The last week of May 2024 will see several movies and web series making their way to the digital space. The upcoming OTT releases in India are a mix of multiple genres. The list has several awaited titles, from family dramas and romances to political and crime thrillers. From the highly anticipated Panchayat: Season 3 to Randeep Hooda’s Swatantra Veer Savarkar, many exciting releases are slated for this week. Here’s the list.
Panchayat Season 3
It is safe to say that Panchayat won millions of hearts with its comedy-drama storyline. The show narrates life in a small village and touches on multiple social issues. The show began in 2020 with Jitendra Kumar playing the lead role of Panchayat Secretary Abhishek Tripathi. Neena Gupta, Raghubir Yadav, Faisal Malik, Chandan Roy, and Sanvikaa portray supporting characters in the show.
The first season of Panchayat received a lot of love from the audience for its light-hearted theme. Therefore, the show’s third season is highly anticipated. Panchayat: Season 3 will showcase the local elections and is expected to send another heart-touching social message.
The official synopsis of Panchayat: Season 3 reads, “As the Panchayat elections approach, both Pradhan and Bhushan gangs engage in a fierce battle to uplift their public image. Navigating the murky waters of Phulera politics, Abhishek does his best to maintain his objectivity.” The new season will be available to stream on Amazon Prime Video from May 28.
Swatantra Veer Savarkar
Bollywood actor Randeep Hooda recently played the role of revolutionary freedom fighter Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, aka Veer Savarkar, in the latest film Swatantra Veer Savarkar. Not only did he play the lead role in the film, but he also contributed to its writing and served as its director.
While the title explains that the movie is a biographical drama, it takes the audience through India’s freedom struggle and how Savarkar played a crucial role. Moreover, the British also titled him the most dangerous man in India for his reforming approach, which contrasted with Mahatma Gandhi.
Besides Hooda, the movie also stars Ankita Lokhande, Amit Sial, R Bhakti Klein, Rajesh Khera, Mark Bennington, and more. The film hit the theaters on March 22 but failed to mint good numbers. It is now set for its OTT release. Swatantra Veer Savarkar will arrive on ZEE5 on May 28.
Illegal: Season 3
Neha Sharma is returning to her lawyer role, Niharika Singh, in the new season of Illegal. The courtroom drama began in 2020 and received acclaim from critics and viewers. Its IMDb rating is 8 out of 10, and the upcoming season is expected to amaze the audience.
The series follows the story of Niharika, an infamous lawyer who opposes renowned lawyers to seek justice for her clients. Besides Sharma, the upcoming season also stars Akshay Oberoi as Akshay Jaitley and Piyush Mishra as Janardhan Jaitley. The makers have confirmed that the new season will feature a bigger battle.
Illegal Season 3’s official synopsis reads, “What do you do when justice itself is out of order? A legal drama, set in the lesser-known world of a high-end law firm where justice is measured against billable hours, and the lawyers are seldom on the right side of the law.”
The show is set to arrive on Jio Cinema on May 29.
