Am I the only one who feels like this week has been one of those long, never-ending kind of weeks? Ah, well! The weekend finally starts tomorrow, and we could all do with some help on how to have a good one. While I can’t really recommend that you go out and chill at pubs, what I can do is tell you about some OTT content that will keep you hooked throughout the weekend. There’s been some pretty good content that has released on OTT platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hotstar, Zee5, and others. And there’s a lot of older content too that you definitely shouldn’t miss out on. Here’s what to watch online this weekend.
