Glory

Set in the high-stakes world of Indian boxing, the ring becomes a battleground for personal conflicts, buried secrets, and emotional reckoning in this gritty and suspenseful series. Brothers Dev and Ravi, played by Divyenndu and Pulkit Samrat, investigate a shocking murder. At the same time, they must navigate a troubled reunion with their father, a renowned coach named Raghubir Singh (Suvinder Vicky) who is driven by an obsession with Olympic glory.

KARTAVYA

Every choice comes at a cost. Saif Ali Khan stars in the morally complex crime drama as Pawan, a police officer tasked with investigating a journalist’s suspicious murder. He must decide how far he’ll go to uphold his duty — personally and professionally. Will he carry out the assignment, or will he focus his efforts on his family and protect his younger brother from impending doom? The gritty thriller is co-written and directed by Pulkit (Bhakshak).

Lock Upp

What happens when the people we think we know are finally forced to reveal who they really are? In a new reality experiment, 14 well-known personalities are placed inside a controlled, high-pressure jail — cut off from the outside world, stripped of comforts, and subjected to increasingly challenging tasks. Riteish Deshmukh and Farah Khan host the unpredictable series, which gives the “inmates” an opportunity to reveal the stories beyond their image. But they must be strategic — every move can flip the narrative overnight.

Maa Behen

You can't have a crime comedy without a little chaos. Madhuri Dixit stars in the film as Rekha, a mother who’s already juggling enough until life throws her the ultimate curveball: a dead body in her kitchen. With the help of her two daughters — the responsible Jaya (Triptii Dimri), and the wildcard Sushma (Dharna Durga) — the family trio must think fast and lie even faster, all to somehow keep the nosy neighbors of their small town from sniffing out the truth.

Taskaree: The Smuggler's Web

This seven-episode thriller thrusts viewers into a relentless battle of wits inside an agency where concealment is craft, intel is currency, and there are no second chances. The specialized government task force at Mumbai International Airport is led by an uncompromisingly honest team of officers — played by Emraan Hashmi, Amruta Khanvilkar, Nandish Singh Sandhu, and Anurag Sinha. Together, they take on a notorious kingpin and his powerful syndicate, who expertly stay off the radar.
