The biggest Indian release this week is Kajol and Kriti Sanon's crime thriller Do Patti. We will see the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai star essaying the role of a cop for the first time. Sanon here has a double role and also serves as the film's producer. Next is the highly acclaimed mythology series, The Legend of Hanuman returning for the fifth time, with more slices from the epic Hindu scripts. Amongst the post-theatrical releases is National award-winning Revathi's sensitive drama Aye Zindagi, which explores the emotional torment of liver cirrhosis and transplantation based on true incidents. In SonyLiv's Million Dollar Listing, we explore India's luxury real estate industry.

On the international front, the goofy vampire mockumentary, What We Do in the Shadows, comes to a close with its final season dropping on Hotstar. We explore the gritty criminal underworld of Japan in the video-game-based series Like A Dragon: Yazuka and get our wits challenged in Apple TV's psychological thriller Before, which comes with hints of horror. Our final pick of the week is Hellbound Season 2, where we explore more of a futuristic world where supernatural beings are condemning humans to hell.
