It is finally Friday (January 16, 2026), and the streaming platforms have definitely delivered a solid line-up to kick off the weekend. Whether you have been waiting for a big theatrical movie to hit small screens or you’re looking for a brand-new series to binge, there is plenty to choose from today.

The releases today are spread across all the major players like Netflix, Prime Video, and ZEE5, so you might find yourself jumping between apps. From Farhan Akhtar’s long-awaited military drama to a massive Hollywood reunion featuring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, the variety is quite impressive. Here is the full breakdown of everything new on OTT today.
120 Bahadur
Where to watch: Amazon Prime Video
One of the most talked-about Indian films of the season, 120 Bahadur finally makes its global digital premiere. Starring Farhan Akhtar as Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, the film is an emotional and visceral retelling of the 1962 Battle of Rezang La. It chronicles the bravery of 120 Indian soldiers who stood their ground against thousands of Chinese troops in the freezing altitudes of Ladakh. Unlike typical “loud” war movies, this one is being praised for its focus on brotherhood, quiet resilience, and the tactical brilliance of the 13 Kumaon Regiment.
The Rip
Where to watch: Netflix
Hollywood fans have been waiting for The Rip, as it reunites real-life best friends Matt Damon and Ben Affleck on screen. Directed by Joe Carnahan, this gritty crime thriller follows a group of Miami narcotics officers. The story kicks off when a routine drug bust uncovers a staggering 20 million dollars in cash – far more than the unit expected. As the pressure builds and the authorities begin to close in, trust within the group starts to rot, leading to a high-stakes game of survival and betrayal.
Kalamkaval
Where to watch: SonyLIV
Malayalam cinema continues its streak of exceptional thrillers with Kalamkaval. Featuring the legendary Mammootty alongside a powerhouse performance by Vinayakan, this film is a dark, atmospheric procedural. What starts as a simple village inquiry into missing persons slowly uncovers a terrifying pattern of serial killings that have gone unnoticed for years. Mammootty’s performance as the calculating Stanley Das is already being hailed as one of his most chilling new avatars in recent memory.
Mastiii 4
Where to watch: ZEE5
If you need something lighthearted and a bit nostalgic, the ‘Masti’ trio is back. Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi, and Aftab Shivdasani return for Mastiii 4, the latest installment in the adult-comedy franchise. This time, the friends are dealing with midlife crises and suspicious wives, leading to a series of chaotic misadventures. While the humor remains unapologetically slapstick, the addition of Arshad Warsi and Tusshar Kapoor to the mix brings a fresh layer of comedic timing to the franchise.
Can This Love Be Translated?
Where to watch: Netflix
K-drama fans have a massive reason to celebrate today. Can This Love Be Translated? stars Kim Seon-ho and Go Youn-jung in a romantic comedy that is expected to top global charts. The story revolves around a multilingual interpreter who falls into a complicated relationship with a global superstar actress. As they travel the world together, their conflicting personalities and the literal language barrier create a ‘lost in translation’ dynamic that is both heartwarming and hilarious.
Bharat Ke Super Founders
Where to watch: MX Player
For those who enjoy reality television with a business edge, Suniel Shetty hosts Bharat Ke Super Founders. Similar in spirit to Shark Tank, this show focuses on nation-building startups from small-town India. Today’s premiere introduces a massive 100 Crore investment pool, where founders pitch their ideas to a panel of industry tycoons. It is a raw, intense look at the entrepreneurial spirit driving the country today.
Bha Bha Ba
Where to watch: ZEE5
Another major Malayalam release today is Bha Bha Ba, starring Dileep with a much-discussed cameo by Mohanlal. This film is a sharp political satire disguised as an action-comedy. It follows a man who takes the extreme step of kidnapping the Chief Minister, not for ransom, but to force the leader to listen to the grievances of the common man. It’s a bold, entertaining mix of social commentary and physical humor.
