Kaalidas 2 (Tamil, Crime Thriller)

Streaming on Prime Video, Sun NXT, and Aha from May 12 Bharath steps into his cop role again in this standalone sequel to 2019’s Kaalidas. Director Sri Senthil serves up a whole new case with high stakes and lots of tension. You’ll see Abarnathi, Bhavani Sre, and the ever-reliable Prakash Raj in the mix. If you liked the first film’s gritty vibe, you’re in for more of the same.

Oru Durooha Saahacharyathil (Malayalam, Mystery Comedy Thriller)

Streaming on Netflix from May 13, Ratheesh Balakrishnan Poduval, known for his quirky, unpredictable films, is back. Kunchacko Boban leads, with Dileesh Pothan and Sajin Gopu alongside. You get oddball characters in weird situations and a slow-burning puzzle to figure out. If you’re after something offbeat, this one’s probably it.

Thimmarajupalli TV (Telugu, Comedy)

Release platform’s still a mystery, but drops May 15 Directed by V Muniraju and starring Sai Tej, Veda Jallandar, and Kiran Abbavaram. The details are pretty vague, but it’s a small-town comedy that should be good if you’re after some laughs to end your week.

So, what’s got your attention this week?

If you want pure action, get a ticket to Karuppu. For a binge session, try Exam or Kaalidas 2 on Prime. And for something that’s a little weird and fun, Oru Durooha Saahacharyathil on Netflix sounds like a good bet.
