From Lupin to Sumo Didi: Friday’s OTT Releases Offer Crime, Sport and Mythology
Streaming platforms are adding a varied selection of films and series on Friday, October 23, with crime dramas, sports stories, mythology and regional cinema among the week’s entertainment options.
One of the international releases is Lupin Part 4, which brings French actor Omar Sy back as Assane Diop. The new chapter continues the story of the resourceful character whose elaborate schemes and changing identities have made the series popular with viewers. The latest instalment introduces another challenge involving a series of robberies and an attempt to clear Assane’s name.
Indian viewers also have Sumo Didi, a sports drama starring Shriyam Bhagnani as Hetal Dave, who is regarded as India’s first female professional sumo wrestler. The film follows her journey as she pursues the sport despite gender stereotypes and social attitudes that have traditionally limited women’s participation in certain disciplines.
The story explores determination, self-belief and the challenges faced by women who enter unfamiliar sporting arenas. Its focus on an Indian athlete also adds a biographical element to the week’s streaming line-up.
Crime drama fans have another option with a new release starring Manoj Bajpayee. The story centres on a police officer whose investigation into a suspicious incident draws him into a wider conspiracy. The narrative combines investigation, moral choices and the consequences of corruption.
Animation and mythology also feature in the week’s releases, with The Legend of Hanuman returning for its seventh season on JioHotstar. The series continues its retelling of episodes connected with the Ramayana through animated storytelling.
Regional cinema adds further variety. Malayalam film Dhoomakethu and Tamil film Dorothy are also listed among the releases scheduled for October 23.
The latest releases demonstrate the range of content available on streaming platforms, from international crime fiction to Indian sports stories and mythology. Audiences can choose based on their preferred genres, languages and viewing interests.
Release availability can vary by region and platform, so viewers should check the relevant streaming service for the final listing. The mix of genres nevertheless gives audiences several options for weekend entertainment.
