While there’s only one original release in India this week in the form of the Alia Bhatt-produced Poacher – based on the illegal poaching of ivory in India – we’ve got quite a few other big names across genres. For starters, Netflix will host the Screen Actors Guild Awards live for the first time, billed as a grand experiment for the streaming platform. The awards will start broadcasting at 5:00 AM (IST).

Another big-budget release is Avatar: The Last Airbender, a live-action adaptation of the popular Netflix series of the same name. However, if you followed the original series back in the day, chances are you won’t be as impressed with the adaptation. The series attracted mixed reviews from critics and ardent fans.

Then we have the final season of Star Wars: The Bad Batch on Disney+ Hotstar, testing the limits of the eponymous Bad Batch.

On the international shore, there’s Through My Window 3: Looking At You, the final chapter in the Spanish romance trilogy. It follows the typical romantic dilemmas and the inability to move on after a breakup. If you haven’t yet enjoyed the first two parts, you can find them both on Netflix.

If you have an appetite for documentaries, you could pick up the new British crime documentary series Can I Tell You A Secret? which provides a chilling insight into a serial cyber stalker who has made the lives of countless women a living hell. Another choice could be an Apple TV documentary about soccer legend Messi, following him through five World Cups.

For comedy fanatics, Netflix has offered another comedy special: Mike Epps’ Ready to Sell Out. Here, the American stand-up comedian gets candid about his finances, romantic life and funny street observations.

In case you’re wondering about the Netflix documentary on the Sheena Bora murder case, which was supposed to be released on February 23, its release was halted after the CBI approached the Bombay High Court. The series will probably only premiere after it gets the green light after a special screening of the series for the Central Bureau of Investigation (are there a lot of cuts and edits to come?).

Well, that’s it for this week, folks. Happy binge eating!
