The last month of the year is here. While there is merriment and joy in the air (thank you, Christmas), there’s also a tinge of emptiness that tends to come with the ending of a year. In other words, feelings are running high, and what better way to cope with them than by channelling them into a favourite pastime: media consumption? For all those who resonate with this idea, here are some new and upcoming OTT releases this December that will keep you occupied from this week till 2025:
