Returning favorites include 'Mirzapur 3', 'Paatal Lok', and 'Panchayat', promising to deliver compelling narratives and memorable performances. Additionally, audiences can look forward to the second seasons of musical series 'Bandish Bandits' and Tamil crime drama 'Suzhal -- The Vortex'.
Introducing fresh and engaging content, Prime Video will debut titles such as 'Daring Partners', a narrative centered around an alcohol startup featuring Tamannaah Bhatia, Diana Penty, and Jaaved Jaaferi. Also on the horizon is 'Follow Karlo Yaar', an unscripted show by Uorfi Javed, and 'In Transit', a documentary series by Zoya Akhtar, Reema Kagti, and Ayesha Sood exploring the lives of trans and non-binary individuals.
The film lineup is equally impressive, with notable releases including Anil Kapoor's action-packed 'Subedar', Boman Irani's directorial debut 'The Mehta Boys', and the small-town comedy 'Supermen of Malegaon'. Additionally, audiences can anticipate the Usha Mehta biopic 'Ae Watan Mere Watan', featuring Sara Ali Khan, as well as the Abhishek Bachchan-starrer 'Be Happy', and 'Chhorii 2', a superstition-themed film.
