Breaking monotony is the need of the hour as we once again battle the second wave of this pandemic. While we are better prepared this time around of what to expect, OTT platforms are back to the rescue once again with marvellous titles releasing across genres. The return of the IPL is surely entertaining but for the offbeat cinema, lovers come to cheer with the lineup of new releases this week across Netflix India, Voot Select, SonyLIV Disney+Hotstar and Zee5.

Ajeeb Daastaans - 16th April - Netflix India

Karan Johar produced Ajeeb Daastaans is an anthology of four strangely contrasting stories which delve into fractured relationships and unexplored spaces. The stories set in varied milieus, explore jealousy, entitlement, prejudices and toxicity, which are often entangled within the heart of their relationships. Each story also takes you on a journey where one would struggle with the moral dilemma of what's right and what's wrong, as the lines between them get blurred.
