jurassic World Rebirth” continues the beloved franchise, taking place after the events of “Jurassic World Dominion.” This installment focuses on Zora Bennett and her team of elite researchers as they explore perilous territories in search of de-extinct species, aiming to unlock groundbreaking medical advancements.
