A number of big releases this week on streaming platforms. While Bard of Blood has dropped this weekend on Netflix, coming midweek is the Ekta Kapoor produced The Verdict - State vs Nanavati on ALTBalaji and ZEE5. Emraan Hashmi turns into a spy in Bard of Blood set in Balochistan, where he is called back to help save four Indian agents taken hostage by the Taliban. Sobhita Dhulipala joins him on the mission as an analyst in India's spy set-up.
After the 1959 Indian judiciary case, KM Nanavati vs State of Maharashtra inspired the Akshay Kumar-starrer Rustom, the controversial case has now been made into a web series starring Manav Kaul, Elli Avram, Angad Bedi and Sumeet Vyas.
Here are the titles we suggest you binge watch this week.
Bard of Blood (Netflix)

Director Ribhu Dasgupta has converted the words of Bilal Siddiqi in his 2015 novel into visuals, grippingly narrated in seven episodes and brought to the streaming platform by Netflix.

He is called back to help save four Indian agents taken hostage by the Taliban in Balochistan.
This is Us S4 (Hotstar Premium)
The Pearsons are back. The fourth season premiere of This Is Us — arguably the biggest American network show at the moment — is now streaming on Hotstar in India. This Is Us season 4, episode 1 'Strangers' will jump to the 1970s to show us when Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) and Rebecca (Mandy Moore) first started dating, and the former met the latter's parents. Elsewhere, new as-yet unknown characters will be introduced in This Is Us season 4, episode 1, which is slightly longer than usual and hence arrived on Hotstar a little after its usual air time.
