1. Made in Korea — Netflix | March 12
Cast: Priyanka Arul Mohan, Hye-jin, No Ho-jin, Rishikanth | Director: Ra. Karthik
Priyanka Arul Mohan leads this heartwarming Tamil adventure as Shenbagam — a small-town Tamil Nadu girl who has nursed a lifelong fascination with Korean culture. When she finally lands in Seoul, her dream trip quickly turns into a journey of self-discovery, cultural clashes, and quiet personal courage. It’s the kind of feel-good travel drama that hits differently when you know nothing about Korea but end up learning everything that matters.
2. Nawab Cafe — ETVWin | March 12
Cast: Shiva Kandukuri, Rajeev Kanakala, Teju Ashwini | Director: Pramod Harsha | Runtime: 2 hr 17 min
A humble tea seller’s simple life is upended when ambition nudges him into unfamiliar territory. As new opportunities close in, so do new dangers, and he finds that staying true to himself becomes harder the closer success gets. A grounded Telugu story about ambition, integrity, and the price of wanting more.
3. Local Times — Amazon Prime Video | March 13
Cast: Rishikanth, Abdool Lee, R. Pandiarajan, Rini | Director: Naveen George Thomas
Set inside a local Tamil newspaper office, this comedy drama taps into something very real — the slow death of print media in the digital age. The journalists here are fighting not just deadlines but irrelevance, and the result is a funny yet quietly melancholic story about legacy, loyalty, and what happens when the world moves on without you.
4. Resort — JioHotstar | March 13
Cast: Vijay Kumar, Thalaivasal Vijay, Keerthi Amar | Director: Praveen Bennett
This Tamil workplace comedy series is set in the glossy corridors of the RR Resort, where Vetri — a housekeeping staffer with zero formal training but limitless ambition — dreams of making it into the elite kitchen. Watching an underdog navigate snobbish hierarchies, demanding guests, and five-star politics is exactly the kind of comfort watch you need on a slow Thursday evening.
5. Pookie — ZEE5 | March 13
Cast: Ajay Dhishan, RK Dhanusha, Pandiarajan, Sunil | Director: Ganesh Chandra | Runtime: 2 hr 12 min
Kailash and Aazhi have been together for six years. One heated fight. Three words — let’s break up — and suddenly everything they built is on the line. This Tamil romantic drama unravels how a single night’s argument can completely rewire a relationship, and asks whether the people we love can survive the worst versions of ourselves.
6. Landlord — ZEE5 | March 13
Cast: Duniya Vijay, Rachita Ram, Raj B. Shetty, Achyuth Kumar | Director: Jadesh K Hampi | Runtime: 2 hr 36 min
Set in 1980s rural Karnataka, this Kannada action drama puts a tyrannical landlord at the centre of everything that’s wrong in a village — land, power, fear. When a common man decides he’s had enough and a new police constable arrives in town, the community discovers it has more strength than it thought. A slow-burn, old-school story of dignity and justice.
7. Funky — Netflix | March 13
Cast: Vishwak Sen, Kayadu Lohar, Naresh, VTV Ganesh | Director: KV Anudeep | Runtime: 2 hr 8 min
A self-aware, meta Telugu comedy about an aspiring filmmaker named Komal who sets out to direct his debut film — also called Funky. When the budget spirals out of control and the producer collapses under stress, Komal gets booted and Chitra steps in to take over. Romance blooms amid budget cuts and professional chaos. It’s the rare Tollywood comedy that winks at the industry it comes from, with fun cameos from Dil Raju, Harish Shankar, and Naga Vamsi himself.
8. Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi — ZEE5 | March 13
Cast: Ravi Teja, Ashika Ranganath, Dimple Hayathi, Sunil, Vennela Kishore | Director: Kishore Tirumala | Runtime: 2 hr 12 min
Ravi Teja plays Ram Satyanarayana, an Indian vineyard owner who travels to Spain on business and gets swept up in an unexpected romance with Manasa Shetty, a Spanish company owner who falls for him. There’s just one catch — Ram is already married back home. What follows is a high-energy, thoroughly entertaining Telugu romcom about how long one man can keep two worlds from colliding. Packed with Ravi Teja’s signature comedy timing and the South Indian cinema tradition of crowd-pleasing romantic chaos, this is one to watch with the family.
