Let's face it, Covid-19 is here to stay and so is the 'new normal'.
'OTT fatigue' is a very real thing, but many of us have to wait for the weekend to catch up on our favourite shows.
Be it big budget, superhero films or small indie films, everything is now online.
This week, the list of binge worthy films and shows is a heavy-hitter. Here's a quick round up of what you must catch up on, over the weekend.
Black Widow | September 3 | Disney+Hotstar
Marvel's 'Black Widow' is the origin story of Natasha Romanoff, and the film is a big ticket blockbuster and has already made a lot of buzz with its international release.
The film takes us through Natasha’s dark past and how she reconciles with it all, as a Russian spy.
In the Marvel timeline, events in the film take place between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War.
'Black Widow' has also been in the headlines, due to an ongoing legal battle between Scarlett Johanssen and Disney over the Hollywood star's remuneration from the film's theatrical and OTT distribution.
Money Heist | September 3 | Netflix
'Money Heist Season 5' is undoubtedly the most-anticipated show to release this week, and the excitement among loyal fans is palpable.
Season 5 will pick up directly after the events of previous episodes, with the gang shut inside the Bank of Spain for over 100 hours. With the military closing in, it's going to get really tough for the heist team.
Violence goes side by side when it comes to bank heists, and in this season too, expect some edge-of-the-seat action-packed scenes.
The next 10 episodes of the Spanish drama, officially titled 'La Casa De Papel', releases in two volumes, first on September 3 and the rest in December.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings | Disney+Hotstar | Sept 3
'Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' is Marvel's big tick on the diversity spectrum, with its first-ever Asian Superhero.
We love how an ordinary man called 'Shaun' suddenly realises, that he really is Shang-chi, with a legacy to preserve or destroy.
While Simu Liu may be Shang-chi the superhero, you’ll love with his super villain dad Tony Leung, arguably among the best actors to come out of Hong Kong cinema.
Take Tony Leung's anger, add to that some spectacular CGI, and it's an experience worth the big screen, something we have been missing for the last two years.
Cinderella | September 3 | Amazon Prime Video
Who doesn't love fairy tales, right? But it's 2021, and the notion of a woman finding her happily ever after, after meeting a prince is so passe!
Cindrella starring Camila Cabello is a modern take on the centuries-old classic. The singer has already proved her acting mettle with many of her videos, and she makes her sparkling Hollywood debut with this film.
Brownie points for casting Billy Porter as the fairy godmother aka Fab G. The 'Pose' star looks flat out sassy in the orange gown.
The film is a musical, and going by the trailer, Camella's solo tune 'Million to One' could even become a new Gen Z anthem.
Helmet | September 3 | Zee5
If you thought 'Helmet' in the film's title, refers to what you should be wearing on your head when you ride a bike.....think again!
In the film, "Helmet" is the local slang that is often used for condoms in our country.
Three men dealing with some financial trouble, decide to rob a passing truck. Things take a hilarious turn when they find out that the truck was actually carrying condoms.
Their entrepreneurial spirit leads them to start a business where they sell condoms to those who are shy of buying them from local chemists.
'Helmet' has been produced by Dino Morea and features Aparshakti Khurana, Pranutan Bahl, Abhishek Banerjee in key roles.
