Top 10 OTT Releases This Week: Irumudi, Lust Stories 3 & More to Stream

Streaming on: Multiple Platforms

A fresh week means a brand-new batch of movies and series landing on your favourite OTT platforms. Whether you’re a fan of Telugu originals, Hindi dramas, or international sensations, this week’s lineup is packed with variety. Here’s our countdown of the top 10 OTT releases you won’t want to miss, ranked for their buzz, genre appeal, and streaming platform impact.

#10. Husharu Pittalu

Husharu Pittalu kicks off the week on Amazon Prime Video, bringing a Telugu film that promises youthful energy and relatable drama. Scheduled for September 15, this release aims to capture the spirit of friendship and coming-of-age themes, a genre that often finds favour with Telugu audiences. Its early arrival sets the tone for a packed OTT calendar, but with so many heavy hitters ahead, it lands at number ten.

#9. Waiting Hai Season 1

Amazon Prime Video adds a Hindi series to its roster with Waiting Hai Season 1, streaming from September 16. The show’s premise taps into contemporary urban life, offering relatable stories for a pan-Indian audience. While it’s not a Telugu original, its inclusion broadens the week’s OTT palette and brings Hindi drama fans into the mix. With bigger Telugu and pan-Indian titles ahead, it holds the ninth spot.

#8. Tholubommalu

Telugu viewers get another treat with Tholubommalu, a series streaming on ETV Win from September 17. The show’s local flavour and cultural nuances make it a strong contender for family audiences. ETV Win’s focus on regional content helps Tholubommalu stand out, but with some high-profile films releasing later in the week, it settles at number eight.

#7. Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 Season 2

Netflix brings back the nostalgia with Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 Season 2, an English animated series dropping on September 17. The franchise’s global popularity and retro appeal ensure it draws attention, especially among younger viewers and fans of the original Stranger Things universe. However, as an animated spin-off, it doesn’t quite match the anticipation of the week’s major Telugu and Hindi releases.

#6. Lee Cronin’s The Mummy (Telugu Dub)

JioHotstar offers Lee Cronin’s The Mummy in Telugu, debuting September 17. This English film’s dubbed version caters to regional audiences who love a supernatural thriller with a Hollywood twist. The blend of international production and local accessibility makes it a unique pick, but with original Telugu content on the way, it lands at number six.

#5. Modha Rathri (Telugu Dub)

Netflix continues its push for regional inclusivity with Modha Rathri, a Tamil film dubbed in Telugu, streaming from September 18. This move ensures that Telugu-speaking viewers can enjoy Kollywood’s latest thrillers without language barriers. The strategic timing and platform reach give Modha Rathri an edge, but it faces stiff competition from original Telugu releases this week.

#4. Ram and Leela

Amazon Prime Video’s Ram and Leela, a Tamil film, adds a romantic flavour to the week’s lineup. Streaming from September 18, it showcases Kollywood’s knack for emotional storytelling and musical drama. While not a Telugu original, its presence on a major platform and cross-industry appeal make it a strong mid-list entry.

#3. Lust Stories 3 (Telugu Dub)

Netflix’s Lust Stories 3, releasing September 18, brings the acclaimed Hindi anthology series to Telugu audiences through dubbing. The franchise is known for its bold themes and top-tier filmmaking, and this latest installment is expected to spark conversations across language barriers. Its pan-Indian relevance and Netflix’s wide reach secure it a top-three spot.

#2. Irumudi

Irumudi, a Telugu film premiering on Netflix from September 18, is one of the week’s most anticipated releases. As a direct-to-OTT Telugu original, it’s poised to attract viewers looking for fresh storytelling and regional authenticity. The film’s exclusive debut on Netflix signals the platform’s ongoing commitment to Telugu cinema, making Irumudi a must-watch for fans eager for new content.

#1. Dhee 21: Double Impact

Topping the list is Dhee 21: Double Impact, a Telugu dance reality show streaming on Netflix from September 19. The Dhee franchise has a massive following in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, and this latest season promises even more electrifying performances and celebrity appearances. Its blend of entertainment, competition, and regional pride makes it the most unmissable OTT release of the week.
