Take a look at more titles you can watch this week.
Paatal Lok (Amazon Prime Video)
Produced by Anushka Sharma's Clean Slate Filmz, the highly anticipated nine-part crime drama revolves around Inspector Hathi Ram Chaudhary (Jaideep Ahlawat), a washed-out Delhi cop, who is given charge of an extremely high-profile case. The case turns out to be a devious maze where nothing is what it seems on the surface. This, in turn, leads Chaudhary down a treacherous path that leads straight to the dangerous alleys of the netherworld - Paatal Lok.
What are the Odds? (Netflix)
Abhay Deol's next project as a producer is a feature film titled What are the Odds?, in collaboration with the makers of Delhi Crime, FilmKaravan Originals. Abhay will also be seen playing the role of a rockstar in the film. What are the Odds? is Megha Ramaswamy's directorial debut and stars Yashaswini Dayama (Dear Zindagi, Made in Heaven, Delhi Crime) and Karanvir Malhotra (The Forgotten Army, Selection Day).
