Cocktail 2, Reacher Season 4 and Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata lead OTT releases this week.

The second week of August comes loaded with courtroom confrontations, messy romances, political conspiracies, true-crime stories, psychological horror and returning favourites across Netflix, Prime Video, JioHotstar, Lionsgate Play and other streaming platforms. At the front of the queue are Cocktail 2, which puts Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna inside a romantic experiment that goes badly off-script; Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, a survival drama set during the 26/11 Mumbai attacks; and Reacher Season 4, which drops Alan Ritchson into another sprawling conspiracy after a disturbing encounter on a Philadelphia subway.

From José Mourinho looking back at two decades of football management to a young scholar publicly taking on his celebrated mentor in Aakhri Sawaal, here is the complete, reshuffled lineup of OTT releases arriving between August 10 and August 14.

Cocktail 2 – August 14 (Netflix)

A spiritual successor to Homi Adajania’s 2012 romantic drama rather than a direct continuation, Cocktail 2 revolves around Kunal, Diya and Ally, three people who discover how quickly a harmless relationship experiment can wreck the emotional equilibrium between them.

Shahid Kapoor plays Kunal, a chef in a long-term relationship with architect Diya, played by Rashmika Mandanna. The couple has resisted mounting pressure to marry and heads to Sicily for a holiday, where they reconnect with Diya’s free-spirited university friend Ally, played by Kriti Sanon. What follows begins almost as a joke. Diya asks Ally to flirt with Kunal to test his loyalty. The problem is that the flirtation stops being pretend when Ally genuinely falls for him. What was meant to reassure Diya instead exposes insecurities, attraction and uncomfortable questions about how much faith the couple actually has in the relationship they have spent years protecting.

Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata – August 14 (ZEE5)

Set against the 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai, Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata shifts attention away from the larger geopolitical canvas and towards the ordinary medical workers who suddenly found themselves functioning inside a war zone.

The survival drama focuses on nurses and other staff members at Cama and Albless Hospital as violence erupts around them. With patients, colleagues and civilians depending on them, the medical workers must continue doing their jobs despite the knowledge that their own lives are in immediate danger. The film centres courage without turning its characters into conventional action heroes, instead examining the split-second decisions, fear and sense of responsibility that pushed ordinary professionals to protect hundreds of people while the city was under attack.

Reacher Season 4 – August 12 (Prime Video)

Alan Ritchson returns as Jack Reacher in a season adapted from Lee Child’s 13th Reacher novel, Gone Tomorrow. While the book unfolds in New York, the series relocates the story to Philadelphia, where an apparently random subway encounter sends Reacher into another conspiracy.

When he notices a visibly distressed woman aboard a train, Reacher’s instincts tell him something is wrong. What happens next drags him into an investigation whose implications reach far beyond one passenger or one incident. The deeper he goes, the more the case begins pointing towards powerful people capable of shaping events from behind the scenes. Maria Sten returns as Neagley, while Sydelle Noel, Agnez Mo, Anggun, Kevin Corrigan, Marc Blucas, Kathleen Robertson and Christopher Marquette join the fourth-season cast.

Aakhri Sawaal – August 14 (Lionsgate Play)

Namashi Chakraborty plays Vicky Hegde, a brilliant but volatile scholar whose academic dispute with his mentor escalates into a national spectacle. Sanjay Dutt stars as Professor Gopal Nadkarni, an eminent intellectual who rejects Vicky’s thesis on the RSS.

Vicky responds by publicly accusing Nadkarni of institutional bias. What might ordinarily have remained an internal university disagreement is seized upon by television networks and political groups, transforming mentor and student into opposing figures in a televised ideological battle. Yet Vicky’s confrontation is not driven only by academic frustration. As his increasingly pointed questions strip away the public debate, a far more personal motive emerges, eventually leading towards a decades-old secret concerning the unexplained disappearance of researcher Pallavi Menon. Amit Sadh, Sameera Reddy, Tridha Choudhary and Nitu Chandra Srivastava also feature.

My Brilliant Career – August 13 (Netflix)

Miles Franklin’s landmark 1901 Australian novel receives its first television adaptation, following the celebrated 1979 film starring Judy Davis and Sam Neill.

Philippa Northeast plays Sybylla Melvyn, an intelligent and fiercely independent young woman living in rural Australia at the turn of the 20th century. Her family sees marriage as the most sensible future available to her, but Sybylla is determined to become a writer and refuses to quietly accept the life others have mapped out. The arrival of wealthy neighbour Harry Beecham, played by Christopher Chung, complicates that certainty. Rather than framing the choice as simply career versus romance, the series examines what independence costs a woman living in a world designed to reward obedience over ambition.

