2. Madea’s Destination Wedding (English | Comedy)
Starring: Tyler Perry as Madea
Why Watch: A chaotic family wedding in the Bahamas goes hilariously wrong as Madea tries to “fix” it all with her signature sass. If you’ve followed Perry’s Madea franchise, this one promises tropical scenery, laugh-out-loud moments, and family feuds with heart.

SonyLIV
4. Narivetta (Malayalam | Political Thriller)
Starring: Tovino Thomas
Why Watch: Inspired by the real-life Muthanga incident, this film sheds light on systemic injustice, indigenous resistance, and police overreach in Kerala’s tribal belt. Tovino gives one of his most intense performances yet in a story that blends activism with drama, without falling into cliché.
Lionsgate Play
5. Four Years Later (English | Romance, Indie Drama)
Why Watch: A cross-continental arranged marriage becomes a long-distance emotional puzzle. Set between Delhi and Melbourne, this indie film captures the impact of culture, distance, and identity on relationships. Understated but deeply affecting.
6. Mr. Rani (Kannada | Social Comedy)

7. The Silent Hour (English | Crime Thriller)
Why Watch: A Boston-based thriller about a hearing-impaired former detective who protects a deaf teen witness from corrupt cops. With minimal dialogue and heightened sound design, this film explores vulnerability, courage, and justice in a uniquely immersive way.
This weekend's OTT lineup delivers more than just big names—it offers range, relevance, and regional brilliance.
From love stories told with maturity to socially-rooted thrillers and wild comedy capers, the July 11 drop proves that storytelling is thriving across languages and genres.
