"Dhanush vs Dragons!" A 'Game of Thrones' Prequel And A Bollywood Romance Clash on OTT This Week!
If you thought the theatrical clash between Border 2 and Dhurandhar 2 (Teaser) was big, wait until you see the OTT lineup. This week (Jan 19 – Jan 25) is arguably the biggest streaming week of 2026 so far. We have Dhanush returning to his Raanjhanaa roots on Netflix, and HBO/JioCinema dropping the biggest fantasy show of the year.

Here is your complete guide to what to watch this weekend across all platforms.

The Bollywood Headliner: 'Tere Ishk Mein' (Netflix)


Release Date: Friday, January 23

The Pitch: The "spiritual sequel" to Raanjhanaa is finally here.

The Plot: Dhanush plays Shankar, an aggressive, heartbroken lover in Varanasi, with Kriti Sanon as the woman caught in his chaotic orbit. Expect A.R. Rahman’s music to make you cry.

Why Watch: It’s Dhanush and Aanand L. Rai. You know it’s going to be intense.

The Global Event: 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' (JioCinema)


Release Date: Streaming Now (Premiered Monday, Jan 19)

The Pitch: The Game of Thrones universe expands again!

The Plot: Set 90 years before GOT, this prequel follows "Dunk" (Ser Duncan the Tall) and "Egg" (the future King Aegon V Targaryen) as they wander Westeros.

The Vibe: It’s smaller, warmer, and more adventurous than House of the Dragon, but with plenty of Targaryen drama.

The Thriller: 'Cheekatilo' (Prime Video)


Release Date: Friday, January 23

The Star: Sobhita Dhulipala headlines this dark, bilingual (Telugu/Hindi) survival thriller.

The Plot: A group of strangers gets trapped in a high-tech smart home that turns against them. Sobhita plays a tech journalist trying to hack her way out before the oxygen runs out.

The Hollywood Heavyweight: 'Zero Day' (Netflix)


Release Date: Streaming Now

The Pitch: Robert De Niro in his first-ever TV series.

The Plot: He plays a former U.S. President tasked with finding the truth behind a massive cyberattack that has paralyzed the country. It’s tense, political, and very relevant.

Quick Catch-Up (If You Missed It)


'Mastiii 4' (Zee5): Released last week (Jan 16), this Riteish Deshmukh-Vivek Oberoi comedy is currently the #1 trend on Zee5. Watch it if you just want to turn your brain off.

'120 Bahadur' (Prime Video): Farhan Akhtar’s war drama is still holding strong in the Top 10.

SantaBanta Verdict: It is a tough choice.

For Romance/Drama: Tere Ishk Mein (Netflix).

For Fantasy: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (JioCinema).

For Suspense: Zero Day (Netflix).