Mourinho – August 11 (Netflix)

Released as José Mourinho begins a second spell at Real Madrid, this three-part documentary traces more than two decades of one of football’s most celebrated, combative and scrutinised managerial careers.

Filmed over two years, the series begins with FC Porto’s remarkable Champions League victory in 2004 before revisiting Mourinho’s spells at Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Tottenham, Roma and Fenerbahçe. The story is told not just through Mourinho himself but through football figures who worked with, competed against or observed him at close quarters. Sir Alex Ferguson, John Terry, Iker Casillas, Didier Drogba, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Marcelo, Samuel Eto’o, Javier Zanetti, Frank Lampard and Petr Čech are among those contributing to the documentary.

Women in Blue Season 2 – August 12 (Apple TV)

Bárbara Mori returns as María, now promoted to lieutenant, as the acclaimed Spanish-language crime drama opens another investigation rooted in Mexico’s political past.

When the body of a student activist is discovered, María and the Azules begin following clues that reach back to the 1968 student massacre, one of the most politically sensitive episodes in modern Mexican history. The case becomes even more dangerous when a killer appears to begin delivering a personal version of justice directly to the police department. Natalia Téllez, Amorita Rasgado and Ximena Sariñana return alongside Mori as the investigators confront a crime whose origins extend far beyond the present.

Don’t Say Good Luck – August 14 (Netflix)

Sunny Sandler plays Sophie Birenbaum, a teenager approaching one of the biggest moments of her young life: her starring role in her high-school production of Waitress. Just as rehearsals and first-love complications should be occupying all her attention, her mother Elizabeth’s cancer returns.

Melanie Lynskey plays Elizabeth, while Max Greenfield stars as Sophie’s father. Sophie suddenly finds herself trying to remain present for her mother while carrying school responsibilities, family anxiety, a demanding musical and her growing feelings for a boy played by Jack Champion. Stephanie Beatriz appears as her drama teacher. The coming-of-age dramedy uses the collision between theatrical performance and family crisis to explore the uncomfortable reality that adolescence does not stop simply because something devastating happens at home.

Moria – August 14 (Netflix)

Timed to coincide with Moria Casán’s 80th birthday, this stylised Argentine series gives the entertainment icon control over the telling of her own mythology.

Rather than presenting a conventional chronological biography, Moria uses three performers to embody different phases of Casán’s life. Her real-life daughter Sofía Gala Castiglione plays her younger self, Griselda Siciliani takes over during the middle years, and Cecilia Roth portrays her in the present. Moving non-linearly through theatre, cinema, television, celebrity and controversy, the series examines how Casán turned provocation into both an artistic persona and a strategy for survival.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 5 – August 14 (Lionsgate Play)

The fifth and final season completes Kanan Stark’s transformation from an impressionable young man into the ruthless figure viewers know from the wider Power universe.

Mekai Curtis returns as Kanan, who is no longer trying to work out what kind of man he wants to become. His identity has hardened, and his growing partnership with Southside legend Breeze, played by Shameik Moore, places him deeper inside Queens’ drug trade. Their alliance creates a reckoning for nearly everyone around them, including the Thomas family, whose grip on power is beginning to collapse, and Unique, played by Joey Bada$$, who is fighting to protect what remains of his legacy. Patina Miller, London Brown and Malcolm Mays also return for the final chapter.

Umthetho – August 14 (Netflix)

Netflix relocates the premise of its acclaimed Brazilian series Brotherhood to South Africa for this prison-set crime drama.

Nqobile Nunu Khumalo plays Mbali Dlamini, an idealistic public prosecutor whose faith in the law is shattered by a personal discovery. Her brother Moses, played by Tony Kgoroge, whom she believed had been dead for 14 years, is alive and now controls iGazlam, a violent prison syndicate. Their worlds collide when the survival of their younger brother Sphelele is placed at risk. To keep him alive, Mbali must cooperate with a man whose criminal empire stands against everything she has built her career defending, forcing her to choose repeatedly between professional duty and blood loyalty.

Nando Between Two Worlds: A Sintonia Film – August 12 (Netflix)

The feature-length conclusion to Sintonia returns to Nando five years after his rise through São Paulo’s criminal underworld.

Now living in Serbia, Nando has put enormous physical distance between himself and everything he once controlled. That fragile separation ends when his teenage daughter Bruninha disappears. He returns to Brazil determined to find her while keeping his criminal history separate from the family life he hopes to repair. But returning home also means re-entering a world where old alliances, enemies and consequences have not disappeared simply because he left. Christian Malheiros reprises Nando, while Duda Pimenta plays Bruninha.

Kattalan – August 13 (ManoramaMAX)

Antony Varghese headlines this Malayalam action thriller set against the brutal world of the ivory trade.

