Between February 16 and February 22, streaming platforms roll out a dynamic mix of romance, neo-noir grit, political satire, prestige documentaries and globe-spanning thrillers. This week’s slate moves
fluidly from sun-drenched love stories to pandemic-shadowed underworlds, from culinary empires to Cold War heroism. Whether it’s a love tested by family duty, a hitman haunted by institutional betrayal, or investigative dramas exposing systemic rot, the digital landscape is brimming with layered storytelling across languages and genres.
Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri – February 19 (Prime Video)
Headlining the week is this sweeping romantic drama starring Kartik Aaryan as Rehaan “Ray” Mehra, a flamboyant NRI wedding planner whose life is built around orchestrating fairy-tale endings for others. Opposite him, Ananya Panday plays Rumi Vardhan Singh, an aspiring novelist from Agra who believes in modern love but is deeply tethered to her family’s emotional ecosystem.
Their romance begins aboard a luxurious yacht cruise in Croatia — all golden sunsets, impulsive confessions and dizzying chemistry. But the fantasy fractures when Rumi’s father suffers an accident, leaving her to shoulder caregiving responsibilities just as her sister prepares for marriage. Torn between a Gen-Z idea of self-prioritisation and deeply ingrained filial duty, Rumi walks away from Rehaan, believing love must come second to responsibility.
Fate intervenes when Rehaan lands in India as the wedding planner for Rumi’s own family celebration. What follows is an emotional tug-of-war where he must prove that love isn’t selfish — it can be expansive enough to include aging parents, messy realities, and unresolved grief. The film delicately navigates generational values, long-distance heartbreak and the negotiation between desire and duty.
Kennedy – February 20 (ZEE5)
Anurag Kashyap’s long-awaited neo-noir finally arrives on Indian streaming after a celebrated festival run. Set during the eerie stillness of the pandemic lockdown, Kennedy follows Uday Shetty (Rahul Bhat), a disgraced former police officer officially declared dead — yet very much alive in Mumbai’s criminal underbelly.
Operating as a contract killer under the alias “Kennedy,” he works for a corrupt commissioner, eliminating threats that disturb the city’s fragile balance of power. But beneath the cold efficiency lies a fractured man tormented by insomnia, recurring nightmares and unresolved guilt.
Sunny Leone appears as Charlie, an enigmatic woman whose presence complicates Kennedy’s psychological spiral. As he hunts his nemesis Saleem and begins questioning the very machinery he serves, the film transforms into a bleak meditation on systemic corruption, institutional decay and the illusion of redemption. Stark, brutal and atmospheric, Kennedy is Kashyap at his most restrained and haunting.
56 Days – February 18 (Prime Video)
Based on Catherine Ryan Howard’s bestselling novel, this non-linear thriller opens with a gruesome discovery — a decomposed body in an apartment 56 days after a couple moved in together during lockdown. The narrative oscillates between the present-day investigation and the whirlwind romance of Ciara and Oliver, who bonded over isolation and fear.
As timelines converge, layers of deception peel away. Who was truly hiding something? And did the pandemic provide cover for something far more sinister? The series thrives on claustrophobic tension and the slow dismantling of trust.
Being Gordon Ramsay – February 18 (Netflix)
This six-part documentary pulls back the curtain on Gordon Ramsay’s most ambitious expansion yet — five high-profile culinary ventures launched simultaneously inside London’s towering 22 Bishopsgate. With £20 million invested and reputations at stake, the show captures the chaos of construction delays, staffing crises and perfectionist meltdowns.
But beyond the kitchens and boardrooms, the series offers intimate glimpses into Ramsay’s family life, revealing how his childhood poverty fuels his relentless drive. It’s both a portrait of ambition and a study in vulnerability.

Former contestants share candid reflections, complicating the show’s cultural footprint.
The Night Agent Season 3 – February 19 (Netflix)
Gabriel Basso returns as Peter Sutherland in a globe-trotting political thriller that begins in Istanbul and expands into a multi-city conspiracy. As he tracks a traitorous Treasury official and uncovers a destabilising financial network, Peter operates without familiar allies, forming a tense partnership with a determined journalist. The season deepens the psychological cost of espionage and isolation.
Heated Rivalry – February 20 (Lionsgate Play)
Adapted from Rachel Reid’s novel, this sports drama chronicles the secret decade-long relationship between two rival hockey superstars playing for opposing teams.
