What to Watch This Weekend — April 24-26, 2026

This weekend's OTT lineup across Netflix, JioHotstar, ZEE5, Prime Video, and SonyLIV is packed with something for every mood — from Anil Kapoor's return as Jai Singh Rathod in 24 Season 3 on JioHotstar to Anubhav Sinha's gripping courtroom drama Assi on ZEE5, and Rajkummar Rao's chaotic dark comedy Toaster on Netflix. Whether you're planning a binge-watch marathon or a quiet film night, we've picked the must-watch titles releasing this weekend and the best ways to save on your OTT subscriptions via magicpin.

 

 

24 Season 3

Platform: JioHotstar  |  Released: April 24, 2026  |  Genre: Action Thriller  |  Cast: Anil Kapoor, Mandira Bedi

 

 

Anil Kapoor is back as the relentless Jai Singh Rathod, and Season 3 of 24 raises the stakes considerably. The real-time thriller format returns with a tighter, more personal mission — one that forces Rathod to confront threats from his past while the clock ticks down. If you've followed the series from the beginning, this season delivers the payoff the narrative has been building toward. For newcomers, the show's signature split-screen urgency and Kapoor's charged performance make it easy to get hooked from episode one. Dropping all episodes on JioHotstar today, this is the weekend's headline binge.

 

Assi

Platform: ZEE5  |  Released: April 17, 2026  |  Genre: Courtroom Drama  |  Cast: Taapsee Pannu, Anubhav Sinha (dir.)

 

 

Taapsee Pannu takes on the system in Anubhav Sinha's powerful new courtroom drama Assi — and it is exactly the kind of socially charged storytelling Sinha excels at. The film follows a survivor fighting for justice while navigating a deeply flawed legal system that seems designed to grind individuals down. Pannu, coming off her National Award-winning turn in 2023, delivers a performance that is both fierce and fragile. If you liked Article 15 or Mulk, this one demands your attention. Now streaming on ZEE5.

 

Toaster

Platform: Netflix  |  Released: April 15, 2026  |  Genre: Dark Comedy  |  Cast: Rajkummar Rao, Sanya Malhotra

 

 

Rajkummar Rao and Sanya Malhotra reunite for this delightfully unpredictable dark comedy from director Vivek Das Chaudhary. The premise is brilliantly simple: a man becomes obsessively determined to reclaim a wedding gift, and what follows is a spiralling chain of chaos that touches everyone around him. Rao is in his element here — awkward, intense, and deeply funny in the way only he can pull off. At just over 90 minutes, it is the perfect Friday night pick when you want something light but not shallow. Streaming on Netflix.

 

Do Deewane Seher Mein

Platform: Netflix  |  Released: April 17, 2026  |  Genre: Romantic Drama  |  Cast: Siddhant Chaturvedi, Mrunal Thakur

 

 

Siddhant Chaturvedi and Mrunal Thakur bring a refreshingly honest take on modern urban relationships in this Netflix original. Set against the backdrop of a bustling city, the film explores how two people navigate their insecurities, emotional baggage, and the slow process of healing together. What sets Do Deewane Seher Mein apart is its restraint — the storytelling trusts its silences as much as its dialogue, making the moments that land feel earned rather than manufactured. A great Sunday watch for anyone who values character-driven storytelling.

 

O'Romeo

Platform: Prime Video  |  Released: April 10, 2026  |  Genre: Romantic Action Thriller  |  Cast: Shahid Kapoor, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj

 

 

Vishal Bhardwaj and Shahid Kapoor reunite in this underworld romance that blends the director's signature Shakespearean sensibility with raw, visceral action. Kapoor plays a hitman pulled into a dangerous mission where love and loyalty collide — and Bhardwaj's visual storytelling makes every frame count. The music, as expected from a Bhardwaj film, is already generating buzz. If you missed it in the past two weeks, this weekend is the time to catch up. Streaming on Prime Video.
