Movie lovers have plenty to look forward to this week, with a mix of theatrical releases and OTT titles offering something for almost every kind of viewer. Whether you enjoy high-intensity crime stories, light-hearted comedy, emotional romance or action-packed entertainment, the current lineup has several options worth adding to your weekend watchlist.
With multiple titles competing for attention at the same time, deciding what to watch first can be difficult. To make the choice easier, here are five movies and releases that stand out for different reasons. From the return of a popular Bollywood pairing to a crime drama and a much-awaited title from the Mirzapur universe, the list covers a wide range of genres.
1. Haivan – Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan Return Together
Fans looking for a big-screen combination may want to keep Haivan on their radar. The movie features Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan, bringing the two established Bollywood actors together on screen after a long gap.
Their pairing is particularly notable because they have not appeared together in a major film for nearly 18 years. That reunion alone could make the project interesting for audiences who remember their earlier collaborations.
The film is expected to appeal to viewers who enjoy mainstream Hindi cinema and star-driven stories. With two well-known actors leading the cast, Haivan could be one of the titles attracting considerable attention from moviegoers this week.
2. Dhamaal 4 – A Comedy Pick on Netflix
For viewers who would rather spend the weekend watching something light and entertaining, Dhamaal 4 offers a comedy-focused option.
After its theatrical run, the film is now available to audiences on Netflix, making it easier for viewers to enjoy it from home. The franchise is known for its comic situations, chaotic characters and fast-moving entertainment, making the latest installment a potential choice for families and comedy fans.
According to the figures mentioned in the source material, Dhamaal 4 earned approximately ₹167.88 crore net in India, while its worldwide collection was reported at around ₹230.17 crore.
Its arrival on Netflix also gives audiences who missed the theatrical release an opportunity to catch up with the film from home.
3. Ghamasaan – Crime Drama Streaming on ZEE5
Those who prefer darker and more intense storytelling can consider Ghamasaan, a crime drama directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia.
The film is available for streaming on ZEE5 and features Arshad Warsi in the role of Maharaj, a ruthless dacoit leader. The character provides Warsi with an opportunity to explore a more serious and intimidating side of his acting compared with some of his better-known comic performances.
The combination of crime, drama and a powerful central character makes Ghamasaan an option for viewers searching for something more intense than a conventional comedy or romantic film.
For audiences who enjoy stories involving crime, power struggles and morally complicated characters, this title could make for an interesting weekend watch.
4. Viswanath & Sons – A Romantic and Emotional Story on Netflix
Romance and emotional drama fans have another option with Viswanath & Sons, which features Suriya and Mamitha Baiju.
The story revolves around a successful 40-year-old businessman who also has an unusual sporting achievement: he is an Olympic pistol shooter. His life takes an unexpected turn after he becomes a father through a surrogate mother.
The premise combines relationships, family emotions and personal circumstances, giving the film a different flavour from the crime and comedy titles on this week's list.
Viewers who enjoy character-driven stories and emotional relationship dramas may find Viswanath & Sons worth adding to their Netflix watchlist.
5. Mirzapur: The Movie – A Big-Screen Crime Story
Fans of the popular Mirzapur franchise have another reason to head to the cinema with Mirzapur: The Movie.
The film expands the world associated with the hit crime-drama franchise and has generated interest among viewers familiar with its characters and storyline. Its theatrical release makes it particularly appealing to fans who want to experience the Mirzapur universe on the big screen.
According to Koimoi figures cited in the original report, the movie was made on an estimated budget of around ₹90 crore and went on to cross ₹150 crore in earnings.
For followers of the franchise, the movie offers an opportunity to revisit its crime-driven world in a theatrical format.
Which Movie Should You Watch This Week?
The answer largely depends on the kind of entertainment you prefer. Haivan could appeal to viewers interested in a major Bollywood pairing, while Dhamaal 4 is suited to those looking for comedy and easy-going entertainment.
If crime stories are your preference, Ghamasaan and Mirzapur: The Movie offer darker alternatives. Meanwhile, Viswanath & Sons may be a better fit for viewers who enjoy romance, family emotions and character-focused storytelling.
With options available across theatres and OTT platforms, movie fans have plenty to choose from this week. Whether you are planning a cinema outing or a relaxed movie marathon at home, these five titles offer a varied mix of genres for the weekend.
Note: OTT availability, release schedules and box-office figures can change. Viewers should check the respective platform or official movie sources for the latest information.
