Thappad was born out of a conversation between director Anubhav Sinha and actress Taapsee Pannu on the sets of Mulk. After that hard-hitting film, the two of them wanted to explore the issue of domestic violence on screen. Thappad released to critical acclaim in February, and is now available to stream online.
Shirish Kunder is back to direction with the thriller Mrs Serial Killer on Netflix, starring Jacqueline Fernandez and Manoj Bajpayee. This week also marked the big digital premiere of Baaghi 3, much to the delight of Tiger Shroff fans who couldn't catch the film in theatres. Baaghi 3's run was cut short by the coronavirus outbreak.
There're lots to choose from on streaming platforms. Heres what you can check out:
