Here’s Your Binge-Watch Guide for the Weekend: Killer Soup, Lift, Tiger 3, and More
Box office hits “Tiger 3” and “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” are now available for streaming online.
With the biting cold winters lingering on our heads, binge-watching through the weekend in the warm comfort of your blanket, with a hot saucer of soup sounds like the perfect plan! To save you the hustle of scrolling through endless titles to stream, we have hand-picked a few OTT releases of the week for you.
If you are looking for that adrenaline rush, we would recommend Konkona Sen Sharma and Manoj Bajpayee’s Killer Soup. Another pick could be Comedian Kevin Hart’s money heist drama Lift, where he tries to steal millions of dollars up in the air in a commercial plane.
Reacher Season 2 has also released its 45-minute-long penultimate episode. However, if you are in the mood for some superhero drama, Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Echo could be a good choice (spoiler alert: she has different superpowers from comic books).
Salman’s Tiger 3 and Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, (both of which had a theatrical release), are also now available to stream on Amazon Prime. While at it don’t forget to check the extended version of Tom Cruise’s Dead Reckoning Part 1.
