From Shahid Kapoor's Deva to Shah Rukh Khan's The Lion King With Mufasa, the list is lush
If you're a last-minute planner looking to skip the crowds and just chill at home this Eid holiday, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Whether you're in the mood for high-octane action, heartfelt drama, or something fun for the whole family, here’s a curated list of streaming picks to keep you entertained all weekend long.
Deva (Netflix)
Watch Deva for Shahid Kapoor, who brings peak thirst-trap energy to a rogue cop with a god complex. This Rosshan Andrrews directorial thrives on chaos, and Shahid dives headfirst into the madness with skin-tight khakis, body-hugging white shirts, and an attitude that rules are for sidekicks. He’s the kind of officer who shoves a gun into a woman’s mouth and makes vulgar gestures mid-interrogation—and somehow still makes it look stylish.
The plot—inspired from director Roshan's own Malayalam hit Mumbai Police—involves memory loss, murder, and a twisty investigation. But if you haven’t seen the original, Deva offers enough masala and mayhem to keep you hooked. It’s not flawless: the women barely get screen time, and the altered climax feels like a cop-out. Still, the bromance, action set pieces, and Shahid’s full-throttle performance make it an engaging ride. He’s not likable—but he’s magnetic. Deva is bold, brash, and unapologetically Shahid. Watch it for the chaos. Stay for the conviction.
This long weekend, dive into a powerful new chapter from the world of The Lion King with Mufasa: The Lion King. But here’s what makes it truly special — the legendary Shah Rukh Khan brings Mufasa to life in Hindi, lending his unmistakable voice, gravitas, and warmth to the iconic character. Joining him are his sons — Aryan Khan as Simba and little AbRam Khan as young Mufasa — making this more than just a film. It’s a legacy, passed from father to sons, both on-screen and off. Told through the wise eyes of Rafiki, Mufasa explores how a lost, lonely cub rises to become the king of the Pride Lands. Along the way, he finds friendship, faces betrayal, and discovers what it truly means to lead. It’s emotional, majestic, and deeply human — a story of resilience, destiny, and the bonds that define us. Whether you grew up quoting Mufasa or simply want to hear SRK roar with that signature intensity, this film is a must-watch. It’s not just a movie — it’s a celebration of voice, power, and timeless storytelling.
Viduthalai Part 2 (Netflix)
This Tamil-language actioner starring Vijay Sethupathi and Manju Warrier is the gripping conclusion to director Vetrimaaran’s two-part adaptation of Jeyamohan’s short story Thunaivan (Companion). Viduthalai Part 2 dives deeper into themes of power, duty, and morality. Directed by Vetrimaaran, the film boasts a stellar cast including Soori, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Bhavani Sre, Rajiv Menon, Ilavarasu, Balaji Sakthivel, Saravana Subbiah, Chetan, and Munnar Ramesh. Expect an intense, raw, and emotionally resonant continuation that blurs the line between justice and resistance.
Newly married life isn’t all roses and romantic selfies — just ask the couple at the heart of this Malayalam-language film Anpodu Kanmani. This charming yet emotionally layered drama dives into what really happens after the “happily ever after.” As love meets ambition, and personal dreams clash with nosy aunties, societal norms, and cultural expectations, this couple is put to the test. It's sweet, it's messy, and it’s painfully relatable. Will love win, or will they buckle under the pressure of “log kya kahenge” [What will people say]? If you're into stories with heart, a dash of sass, and a lot of soul — this one’s worth your weekend binge.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is a gritty, adrenaline-fueled origin story that dives deep into the making of one of cinema’s most iconic rebels. Snatched from the idyllic Green Place of Many Mothers, young Furiosa is thrust into a savage world ruled by warring tyrants. As chaos reigns and empires rise and fall, she fights tooth and nail to survive, driven by the hope of returning home. Anya-Taylor Joy is in top form in this fantasy adventure. Plus, director George Miller crafts a visually explosive, emotionally charged journey that’s as much about vengeance as it is about resilience. It's a must-watch for fans of raw action, strong female leads, and dystopian epics.
