OTT releases July first week: ‘Pritam and Pedro’, ‘Silo Season 3’ to ‘Mollywood Times’ and more

As Friday arrives, people start relaxing their muscles for the weekend. Some choose to entertain themselves by going out, watching movies in cinemas, or having a good dinner outside.

But some still prefer their comfort zone and opt to spend time at home with good entertainment, and for them, OTT platforms are here.

From gripping sci-fi series, a laugh-out-loud comedy, an emotional family drama to a spooky horror tale, Netflix, JioHotstar, Prime Video and ZEE5 have multiple choices for everyone.

Pritam and Pedro

Release Date: July 3

Streaming Platform: JioHotstar

This one’s got buzz because it’s director Rajkumar Hirani’s first-ever web series. It’s a fun cop-and-hacker story set in Goa, an old-school police officer and a young hacker who couldn’t be more different end up teamed up to catch a dangerous cybercriminal who’s kidnapped a chief minister’s son. Expect a mix of humour, action, and clever twists as this mismatched duo figures out how to work together.

Silo Season 3

Release Date: July 3

Streaming Platform: Apple TV+

The sci-fi hit is back, and things pick up right where they left off — Juliette wakes up back in the silo with huge chunks of memory missing, only to find the community on the edge of revolt. Alongside her story, the show also jumps back in time to show how a journalist and a politician stumbled onto the conspiracy that led to the silos being built in the first place. It’s dense, mysterious, and exactly the kind of slow-burn world-building fans have loved from the start.

Mollywood Times

Release Date: July 3

Streaming Platform: JioHotstar

A dark comedy that pokes fun at the film industry from the inside. It follows a young filmmaker who’s obsessed with becoming Malayalam cinema’s next big horror director — but the more he chases fame, the more he gets tangled up in industry politics and his own ego. It’s equal parts funny and uncomfortable, with a real point to make about ambition.

Super Subbu

Release Date: July 2

Streaming Platform: Netflix

A goofy, heartfelt Telugu comedy about a guy named Subbu who gets handed the awkward job of teaching sex education in a small, conservative village. As you’d expect, chaos follows — misunderstandings, embarrassing moments, and family drama pile up as he tries to just do his job without causing a scandal.

Asakapatnam

Release Date: July 2

Streaming Platform: Prime Video

A gritty crime drama set in a 1990s port town, centered on Naidu — the most feared man around, whose criminal empire is under threat from every direction. Rivals, people out for justice, and folks with personal vendettas all start closing in on him at once, making for a tense mix of crime, politics, and family fallout.

karakkam

Release Date: July 3

Streaming Platform: SonyLIV

Billed as Malayalam cinema’s first musical horror comedy, which is a genre combo you don’t see every day. Two friends play a harmless New Year’s prank that accidentally lets loose a bunch of mischievous spirits, and what starts as a joke quickly spirals into weird, funny, and slightly terrifying chaos as they scramble to undo what they’ve done.

Elle

Release Date: July 1

Streaming Platform: Amazon Prime Video

A prequel to Legally Blonde that takes us back to Elle Woods’ teenage years in 1990s Seattle, long before Harvard Law. It’s a coming-of-age story about friendships, first love, and figuring out who you are — basically showing us how the confident, iconic Elle we all know actually got built.
