The long weekend is here, and so are our recommendations for the top OTT releases this week. On the home front, we have one major release in the form of JioCinema's Shekhar Home. In this, we will see a detective duo taking some of the most intriguing cases of the Bengal of the 1990s. Another one, in line with the week's patriotic fervour, is Amazon miniTV's Naam Namak Nishan, where we are taken to Chennai's military training institute where young cadets learn the various facets of being a soldier. The remaining episodes of SonyLiv's Chamak are also out, where we explore more of the Punjab music industry's dark underbelly. Amitabh Bachchan will again take on the role of a quizzer, who'll check candidates' general knowledge and wits for lucrative cash prizes.

Globally, the first part of Netflix's Emily in Paris Season 4 is the biggest release, in which we see the stylish marketing professional caught in the web of romantic dilemmas and professional hurdles. Next in line is the third season of HBO's high-octane finance drama, Industry, where we meet and come to terms with more twisted secrets of the industry.
