Best OTT Release in July 2023: July was noted for the most famous film rivalry: Barbie vs. Oppenheimer. While everyone was debating which was the best, OTT platforms stepped up and launched some of the greatest works of all time. OTT had its moment in July, with lighthearted comedies like Tarla, horror films like Asvins, and compelling thrillers like Kohrra. Let’s take a peek at some of the July 2023 OTT releases.
OTT Release In July 2023
Asvins
Available on Netflix
A film that appears cliched with abandoned bungalows, five buddies, and malevolent spirits is actually a delight to watch as the plot unfolds. There aren’t many jump scares, but the plot is a must-see for any horror film fan. As we watch the film, we can see Tarun Teja‘s vision of making a psychological horror film. All of this, combined with Vasanth Ravi’s passionate performance, makes this Telegu Tamil language film one of the best July releases.
Maamannan
Available on Netflix
This Tamil sociopolitical drama film has previously received positive reviews in theaters and is now available on Netflix. As one would anticipate from a Mari Selvaraj film, we see persecution in its most heinous form against the vulnerable, a good love aspect, and an inhuman villain against a courageous heart hero. The struggle for dominance is depicted in the film’s latter half. Overall, it is a film for everyone.

Kohrra
Available on Netflix
Kohrra is one of the most highly recommended Netflix series. This murder mystery has generated a lot of talk thanks to its compelling writing and outstanding acting. The plot revolves around an NRI who is murdered just before his wedding, and the inquiry reveals a tale of broken families, a web of deceit, and many secrets. This should undoubtedly be on your list of binge-watching options.
Thandatti
Available on Amazon Prime
This Tamil language film aims to be lighthearted most of the time and succeeds in producing some amusing moments. Ram Sangaiya, a newbie film writer, did an excellent job at introducing the viewers to his world. If you enjoy a good mystery with a sense of humour, this is the film for you.
College Romance Season 4
Available on Sony LIV
The most anticipated series eventually delivered its last season, which was emotional and answered many concerns raised by prior seasons. You can imagine the high voltage drama this season featured, given that the trailer announced the return of a titular character, Trippy. This season, we bid farewell to our most cherished characters while maintaining the same eccentricity, fun, romance, and friendships. Needless to say, this is one of the best OTT releases this month.
Sweet Magnolias Season 3
Available on Netflix
Because of the previous season’s cliffhanger, this 10-episode series was on everyone’s wishlist. This season was a delightful surprise because it goes on to explain the events of season 2. Viewers thought this season to be an emotional roller coaster with a satisfying conclusion. If you haven’t seen the series yet, perhaps now is the time.
Outlanders Season 7
Available on Netflix
This Netflix show is in its sixth season and has remained consistently good. The plot is still intact and moving along like a beautiful Scottish sail. This season primarily wraps up the previous season’s narrative, keeping the story in loop. If you’re already a fan, you probably didn’t miss this season.
Adhura
Available on Amazon Prime
Shrenik Arora’s performance may be seen on Adhura. This kid is undoubtedly one of the finest things about the series. The plot is compelling, but the jump scares are what people expect from a horror film. The story is not rushed, and a typical horror movie fan would appreciate this series. There’s a reason why this is regarded as one of the top ott releases this month.
Babylon
Available on Amazon Prime
This 2022 film had its OTT debut this month on Amazon Prime. The fantastic cast and Damien Chazelle’s direction make this three-hour-long film worthwhile seeing. The film depicts the brutal realities of 1920s Hollywood. Both the execution and the message are pretty powerful, dealing with censorship and drawing lines between liberal and hedonistic film, where life here becomes pointless but your screen presence is now for eternity.
Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant
Available on Amazon Prime
Though not based on true events, the film is largely inspired by the lives of numerous Afghan translators who were promised visas but were left to fend for themselves following the United States’ exit from Afghanistan in 2021. The writing and performances make this a riveting viewing, and it is often regarded as Guy Ritchie’s best work to date.
Tarla
Available on Zee5
A film based on the life of Tarla Dalal, India’s most famous home cook, is a must-see. It’s simple but fun, and it makes you feel wonderful. Huma Qureshi’s portrayal as Tarla Dalal was good, but Sharib Hashmi wins for playing a devoted husband. This is the type of film you might watch with your mother.
IB71
Available on Disney Hotstar
Set against the backdrop of the 1971 Indo-Pak war, IB71 had a lot of potential, which was primarily realized by Vidyut Jammwal. Though there is a lot going on in the first half, the second half brings everything together, and the movie is worth seeing because of Jammwal’s action climax.
Ishq-e-nadaan
Available on Jio Cinema
With a cast that includes Shriya Pilgaonkar, Neena Gupta, and Lara Dutta, among others, this is a lovely anthology about three couples who are somehow related and their journey as they discover out love and life. If you are a realist who is also a romantic, this film is for you.
The Deepest Breath
Available on Netflix
This documentary on free diving, a dangerous and intense activity, looks at the world of the water through the eyes of the diver. It depicts the physical and psychological hurdles they faced during the deed. If you enjoy extreme water sports, you should watch this.
Trial Period
Available on Jio Cinema
This film is a beautiful homage to family and relationships, with a hilarious premise that begins with renting a father for 30 days. This film is a terrific watch, especially for Genelia and Manav Kaul’s performances. It begins with a lighthearted comedy and ends with a few heartbreaking passages.
Kaalkoot
Available on Jio Cinema
Strong performances and good writing can elevate a simple story to epic proportions. This is true of Kaalkoot. Kaalkoot is a very basic yet powerful story of a man who attempts to reconcile his professional and personal life as a cop in UP, starring Vijay Verma, Shweta Tripathi, Yash Sharma, and others, and written by Arunabh Kumar and Sumit Saxena. The attention to detail is excellent in this.
