Wondering what movies or series to watch this weekend? Don't fret, we have you covered. Here's a list of new films and shows to dive into this weekend.

Back In Action (Netflix):

Cameron Diaz is back and making a loud statement with her long-awaited return to acting. She’s firing on all cylinders in her 2025 comeback vehicle, Back in Action, also starring Jamie Foxx. They play seemingly ordinary parents with a not-so-ordinary secret: they’re retired elite secret agents. But, as expected, their past comes calling, forcing them back into their adrenaline-filled lives for a thrilling and explosive adventure.

Dominic & The Ladies' Purse (UAE cinemas):

Consummate Malayalam actor Mammootty plays Dominic, a disgraced ex-cop turned private detective, who’s just trying to stay afloat in life. Directed by the equally talented filmmaker Gautham Menon, this film kicks off with a seemingly simple task—finding the owner of a lost purse. But nothing about Dominic’s life is ever simple. The case quickly unravels into a tangled web of missing people, a string of murders, a sinister stalker, and Nandhita, an enigmatic dancer who seems to hold all the answers. What starts as a small job becomes a race against time. It's also the first time that Gautham Menon and Mammootty are collaborating in their career.

Malayalam actor Asif Ali is on a proverbial roll. He's in top form in this whydunit as a cop who's tasked with investigating a murder that happened years ago in a small town. The angelic looking Anaswara Rajan also plays a crucial role along with seasoned actors like Manoj K Jayan. The pace may be uneven and slow, but there's enough twists and thrills to keep you invested. Hint: The murder happens during the shoot of an iconic film starring Mammootty. The re-creation of that era will trigger nostalgia.

Into The Deep (UAE cinemas):

Dive into danger with Into the Deep, an action-packed thriller directed by Christian Sesma. Starring Richard Dreyfuss, Scout Taylor-Compton, Jon Seda, and Stuart Townsend, the film follows a gang forcing tourists to retrieve sunken drugs in shark-infested waters. With ruthless criminals above and killer sharks below, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Combining suspense and underwater thrills, this is a must-watch for fans of shark movies and intense action.
