‘The Asset’ (Netflix – October 27): Where Mission Meets Emotion
Streaming on Netflix from October 27, ‘The Asset’ is an intense thriller series that blends mystery, suspense, and deep human emotions. The story revolves around a young female agent sent on a dangerous mission — to get close to a notorious drug lord’s wife in order to uncover the secrets of the underworld.
But when the line between duty and emotion begins to blur, an inner conflict takes over. The screenplay is gripping, packed with high-tension sequences that keep viewers hooked throughout. With its strong female protagonist and tightly written narrative, the series has already become a buzzworthy title on OTT charts.
‘IT: Welcome To Derry’ (JioHotstar – October 27): A Journey to the Roots of Fear
For horror lovers, this week is no less than a treat. ‘IT: Welcome To Derry’, premiering on JioHotstar on October 27, serves as a prequel to the famous “IT” franchise. It takes viewers back to the origin of terror in the cursed town of Derry.
Set in the 1960s, the series explores how the infamous Pennywise was born and how the town of Derry fell into his horrifying grip. With a dark cinematic tone, engaging backstory, and well-developed characters, this series goes far beyond traditional horror. It doesn’t just show fear — it exposes the very psychology behind it. For fans of psychological horror, this one is a must-watch.
‘Rulers Of Fortune’ (Netflix – October 29): Power, Crime, and Betrayal in the Underworld
If crime, suspense, and power games excite you, ‘Rulers Of Fortune’ is your ideal weekend pick. Streaming on Netflix from October 29, the series is set in the criminal underworld of Rio de Janeiro.
It follows a young man who, tired of poverty and struggle, enters the illegal gambling scene. Soon, he realises that this world runs not only on money but also on manipulation, deceit, and raw power. Every episode unfolds a new twist — trust is broken, loyalties shift, and the hunger for power takes centre stage.
Promoted by Netflix as a “high-octane crime drama,” the series has already created buzz with its trailer. Impressive camera work and a compelling background score make it a visual treat of international standards.
‘Idli Kadai’ (Netflix – October 29): A Heartwarming Tale of Family, Emotion, and Taste
Amidst the thrillers and horrors, if you’re looking for something soulful, the Tamil family drama ‘Idli Kadai’ on Netflix from October 29 is a perfect choice.
Starring South Indian superstar Dhanush, the film tells the story of a son who returns home after achieving success abroad to revive his father’s old idli shop. The narrative beautifully captures themes of family bonds, sacrifice, and reconnecting with one’s roots.
With stellar performances by Dhanush, Arun Vijay, and Nithya Menen, supported by heartfelt music and stunning visuals, the film promises an emotional cinematic experience.
