​House Arrest on Netflix

Director: Samit Basu, Shashanka Ghosh, Stars: Ali Fazal, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Jim Sarbh, IMDb: 5.7/10

Description: Tired of the world, a man imposes house confinement on himself. Things take a turn when his house arrest is interrupted by visitors, particularly a beautiful journalist.

What critics say:[I]n the hands of co-directors Shashanka Ghosh (Veere Di Wedding) and novelist Samit Basu, working off a script by Basu, House Arrest eventually falls back on a rushed cliché, said Akhil Arora from Gadgets360

​Little Things 3 on Netflix

Director: Sumit Aroraa, Ruchir Arun, Stars: Dhruv Sehgal, Mithila Palkar, Abhishek Bhalerao, IMDb: 8.3/10

Description: Dhruv and Kavya, a millennial couple living in Mumbai face a new challenge. Dhruv moves to Bangalore and the distance drives them part. When Dhruv returns, several factors compel both of them to reconsider their relationship.

What critics say: It engages with everyday relatable issues in a deeply-felt way, and it's only fitting that Little Things season 3 grows with its protagonists, said Akhil Arora from Gadgets360

​Dora and the lost city of Gold

Director: James Bobin, Stars: Isabela Merced, Eugenio Derbez, Michael Peña, IMDb: 6.0/10

Description: After spending all her early childhood days in the jungle adventure, Dora now encounters challenges of the high school phase. Soon after joining the school, she gets on a quest to find the lost city of gold and save her parents.

What critics say: Those who have grown up with Dora should enjoy the reunion and a new generation will probably be just as entranced, said Sandra Hall from the Sydney Morning Herald.

​Chappie on Netflix

Director: Neill Blomkamp, Stars: Sharlto Copley, Dev Patel, Hugh Jackman, IMDb: 6.8/10

Description: In the future, criminal activities is monitored by mechanised police force. However, after a while, people start protesting against it. A police droid, Chappie is stone and reprogrammed which gave him the ability to think of its own.

What critics say: Its oddly jumbled machinery never clicks. The logic of Chappie gradually disintegrates, becoming increasingly farcical, said Jake Coyle from Associated Press.

Credits: Netflix

Unknown on Netflix

Director: Jaume Collet-Serra, Stars: Liam Neeson, Diane Kruger, January Jones, IMDb: 6.8/10

Description: Dr. Martin Harris awakens after a coma only to discover that no one including his wife recognises him and somebody else has taken his identity. Added to that, some assassins are after his life. Harris stepped up to prove his identity and discover the mystery.
