2. Groundhog Day
If looking for something that gives you the exact festive vibe, "Groundhog Day" is the right pick. The plot of the film is quite interesting where the protagonist is compelled to think of the way he has treated people, realizing all the mistakes he has made. The man in the picture is TV weatherman Phil Connor, who is made to relive one particular day again and again. Nor he can escape this nor does he know what to do. The only way is to learn and understand why he is reliving the same day again and again. Trust us when we say, the movie keeps you hooked till the end.
Streaming: December 1, on Amazon.
3. The Marvelous Mrs Maisel - Season 2
"The Marvelous Mrs Maisel", made headlines when it won eight Emmy Awards. Do we need to say more? Set in late 1950s Midge Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan) will instantly fill your life with laughter. As the show enters its second season, the makers are giving more room to the ensemble cast making it an uber fun watch. From cinematography to the screenplay, there is nothing that can go wrong with this show. Midge's wit is still intact and you can't afford to miss this entertaining banter.
Streaming: December 5, on Amazon.
4. Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle
We bet the name is enough to bring back tons of memories. Netflix is all set to bring Mowgli back to life. Director Andy Serkis's take on "The Jungle Book" is something many of us are waiting for. The trailer has successfully managed to hook us to the screen. The story follows the life of Mowgli (Rohan Chand) who is trying to keep up with the pack because here it is about the survival of the fittest. Tiger Shere Khan considers him as a threat. Soon the story takes a different turn and he is introduced to the world of humans. The cherry on the top is the stunning voice-overs by Benedict Cumberbatch (tiger Shere Khan) and Christian Bale (panther Bagheera). This couldn't have got better!
Streaming: December 7, on Netflix.
