COMING UP: 8 February Releases

There's a lot of action on the OTT front as well as in theatres.

Joginder Tuteja brings you the big releases, coming up in February.

 

Lahore Confidential
Where to watch: ZEE5
Release date: February 4

Lahore Confidential is the second in the Confidential series from ZEE5.

The first -- London Confidential -- was shot entirely during the pandemic and featured Mouni Roy in the lead.

This time, the central protagonist is played by Richa Chadha.

We have been seeing quite a bit of the actress, thanks to the theatrical releases Shakeela and Madam Chief Minister preceding this.

 

Krack
Where to watch: Aha
Release date: February 5

Originally scheduled to release January 29, Krack's digital premiere was pushed ahead after distributors put in a request, thanks to its good run at the theatres.

Ravi Teja's Telugu action drama was the first release to do well in 2021 and given the kind of popularity that the superstar enjoys, Krack should be a superhit on OTT too.

 

LSD: Love Scandal and Doctors
Where to watch: ZEE5 and ALT Balaji
Release date: February 5

Continuing its trend of releasing a Web series every month, ZEE5 and ALT Balaji's latest offering is LSD: Love Scandal and Doctors.

Though Ekta Kapoor already has another LSD -- Love Sex Aur Dhokha -- to her credit, this one takes the action to a hospital.

Rahul Dev spearheads the suspense thriller.

 

Live Telecast
Where to watch: Disney+Hotstar
Release date: February 12

Live Telecast is a horror Web series, with Kajal Aggarwal leading the cast.

 

Crashh
Where to watch: ALT Balaji and ZEE5
Release date: February 14

It has been a while since the first Look of Crashh was unveiled.

Now, ALT Balaji and ZEE5 are set to release this ensemble affair on Valentine's Day.

With new faces leading the cast, Crashh could well be a good offering in the season of love.

Tuesdays and Fridays
Where to watch: Theatres
Release date: February 19

Tuesdays and Fridays has been produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Bhushan Kumar, and will launch Poonam Dhillon's son Anmol Thakeria Dhillon along with former Miss India Jhataleka Malhotra.

The film is a romantic entertainer.

 

The Girl On The Train
Where to watch: Netflix
Release date: February 26

If not for the pandemic, Parineeti Chopra's The Girl On The Train would have released in the first half of 2020.

Based on the bestseller by the same name, the thriller co-stars Aditi Rao Hydari and Kirti Kulhari.

Director Ribhu Dasgupta, who made the Amitabh Bachchan thriller Te3n, this film should be intriguing.

 

Aafat-e-Ishq
Where to watch: ZEE
Release date: February

Neha Sharma made her OTT debut with the Web series, Illegal.

Now, she will be seen in the film, Aafat-e-Ishq.

This one is expected to be a quirky romantic comedy with an ensemble cast of Amit Sial, Namit Das and Ila Arun.

Indrajit Nattoji, who has made the film Aagey Se Right, directs it.
