Here’s everything releasing this week — reshuffled, detailed, and ready for your watchlist.
Superman – December 11 (JioHotstar)
The critically acclaimed new chapter in the DC universe finally arrives on streaming. David Corenswet debuts as Clark Kent in a film that reimagines Superman at a moment when idealism collides violently with geopolitics. After intervening in an international crisis engineered by tech mogul Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult), Superman finds himself at the centre of a global backlash. Instead of gratitude, he is met with suspicion, political manoeuvring and moral interrogation from the world he’s trying to save. Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane grounds the story with a fierce, investigative energy as she uncovers the machinery of manipulation surrounding the conflict. The film pivots away from spectacle toward a more intimate, morally complex portrait of a hero in the crossfire — a man grappling with the weight of his impact, the fragility of trust, and the question of what it really means to protect humanity in a world terrified of power.
Single Papa – December 12 (Netflix)
Kunal Kemmu leads this warm, chaotic comedy-drama about Gaurav Gehlot — an irresponsible young man whose life is a cocktail of immaturity, half-baked ambitions and emotional avoidance. His world turns upside down when he shocks his family by adopting a baby, a decision that springs not from preparation but impulse. Manoj Pahwa, Neha Dhupia and Prajakta Koli round out a cast that meets Gaurav’s “single papa” decision with a mix of exasperation, disbelief and reluctant affection. As Gaurav stumbles his way through diapers, deadlines and his own insecurities, the series follows the messy, funny, heart-tugging process of an adult growing into parenthood. With each crisis — from comic overstretching to genuine emotional reckoning — he inches closer to the man he might finally become. It’s a story about responsibility arriving before maturity, and how sometimes love forces you to grow whether you’re ready or not.
Saali Mohabbat – December 12 (ZEE5)
Radhika Apte, Divyendu Sharma and Anurag Kashyap headline this tense thriller that marks Tisca Chopra’s feature directorial debut. The film centres on Smita, a small-town housewife whose life unravels after she becomes entangled in a psychological labyrinth involving betrayal, moral ambiguity and the terrifying realisation that those closest to her may not be what they seem. When an unexpected relationship incident spirals beyond her control, Smita is pulled into a tightening circle of manipulation and gaslighting that forces her to confront her own buried instincts. As alliances shift and truths splinter, Saali Mohabbat becomes a study of trust — how it forms, how it fractures, and how quickly love can mutate into something far more dangerous.
Real Kashmir Football Club – December 9 (SonyLIV)
Based on the true story of how Jammu & Kashmir’s first professional football club was formed, this series follows two men — a Kashmiri Hindu Pandit and a Kashmiri Muslim — who refuse to let political fault lines dictate the future of sport or community. Starring Manav Kaul, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Mark Bennington and Abhishant Rana, the show traces how Real Kashmir Football Club emerged from turmoil, trauma and shared resilience. More than a sports drama, it is a meditation on hope in conflict zones, communal harmony through teamwork, and the healing power of ambition when humanity becomes the common goal.
Percy Jackson And The Olympians: Season 2 – December 10 (JioHotstar)
The hit adaptation of Rick Riordan’s beloved books returns with The Sea of Monsters arc. Percy, Annabeth and Grover head into treacherous waters as Camp Half-Blood faces collapse unless the Golden Fleece can be recovered. With monsters, prophecies and shifting loyalties nipping at their heels, Season 2 promises richer world-building, sharper humour and a deepening sense of destiny as Percy steps further into his role as a hero caught between two worlds.
The Great Shamshudin Family – December 11 (JioHotstar)
Farida Jalal and Sheeba Chaddha anchor this quirky comedy-drama directed by Anusha Rizvi — her first film since the National Award-winning Peepli Live. The story unfolds over 12 frantic hours as Bani Ahmed (Kritika Kamra) races to file a critical application that could determine her future. What should be a simple task turns into a whirlwind involving eccentric relatives, escalating mishaps and the Shamshudin clan’s talent for turning crises into chaos. It’s a warm, witty celebration of dysfunctional families who fight, interfere, meddle, but ultimately rally around one another when it matters.
Taylor Swift: The End Of An Era – December 11 (JioHotstar)
This six-part docuseries opens the backstage doors to Taylor Swift’s global dominion — the tours, the reinventions, and the cultural hurricane she has become. With intimate footage, creative insights, and candid reflections on public scrutiny, artistic evolution and personal mythology, the series paints a sweeping portrait of a pop icon who has lived half her life in the world’s glare. It’s a chronicle of a performer learning, burning, rising and rewriting the rules of what modern stardom looks like.
Man Vs Baby – December 11 (Netflix)
Rowan Atkinson returns as Trevor Bingley, but this time the high-stakes chaos of Man vs Bee gives way to the awkward emotional minefields of caretaking a school. After taking up a quieter job as a school caretaker, Trevor discovers that peace is overrated — and children, teachers and malfunctioning facilities are often far more explosive than a bee could ever be. This British comedy leans into Atkinson’s gift for deadpan physical humour while giving Trevor a more grounded emotional core.
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery – December 12 (Netflix)
Daniel Craig reprises his role as master detective Benoit Blanc in the third film of Rian Johnson’s hit murder-mystery franchise. This standalone story follows Blanc into a new web of deception, eccentric suspects and carefully constructed lies. With razor-sharp writing, flamboyant personalities and a mystery that rearranges itself every few minutes, the film keeps the spirit of Knives Out alive — clever, theatrical, delightfully twisty.
Tell Me Softly – December 12 (Amazon Prime Video)
The first book of Mercedes Ron’s bestselling Tell Me trilogy becomes a Spanish romantic drama steeped in longing, miscommunication and emotional risk. Celia Freijeiro, Patricia Vico and Andrés Velencoso headline a story that unfolds around buried desires, fractured relationships and the complicated push-pull between what the heart wants and what the past allows. Director Denis Rovira and writer Jaime Vaca (of Élite) bring a moody, atmospheric touch to the material.
Simon Cowell: The Next Act – December 10 (Netflix)
This documentary traces Simon Cowell’s evolution from a hustling talent scout to one of the most influential figures in global entertainment. Through archival material, insider interviews and career-defining moments, the film dissects how Cowell engineered a new era of reality TV, built empires from auditions, and cultivated a reputation equal parts ruthless and visionary.
F1 – December 12 (Apple TV)
Brad Pitt stars as veteran racer Sonny Hayes, who returns to Formula 1 to mentor a volatile rookie and revive a failing team. Shot using actual race cars on real race weekends, the film promises unparalleled track immersion. Beneath the adrenaline lies a story about ageing, mentorship, ambition and the cost of refusing to let go of the thing you love most.
Merv – December 10 (Prime Video)
Zooey Deschanel and Charlie Cox star as exes forced back into each other’s orbit because — unfortunately for both — their shared dog, Merv, has slipped into depression after the breakup. A Florida dog beach holiday becomes a last-ditch effort to lift his spirits, forcing Anna and Russ to confront unresolved wounds, old chemistry, and a love story that didn’t fully end.
Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft, Season 2 – December 11 (Netflix)
Hayley Atwell returns to voice Lara Croft in the second and final season of this sharp, action-packed animated series. This time, Lara chases a string of stolen African Orisha masks whose supernatural powers threaten to rupture the boundary between the mortal and spiritual realms. With mercenaries, ancient deities and a billionaire adversary in pursuit, the season tests Lara’s courage, her loyalty to her team, and her evolving understanding of what kind of legend she is destined to become.
