This week, actor Tahir Raj Bhasin, who is now preparing for the release of Looop Lapeta, and has wrapped up Netflix’s Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein, shares his OTT recommendations:
1. The Family Man Season 2

Directors: Raj Nidimoru, Krishna DK and Suparn S Verma
Language: Hindi
Platform: Amazon Prime Video
Tahir’s take: “I loved the story-telling. Manoj Bajpayee’s acting is out of this world, and the fact that they cast Samantha Akkineni in that role made the show very interesting.”
2. Nomadland
Cast: Frances McDormand, David Strathairn, Linda May, Swankie, and Bob Wells
Director: Chloé Zhao
Language: English
Platform: Disney Plus Hotstar
Tahir’s take: “If you have a day where you can be by yourself, then watch Nomadland. It will leave you thinking about life and the meaning of our existence. Frances McDormand is outstanding.”
3. Pagglait
Cast: Sanya Malhotra, Ashutosh Rana, Shruti Sharma and Raghubir Yadav
Director: Umesh Bist
Language: Hindi
Platform: Netflix
Tahir’s take: “I thought Sanya Malhotra delivered a good performance, and it had a fabulous ensemble. The film manages to create such a great small-town world that I got lost in the film when I was watching it. It had a very old-world charm to it, and it felt like you are a part of that family.”
OTT Playlist: Apurva Asrani | Chandan Roy Sanyal
4. Love, Death & Robots (Volumes 1 and 2)
Cast: Michael B. Jordan, Elodie Yung, Joe Dempsie

Tahir’s take: “This stylishly put together animation series about a dystopian world makes for a good watch when you don’t have too much time on your hands. It is an easy binge-watch title.”
5. Maharani
Cast: Huma Qureshi, Sohum Shah, Amit Sial, Kani Kusruti and Inaamulhaq
Director: Karan Sharma
Language: Hindi

Tahir’s take: “Huma Qureshi’s Maharani makes for an interesting watch as it shows the ’90s political scenario in Bihar. The storytelling and Huma as the protagonist make such an impact.”
