If your watchlist is full but nothing feels right for tonight, this is a good week to reset. Between 8–14 December 2025, we’ve added a mix of documentary, crime thrillers, regional dramas and new kids movies, so you don’t have to keep scrolling for your watchlist of what to watch on OTT this week.
This line-up also answers the question most people end up googling: what to watch on OTT this week. You get a Hindi docu-series, a crime drama, a Bengali detective film, a Kannada thriller, and two Boonie Bears adventures for kid time with the remote. Parents breathe. Kids cheer.
After you build your shortlist, open the Movies library, explore Web Series formats, or browse rows by your favourite language on the app at home with family and friends beside you all.
Here are six new releases on ZEE5, and when they fit best into your schedule of what to watch on OTT this week.
Kesariya@100: A Century Of Stories In A New Docu-Series
If you’re in the mood for non-fiction, Kesariya@100 is the big new Hindi docu-series to know about. On 12 December 2025, the series will be available on ZEE5 to watch and runs nine episodes, while it blends documentary, history, and drama to look back at 100 years of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Nitish Bharadwaj hosts and brings archival footage and on-ground stories that trace how the organisation’s ideas and relief work changed through the decades.
The tone is closer to long-form documentary than classroom history, with episodes walking through founding years, key debates and different chapters of social work. It’s best watched slowly, one episode at a time, and will appeal to viewers who already enjoy serious-leaning titles in our Hindi web series shelf.
Saali Mohabbat: When A Small-Town Love Story Turns Dark
For film-night energy, Saali Mohabbat is the week’s biggest Hindi movie drop. Tisca Chopra makes her feature debut as writer and director. Radhika Apte and Divyenndu lead the film. It starts like a familiar small-town marriage story.
A double murder case replaces that story. A homemaker turns into the prime suspect. The tone moves from domestic drama to crime thriller territory. The film relies on performance and shifting loyalties rather than showy twists.
As family secrets, money issues and old grudges surface, you keep rethinking who you believe. If you enjoy grounded crime dramas where the real tension sits inside relationships, make this your Friday-night watch in the list of what to watch on OTT this week from the new Hindi movies slate.
Aranyar Prachin Probad: A New Bengali Detective To Root For
If you live for Bengali thrillers, Aranyar Prachin Probad is the standout regional movie this week. After its theatrical run in 2024, the Dulal Dey–directed detective thriller is now streaming for home viewing. The thriller film sets Jeetu Kamal as Aranya, a medical student and amateur sleuth who helps his CID brother-in-law crack the murder of Dr Amit Roy at a rural hospital.
A case that looks simple at the start reveals malpractice in nursing homes, corrupt officials, and money trails that wind through town. The forest-side setting keeps the film tense and slightly cut off from the city, full of people who’d rather stay quiet. It sits neatly alongside other titles in our Bengali Movies tray.
Green: A Kannada Thriller Where You Can’t Trust Your Own Eyes
The platform shows Green, which continues the Kannada thriller run. Raaj Vijay directed this 1-hour and 51-minute film. It follows Mayanna (Gopalkrishna Deshpande), a man with paranoid schizophrenia. His visions blur the line between memory, folklore and real danger.
Set in and around a forested landscape, Green surrounds Mayanna with characters played by Balaji Manohar, Dimpy Fadhya and others. You wonder if he makes up the threat or digs up something real and dark, and that doubt hooks you, and the film holds with strength. Pick it for night hours if you like mind games more than jump scares and want more Kannada thrillers in your queue.
Boonie Bears: Homeward Journey – Gentle, Holiday-Tinted Fun
On the kids’ front, Boonie Bears: Homeward Journey joins the catalogue this week as a cosy animated feature. This story of this adventure movie follows Logger Vick, a logger who needs money to get home for the New Year. Two bear brothers stand up and guard their forest from his chainsaw and plans; they refuse to back down.
The conflict is simple and warm: plenty of slapstick, quick visual gags and a gentle message about home and priorities. At just over an hour, it’s short enough for a weekday evening but still feels like “movie night” to younger viewers.
Boonie Bears 7: The Wild Life – Big, Noisy Adventure For Weekend Binge Time
For slightly older kids (and adults who secretly love loud animated adventures), Boonie Bears 7: The Wild Life is the bigger, wilder watch. This time, the bears walk into “Wild Land,” a high-tech theme park that lets guests transform into animal–human hybrids for an extreme adventure package. As expected, the tech doesn’t stay under control for long, and the park turns into a sci-fi action zone.
The movie plays like a mash-up of comedy, science fiction and roller-coaster disaster film, with transformation sequences, chase scenes and plenty of visual chaos inside the park. It’s an easy Saturday or Sunday pick when the whole family is free, and you don’t mind the living room sounding like a theme park for 90 minutes.
What To Watch On ZEE5 This Week: Final Picks For Your Watchlist
If you’re still undecided about what to watch on OTT this week, here’s one easy route: keep Kesariya@100 for quieter evenings, pair Saali Mohabbat and Green as your thrill-heavy double bill, save Aranyar Prachin Probad for a focused Saturday night, and let the two Boonie Bears films handle family time. Together, these six releases give you an up-to-date answer to the “what should we watch tonight?” question for the entire week.
