OTT Releases This Week: CTRL, The Signature, Manvat Murders and More



This week is big on entertainment with a host of interesting releases from across genres, on the home front as well as globally. We face the dangers of AI technology in Ananya Panday’s Netflix thriller CTRL and relive the horror of brutal, occult killings in a Maharashtrian village in the 1970s in SonyLiv’s Manvat Murders. Anupam Kher brings out the story of a heart-shattered man who must decide when to pull the plug on her wife of 35 years, who is now in a vegetative state, billing on expensive life support machines.

Internationally, two highly acclaimed web series are renewed for the third time. The Legend of Vox Machina takes us to the fantasy world of Exandria — from the popular game Dungeons & Dragons — and Heartstopper gives us more of the heartwarming love story of two teenage boys.

Next is the big news for anime lovers: Netflix is releasing a brand new adaptation of the Japanese manga Ranma ½. The series follows a young martial artist who turns into a girl with a splash of cold water and needs a splash of hot water to get back to normalcy.
