With temperatures soaring everywhere, the ideal thing to do over the weekend is to stay in in and make good use of those air conditioners. And while you cool off, check out some of these series and movies which have just released on various OTT platforms. Its a varied choice, so you get to decide between World War 2, unconventional romance tales and the twists in legal cases.

With the objective of capturing Sicily, two British Intelligence officers disguise an anonymous dead person as an officer of the Royal Marines (yes, Satish Shah and Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron does come to mind). Their aim is to put secret files with him which show that the target is Greece and then make him wash up on the shores of Spain. In the hopes that Germans would fall for their trick, Britain waits with fingers crossed to see what actually happens. Released on Netflix on May 11.

2. Modern Love Mumbai
