5 movies on OTT that will leave you feeling charged for the week ahead:

1. Bala

Bala is a light-hearted comedy movie that is sure to make you laugh even when you have a bad day at work. The 2019 film, helmed by Amar Kaushik and produced by Dinesh Vijan, narrates the story of a man who loses his confidence and self-esteem as he starts shedding his hair. Led by Ayushmann Khurrana, the commercially hit film also stars Bhumi Pednekar and Yami Gautam.


2. Swades

Ashutosh Gowariker created this social drama to highlight the plight of Indian villages and how a man returns home to bring electricity to his native place. Even though Swades didn’t succeed in making a huge impact upon its release in 2004, over time, it has become a cult classic. With Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role, the movie also stars Gayatri Joshi, Kishori Ballal, Daya Shankar Pandey, Rajesh Vivek, and Lekh Tandon.
