This week's OTT releases bring varied content to cater to all tastes and preferences. Hisaab Barabar, a satirical comedy-drama starring R. Madhavan as a railway ticket checker who uncovers a multi-crore financial scam, is available on ZEE5. 

For thrillers, Peter Sutherland in Netflix's The Night Agent Season 2 investigates a mole in the CIA, which leads him on a journey of uncovering a global conspiracy. It features Sweet Dreams as the romantic drama of the night, about two strangers, on Disney+ Hotstar. Two strangers can be said to dream vivid dreams of each other although they haven't met ever before.

It has the remake, Sivarapalli in Telugu available on Amazon Prime Video, wherein a graduate engineering becomes a Panchayat Secretary in the rural village. There is The Sand Castle, a thriller from Lebanon which tells the story of a family and their secret past and complicated relationship. 

Last but not least, W.A.G.s to Riches, the reality show focusing on the wives and girlfriends of athletes and musicians, has been added to Netflix. Here are some OTT releases this week which cut across several genres.

1. Hisaab Barabar (ZEE5)

Hisaab Barabar is a satirical comedy-drama, in which R. Madhavan plays the character of Radhe Mohan Sharma, an Indian railway ticket checker who gets to discover the humongous fraud going on within the railway department. 

Navigating through the web of corruption, deceit, and complications within the system, Sharma's endeavors to uncover the fraud are quite hilarious at the same time. The show successfully intermingles humor with drama while handling actual issues like financial malpractices within a lighthearted yet effective light.

“Jab tak hum sab apna hisaab barabar nahi karenge, tab tak yeh desh aage nahi badhega.”

2. The Night Agent Season 2 (Netflix)

The Night Agent picks up the momentum from the previous season as Peter Sutherland continues his perilous and suspenseful journey through FBI ranks, revealing a far more global and international conspiracy, reaching into every single aspect of the country and endangering its national security. Full of action, pulse-pounding thrills, and sudden turns, it unfolds as one of the seasons in spy thriller.

"The only way to win this game is to know who’s playing on both sides."

3. Sweet Dreams (Disney+ Hotstar)

This romantic drama delves into the mysterious connection of two unknown individuals, Dia and Kenny, who have never met yet start dreaming of each other vividly. As they begin to unwrap the mystery behind their dreams, the lives of the protagonists start colliding in ways that they would not have expected. 

This story revolves around the mysterious ways in which the universe tries to bring two people together based on themes such as destiny and love.

"Maybe we were meant to meet in our dreams, because our hearts already knew each other."

4. Sivarapalli (Amazon Prime Video)

Sivarapalli is the Telugu remake of the popular Hindi series Panchayat. The story revolves around an engineering graduate who, after failing to get a high-paying job, takes up the job of a Panchayat Secretary in a small, remote village. 

What seems to be a rather dull and underwhelming job becomes a journey of self-discovery and realization as the protagonist learns about rural governance, the challenges of village life, and his own growth.

"Kisi ka bhi kaam asaan nahi hota, bas humare nazariye par depend karta hai."

5. The Sand Castle (Netflix)

This is a gripping Lebanese thriller that explores the complicated dynamics that bring together a family who get stuck on an isolated island. Families are forced to confront long-buried secrets and emotional wounds at the worst moment that threatens to tear them apart. 

As the tension unfolds, the story unravels, showing how the past always resurfaces at the worst possible time.

"Sometimes the sand castles we build are the only things holding us together, but even they can crumble."

6. WAGS to Riches (Netflix)

W.A.G.s to Riches is a reality drama which is going to have an up close look into the glamorous lifestyles of wives and girlfriends of sports players and musicians. It deep digs into their expensive lifestyle, private battles, and being scrutinized publicly. 

There's contrast, the outer appearance and reality inside: that life behind that gleam which defines their problems through their relationship, profession, or even aspirations in life.

"Behind every high-profile relationship is a story you’ll never see on the red carpet."
