6 Hindi Films & OTT Releases This Week: Haiwaan to The Revolutionaries, All Landing September 11

This week’s Hindi entertainment slate reads like a genre buffet — a blind father hunting a serial killer, freedom fighters you never learned about in school, a dacoit drama that skipped theatres entirely, and a horror-comedy running a whopping 40 episodes. Nearly everything drops on September 11, so clear your evening and pick your poison.

6 Hindi Films & OTT: This Week’s Release Line-Up

1. Haiwaan — Priyadarshan steps away from comedy for the first time in years with this dark thriller about a blind father racing to save his daughter from a psychopath. Akshay Kumar plays the villain, Saif Ali Khan takes on a visually-impaired role for the first time in his career, and Mohanlal pops in for a guest appearance — a casting combo alone worth the ticket.

2. The Revolutionaries — Directed by Nikkhil Advani and based on Sanjeev Sanyal’s non-fiction book, this Prime Video series shines a light on the young, lesser-known Indian revolutionaries who fought British rule outside the mainstream freedom-struggle narrative. Bhuvan Bam and Rohit Saraf headline an ensemble built for prestige-drama fans.

3. Chumbak — A cozy, situational family comedy following five neighbouring households in a tight urban colony, Netflix’s Chumbak leans on everyday chaos and community quirks rather than big twists — comfort viewing for the whole family.

4. Ghamasaan — Tigmanshu Dhulia’s gritty dacoit drama was originally meant for theatres but now streams directly on ZEE5. Arshad Warsi trades his usual comic timing for a hardened, serious avatar, backed by Pratik Gandhi in a story steeped in rural lawlessness and revenge.

5. Ali Baba Aur 40 Bhoot — This JioHotstar horror-comedy goes big with a 40-episode run, dropping four episodes every Friday. Asha Negi plays a neuropsychology expert whose search for her missing father spirals into supernatural territory — equal parts spooky and silly.

6. Last Man In Tower — Adapted from Aravind Adiga’s acclaimed novel, this theatrical drama stars Manoj Bajpayee as a retired schoolteacher who refuses to sell his apartment to a real estate developer, setting off a slow-burning battle of principle versus profit.
