R Madhavan's Aap Jaisa Koi OTT release date out. When and where to watch romantic drama
Synopsis Aap Jaisa Koi, a forthcoming Netflix romantic drama starring R Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh, explores a unique love story. Premiering July 11, the film directed by Vivek Soni, showcases Srirenu, a Sanskrit teacher, and Madhu, a French instructor, navigating their differences. Produced by Karan Johar, the narrative emphasizes equality and mutual respect, challenging traditional romantic tropes. Aap Jaisa Koi is all set to release on OTT this week. In a world of grand romantic gestures and sweeping declarations of love, Aap Jaisa Koi offers something quieter—yet far more real. The upcoming Netflix romantic drama, starring R Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh, dives deep into the heart of relationships where love isn't always about sparks flying, but about understanding, compromise, and equality. Set to premiere on July 11, the film promises a slow-burn love story that challenges conventional ideas of compatibility and Jaisa Koi follows the story of Srirenu, a soft-spoken and traditional Sanskrit teacher, and Madhu, a spirited and independent French instructor. Their worlds couldn't be more different—but that's exactly where the story begins. As they navigate their budding romance, they are met with societal expectations and family resistance. But instead of relying on the usual romantic tropes, the film chooses to explore how two very different people can build a relationship based on mutual respect and shared emotional space. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dharmatic (@dharmaticent) The film asks a central question: What does true compatibility look like when people come from completely different backgrounds? It's not just about liking the same movies or having the same taste in food—it's about seeing eye-to-eye on values like respect, independence, and emotional by Vivek Soni, Aap Jaisa Koi is not your typical Bollywood love story. The trailer hints at gentle moments, thoughtful silences, and a quiet chemistry that slowly builds over time. The idea of 'barabari wala pyaar'—love rooted in equality—sits at the core of the narrative. It reflects the emotional journey of people learning to meet each other halfway, even when their views of life, love, and family don't always match. Madhavan brings his signature charm to the role of Srirenu, capturing the inner conflict of a man caught between tradition and personal desire. Fatima Sana Shaikh, on the other hand, plays Madhu with ease and spark, embodying a woman who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to say it out by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra under the Dharma Productions banner, the film is penned by Radhika Anand and Jehan Handa. Alongside Madhavan and Fatima, the film features performances by Sachin Kavetham and Manish Chaudhari, adding more emotional texture to the story.

'Metro In Dino' OTT release: When and Where to watch Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan's film
Anurag Basu 's much-awaited romantic drama 'Metro… In Dino' finally released in theatres on July 4, marking nearly 18 years since the release of his acclaimed 2007 film 'Life in a… Metro'. Considered a spiritual sequel, the new film explores the ups and downs of modern relationships in today's fast-moving city life. 'Metro… In Dino' boasts a star-studded cast including Aditya Roy Kapur , Sara Ali Khan , Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi , Fatima Sana Shaikh, and Ali Fazal. The film received a warm reception from audiences and won praise for its emotional storytelling, heartfelt music, and strong performances. Interestingly, Konkona Sen Sharma is the only cast member returning from the original 'Life in a… Metro'. While the film is still playing in theatres, it has already confirmed its digital streaming plans with Netflix as its OTT partner. Although the exact streaming date hasn't been announced yet, films usually release online about 45 to 60 days after hitting theatres. So, the film is likely to arrive on Netflix by late August or early September. Directed by Anurag Basu, the music of the film is composed by Pritam. An excerpt from our ETimes review for the film reads, "The treatment bears a slight resemblance to the tragicomedy tone of Barfi, with actors breaking into impromptu songs to take the story ahead. When the actors are not miming, Pritam, Papon and Raghav Chaitanya stay constant as sutradhars through their music, so expect a plethora of songs, making this a true-blue romantic musical. Interestingly, Basu doesn't tell us the names of his characters and their stories upfront. You discover them sporadically and organically. This withholding and release strategy helps in breaking clutter and adding an element of mystery to the story." Anurag Basu's Film 'Metro… In Dino' Earns Mixed Public Verdict

When does Karate Kid: Legends release on OTT? Date, time, and where to watch
Karate Kid: Legends is officially dropping on digital platforms Tuesday, July 8, confirms Decider. The film reunites Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio as Mr. Han and Daniel LaRusso, and introduces a new protagonist, Li Fong, played by Ben Wang. Directed by Jonathan Entwistle and written by Rob Lieber, the movie builds directly on the Cobra Kai universe - but with fresh twists. Though early reviews have been mixed, the film's arrival is still a major moment for fans who have followed the story since the original Karate Kid days. Jackie Chan and Ben Wang in a still from Karate Kid: Legends(X) But while it is available to buy or rent, many are already asking when it will show up on Netflix for free streaming. Where and when to watch Karate Kid: Legends online According to Decider, starting at midnight ET on July 8 (that's 9 p.m. PT on July 7), Karate Kid: Legends becomes available to rent or buy across digital platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV and Fandango At Home. Prices may vary, but on Amazon, expect to pay $19.99 to rent and $24.99 to buy. If you rent it, you will have 30 days to start the film, and once you hit play, 48 hours to finish it. When will it stream on Netflix? Right now, the movie isn't available on any major subscription-based service. But because of the ongoing Netflix-Sony deal, Karate Kid: Legends is expected to land on Netflix in the coming months. This deal gives Netflix first streaming rights to Sony movies shortly after their digital/home media release, known as the "Pay 1 window." Past Sony films like Kraven the Hunter took about three months to land on Netflix. Others arrived sooner - some in just over two months, a few after nearly four. It's been inconsistent. Since Karate Kid: Legends opened in theaters in May 2025, it's possible we'll see it on Netflix by late August or early September. That's just an estimate, though. If you're waiting for the Netflix release, your only option for now is renting or buying. Meanwhile, Cobra Kai is still streaming on Netflix. If you haven't watched it, or just want to catch up, it's a good time. This new movie brings in familiar faces but heads in a fresh direction. It's different from the earlier films, but longtime fans may enjoy the callbacks. Netflix hasn't said anything official yet, but if trends hold, it probably won't be a long wait.
