The third week of January 2026 shapes up to be one of the most stacked stretches of the year on OTT, bringing together war epics, unapologetic adult comedies, prestige television, globe-spanning documentaries,
and high-stakes thrillers. From stories rooted in real-life heroism and sacrifice to glossy period mysteries, corporate power games, espionage dramas, and emotionally tangled romances, the week balances scale with substance. With Prime Video, Netflix, JioHotstar, Apple TV, and ZEE5 all rolling out marquee titles, this is a lineup that caters equally to adrenaline junkies, history buffs, comedy loyalists, and slow-burn drama enthusiasts.
120 Bahadur – January 16 (Prime Video)
A deeply moving war epic, 120 Bahadur chronicles the extraordinary final stand of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati and the 120 soldiers of Charlie Company, 13 Kumaon Regiment, during the Battle of Rezang La in the 1962 Sino-Indian War. Set against the unforgiving high-altitude terrain of Ladakh, the film captures how an outnumbered unit, surrounded by thousands of enemy troops and deprived of artillery support, refused to abandon its post in the strategically vital Chushul sector.
Farhan Akhtar portrays Major Shaitan Singh as a calm yet indomitable leader who places duty above survival, even as ammunition dwindles and temperatures plunge to lethal extremes. The film focuses not only on battlefield heroics but also on brotherhood, morale, and the unspoken understanding among soldiers who know they are fighting a battle they may not return from. It culminates in a tribute to sacrifice that earned Major Shaitan Singh the Param Vir Chakra and secured the regiment’s place in Indian military history.
Mastiii 4 – January 16 (ZEE5)
The unapologetically raunchy Mastiii franchise returns with its fourth installment, reuniting Amar, Meet, and Prem—still married, still bored, and still catastrophically bad at self-control. Now settled in the UK, the trio find themselves inspired by a flamboyant couple who claim to have cracked the secret to marital happiness through something called a “Love Visa,” a weekly sanctioned pass for extramarital freedom.
What begins as harmless curiosity spirals into chaos when the men convince their wives to adopt the same arrangement. Packed with crude humour, double entendres, mistaken identities, criminal entanglements, and a sharp “reverse masti” twist, the film flips its own formula by placing the husbands on the defensive. As jealousy, insecurity, and fear take over, the men are forced to confront the very freedom they once craved, turning the film into a chaotic farce about ego, entitlement, and emotional hypocrisy.
Industry Season 4 – January 12 (JioHotstar)
One year after the collapse of Pierpoint & Co., Industry returns with its most psychologically brutal season yet.

Meanwhile, Yasmin Kara-Hanani struggles with life inside aristocracy after marrying into old money, even as predatory fintech firms and financial journalists circle the ruins of traditional banking. Set across London, New York, and emerging global markets, Season 4 strips ambition down to its ugliest core, examining how wealth corrodes loyalty, identity, and morality when money itself becomes weaponised.

Downstairs, beloved figures prepare for retirement, while upstairs, long-buried tensions resurface with the arrival of charming yet untrustworthy outsiders. The film gracefully closes the story of Downton as an institution, offering a poignant farewell to an era, a household, and a way of life—while passing the mantle to a new generation shaped by modernity rather than tradition.

Can This Love Be Translated? – January 16 (Netflix)
This romantic comedy explores what happens when emotional fluency matters more than linguistic skill.
