OTT Releases This Week: From Agadha to Don’t Be Shy, 8 New Movies and Shows to Add to Your Watchlist

The final week of September is bringing a busy mix of movies and web series to India's major streaming platforms. Instead of offering just another OTT release list, this week's lineup stands out because it covers very different viewing moods—from supernatural thrillers and crime mysteries to romance, courtroom drama and reality entertainment.

Among the titles attracting attention are Agadha, Don’t Be Shy, Shaque: Trust No One, Hunkkaar: The Roar, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups and Rise and Fall Season 2.

If you are deciding what to watch this weekend, here is a quick guide based on genre and viewing mood.

Agadha – For Telugu Horror and Mystery Fans

OTT platform: ZEE5
Release date: September 25, 2026

Telugu supernatural thriller Agadha is one of the notable regional releases arriving this week. Directed by MS Raju and featuring Kamakshi Bhaskarla, the movie combines mystery, spirituality and supernatural elements.

The story revolves around Mahadevi, a spiritually gifted woman who is forced to confront a dangerous supernatural force connected to a forbidden cave. The OTT release gives the film an opportunity to reach viewers who may have missed its theatrical run.

The movie originally released in theatres on August 14 before moving toward its digital premiere.

Why it may interest viewers: If Telugu supernatural stories and mystery-driven plots are your preference, Agadha could be one of the regional titles to watch this week.

Don’t Be Shy – A College Story With a Coming-of-Age Twist

OTT platform: Amazon Prime Video
Release date: September 25, 2026

Don’t Be Shy takes viewers into the world of college relationships, identity and youthful ambitions.

The film follows Shyamili Das, a 20-year-old college student who has built her personality around being the campus "mean girl." However, the carefully constructed image she has created begins to change when new relationships and situations challenge her assumptions about herself.

The movie is backed by Alia Bhatt and Shaheen Bhatt and stars Aarushi Bajaj.

Why it may interest viewers: Those looking for a lighter college-oriented drama with romance and coming-of-age themes may want to add this to their weekend list.

Shaque: Trust No One – A Mystery Built Around a Missing Child

OTT platform: Netflix
Release date: September 24, 2026

For viewers who prefer suspense, Shaque: Trust No One brings a much darker premise.

The story follows a mother who has spent years searching for her missing child. As she follows new clues, people around her increasingly become difficult to trust.

Parineeti Chopra leads the thriller, which combines family emotion with mystery and psychological tension.

Why it may interest viewers: This is aimed more at audiences who enjoy investigative stories where the mystery unfolds gradually.

Hunkkaar: The Roar – A Courtroom Drama With a Social Conflict

OTT platform: JioHotstar
Release date: September 25, 2026

Hunkkaar: The Roar brings courtroom drama into the week's OTT lineup.

The story centres on a teenage girl who makes allegations against a powerful spiritual leader. What begins as a legal battle develops into a much larger conflict involving influence, public attention and the justice system.

Aneet Padda and Raghubir Yadav are among the prominent cast members.

Why it may interest viewers: The title could appeal to audiences who prefer serious courtroom and social dramas rather than conventional commercial entertainment.

Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups – Yash's Gangster Drama Moves to OTT

OTT platform: ZEE5
Release date: September 25, 2026

Yash's Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is another major movie entering the streaming space this week.

Directed by Geetu Mohandas, the action crime drama is set against a post-independence Goa backdrop and explores a world involving crime, loyalty, violence and redemption.

The film is scheduled for streaming on ZEE5 on September 25, making it one of the week's major OTT arrivals for South Indian cinema audiences.

Why it may interest viewers: Yash fans and audiences looking for a large-scale crime-action film are likely to have this high on their streaming watchlist.

The Love Hypothesis – Romance Comes to Prime Video

OTT platform: Amazon Prime Video
Release date: September 23, 2026

For viewers who want something lighter, The Love Hypothesis offers a romantic-comedy option.

The story follows doctoral student Olive Smith, who enters a fake relationship with intimidating professor Adam Carlsen. What begins as an arrangement gradually becomes complicated when genuine emotions enter the picture.

The movie is based on Ali Hazelwood's popular novel and stars Lili Reinhart and Tom Bateman.

Why it may interest viewers: Romance fans looking for a lighter movie between thrillers and serious dramas have an obvious option here.

Rise and Fall Season 2 – Reality Entertainment Returns

OTT platforms: Amazon Prime Video and MX Player
Release date: September 26, 2026

Reality-show fans also have something new to watch this week with Rise and Fall Season 2.

Hosted by Virender Sehwag, the reality competition features contestants dealing with changing positions of power, alliances and strategic decisions.

Why it may interest viewers: If reality competitions, contestant strategies and shifting alliances are your preferred form of weekend entertainment, this could be one of the week's options.

Unabomber – A Dark True-Crime Story

OTT platform: Netflix
Release date: September 25, 2026

Netflix is also bringing Unabomber, a biographical thriller based on the life of Ted Kaczynski and the investigation that eventually led to his identification and capture.

The series explores his early life and the FBI investigation surrounding the Unabomber case.

Because the subject involves real-world violence and terrorism, it is a substantially darker watch than the romantic and reality titles arriving during the same week.
