Hello Bachhon
Where to watch: Netflix
Release date: March 6

Vineet Kumar stars in the web series, Hello Bachhon, which takes forward the story, created by OTT shows like Kota Factory and Aspirants, and movies like Super 30 and 12th Fail. A story with education as the backdrop earns itself immediate reach due to the young Indian population and this one is set to be an inspiring one, since it is based on the journey of educator Alakh Pandey.

Saurabh Shukla directs Jab Khuli Kitaab, about an older married couple (Pankaj Kapur and Dimple Kapadia), who want a divorce, and in the process, get reunited.

Mardaani 3
Where to watch: Netflix
Release date: March 27

Mardaani 3 saw a fair opening in theatres, and went on to cross the Rs 50 crore (Rs 500 million) mark. The Mardaani franchise is a hit in the OTT space and the newest instalment by Rani Mukerji -- with Mallika Prasad stepping in as the villain -- should take it forward.

Jazz City
Where to watch: SonyLIV
Release date: March 19

Jazz City is a musical espionage period drama web series that has been created, written, and directed by Soumik Sen. Set in 1971 Calcutta against the backdrop of the Bangladesh Liberation War and intense political unrest, the series follows Jimmy, who gets drawn into a high-stakes world where his choices have severe consequences. 

Peaky Blinders - The Immortal Man
Where to watch: Netflix
Release date: March 20

The popular British series Peaky Blinders is now a movie with Cillian Murphy reprising his part of Thomas Shelby. This will find a good audience in India because even the Hollywood movie scene is going through a low phase in India.

Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain: Fun On The Run
Where to watch: ZEE5
Release date: Date TBD

Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain: Fun On The Run should have been straight-to-OTT release, considering the huge popularity of the original television show. It couldn't make a mark in the theatres but should find its audience once again on OTT.
