All 6 OTT Films at a Glance

1. Dacoit: A Love Story (Telugu) — Amazon Prime Video

Directed by Shaneil Deo and starring Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur in career-best form, Dacoit: A Love Story is the kind of film that hits you in the gut before it hits you in the heart. The story follows Haridas, a convict who escapes prison with one burning mission — revenge against Saraswati, the woman he believes destroyed his life. But when their paths cross again, buried emotions, past trauma, and high-stakes robberies collide in ways neither of them anticipated. With Anurag Kashyap and Prakash Raj in supporting roles, this 2-hour-32-minute Telugu actioner is must-watch material this weekend. Streaming from May 8.

2. Oh Butterfly (Tamil) — SunNXT

If you enjoy tense, slow-burn psychological drama, Oh Butterfly is exactly what your watchlist needs. Directed by Vijay Ranganathan and led by Nivedhithaa Sathish, the film follows Gouri, who takes her husband Arjun to an isolated hill house to reveal a life-changing secret — only for her ex-lover Surya to show up uninvited, unravelling hidden truths and long-buried pasts. At 2 hours 12 minutes, this psychological romantic thriller plays with layers of deception and emotional complexity that keep you guessing right till the end. Streams on SunNXT from May 8.

3. Love Mocktail 3 (Kannada) — ZEE5

For fans of heartfelt, slow storytelling, Love Mocktail 3 continues the beloved franchise in the most emotionally grounded direction yet. Directed by and starring Darling Krishna, alongside Milana Nagaraj, this installment shifts the focus away from romantic love and toward something deeper — the bond between Adi and his adopted daughter Nidhi. It explores how real family is built through choice, care, and presence, not just blood. A warm, feel-good Kannada family drama that’s perfect for a Sunday morning stream. Drops on ZEE5, May 8.

4. Satan: The Dark (Tamil) — Amazon Prime Video

The most intriguing genre pick of the week, Satan: The Dark is a period horror thriller set during the era of the East India Company. Directed by Manikandan Ramalingam, the film begins with a failed witchcraft ritual in the village of Asthinapuram that unleashes a generational curse. Years later, a young man must face this ancient, terrifying darkness to save the woman he loves. At 2 hours 24 minutes, it’s an atmospheric slow burn that blends historical horror with personal stakes in a way Tamil cinema doesn’t explore often enough. Streaming on Prime Video from May 8.

5. Super Hit (Kannada) — SunNXT

Director Vijayanand brings a refreshingly chaotic energy to Kannada cinema with Super Hit, a nonlinear mystery crime comedy starring Bigg Boss Kannada 12 winner Gilli Nata. The story kicks off with an attack on a journalist and spirals into an interconnected web of characters — including a kidnapped Lucky Baskar hidden in a car that an unemployed young man tries to steal, only to stumble into an increasingly bizarre series of events. Think multiple eccentric strangers, unpredictable comedy, and threads that eventually tie together in a satisfying, entertaining climax. Streams on SunNXT, May 8.

6. Love Insurance Kompany — LIK (Tamil) — Amazon Prime Video

Already streaming since May 6, director Vignesh Shivan’s Love Insurance Kompany is the most ambitious film on this list — and arguably the most conversation-worthy. Set in 2040, the film imagines a world where romance is governed by algorithms and apps determine compatibility through data, not feelings. Pradeep Ranganathan plays Vasu, a village boy from a technology-free world who falls for Dheema, even though the algorithm says their love is impossible. When their relationship threatens the entire system, the company decides to intervene. Starring Krithi Shetty and SJ Suryah (who reportedly steals the show), LIK is a rare Tamil sci-fi rom-com that dares to ask whether love can survive in a world run by machines. Streaming now on Amazon Prime Video.