The film follows a fierce hunter operating within a landscape where survival, profit and violence are tightly intertwined. His proximity to the illegal trade places him in situations where conventional ideas of hero and villain become difficult to sustain, and every decision carries consequences for both people and wildlife. Sunil Varma, Dushara Vijayan, Jagadish and Kabir Duhan Singh join Varghese in a story driven by conflict, moral ambiguity and hard-edged action.

The Traitors Season 2 – August 13 (Prime Video)

Karan Johar returns to host another season of deception, manipulation and strategic paranoia as 20 participants enter a game where cooperation is necessary even though betrayal is built into the format.

Contestants form relationships, make accusations and attempt to survive daily eliminations while competing for the eventual prize. Nobody can take another player’s allegiance for granted, and every conversation potentially doubles as strategy. The second season once again places social observation at the centre of the game, testing whether contestants can identify deception before misplaced trust sends them home.

A Child of My Own – August 13 (Netflix)

Filmmaker Maite Alberdi examines the disturbing 2009 case of Alejandra, a Mexican woman who, after enduring repeated miscarriages and immense pressure to become a mother, fabricated a prolonged pregnancy before abducting a newborn.

Instead of using a straightforward documentary structure, the film blends interviews with highly stylised dramatic reconstruction. Ana Celeste Montalvo portrays the younger Alejandra, Armando Espitia plays her husband Arturo, and Alejandra herself appears in the present-day sections. The hybrid approach examines the psychology behind the deception while also looking at societal expectations surrounding motherhood and the media frenzy that followed the crime.

Tires Season 3 – August 13 (Netflix)

Will and Shane are no longer merely the chaotic employees of Valley Forge Automotive Center. They are now part-owners, which is unfortunate considering neither appears particularly prepared for responsibility.

Steve Gerben and Shane Gillis return for the workplace comedy’s third season alongside Chris O’Connor, Kilah Fox, Stavros Halkias and Thomas Haden Church. New recurring guests include Rachel Blanchard, Matt Walsh, Garret Dillahunt, Bobby Lee and Dan Soder. Ownership brings financial pressure, personnel headaches and fresh opportunities for the same spectacularly poor judgement that has always defined the garage.

Aroopi – August 14 (Lionsgate Play)

A robbery goes disastrously wrong when two thieves unintentionally release a Yakshini imprisoned inside a doll at the Aryanattu estate.

The supernatural disturbance coincides with a vicious murder that draws Niranjan, played by Vysakh Ravi, back to the ancestral home he had left behind. As the final surviving heir of the Aryanattu lineage, Niranjan discovers that the violence is tied to an old curse that has been waiting for another generation of the family. Neha Chawla and Sakshi Badala play the other leads, with Joy Mathew, Sindhu Varma, Kiran Raj and Adithya Raj appearing in supporting roles.

My Best Friend, His Girlfriend and Me – August 14 (Netflix)

Olli and Matze have been inseparable for most of their lives, operating with the assumption that nothing will seriously interfere with their friendship. Then Matze meets Rebecca.

As the romance grows more serious, Olli begins feeling displaced and recruits Schmitti into a series of increasingly ridiculous attempts to undermine the couple. The sabotage inevitably produces more damage than either man expects, turning petty jealousy into a broader test of friendship. Kostja Ullmann, David Kross and Janina Uhse lead this German comedy about what happens when an adult friendship refuses to adjust to the fact that one person’s priorities have changed.

Midwinter Break – August 10 (Netflix)

Lesley Manville and Ciarán Hinds play Stella and Gerry, a retired couple whose spontaneous trip from Glasgow to Amsterdam becomes an opportunity to reconsider both their marriage and themselves.

After years together, routine has begun defining their relationship more strongly than curiosity or desire. Away from home and everyday obligations, the couple encounters the uncomfortable space between familiarity and emotional distance. Rather than treating later-life romance as inherently settled, the film asks what happens when two people who know nearly everything about each other realise they may still have things left to discover.

Rory Scovel: Show Must Go On – August 11 (Netflix)

Rory Scovel brings his unpredictable performance style to a new stand-up special built around ideas that escalate rapidly from ordinary observations into absurd scenarios.

Among the subjects are an imagined home invasion, an unconventional biblical reenactment and the unusual circumstances surrounding his late father’s final wish. Scovel’s loose, high-energy approach leaves room for improvisation and detours, making the show less about tightly polished punchlines and more about following the comic wherever his train of thought decides to go.

Ganito, Ganyan, Ganoon – August 13 (Netflix)

Jodi Sta. Maria leads this Filipino family drama as a successful television writer whose carefully reconstructed life is disrupted by the sudden return of her estranged mother.

Their reunion forces both women to confront secrets that have remained buried for years, as well as the resentment created by their long separation. The story centres the complicated emotional terrain between a mother and daughter who may still love one another deeply but no longer agree on the history that drove them apart.
