What to watch on OTT this weekend (June 8-14)

Call Her Alex tries to bottle the chaos, charisma, and controversy of Alex Cooper, host of the wildly popular Call Her Daddy podcast. The two-part Hulu doc starts strong, diving into Cooper’s past with personal footage, raw interviews, and a bombshell allegation against her former coach that shaped her trajectory. But after that powerful first half, the docu veers into well-worn influencer-doc territory—fandom montages, behind-the-scenes prep, and the usual “how it all began” beats. It’s not bad, just... familiar. If you’re already a fan, you’ll probably eat it up. But ironically, Call Her Daddy the podcast might be the juicier option.

A four-part documentary directed by Ayesha Sood and produced by Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti, In Transit follows the journeys of nine trans and non-binary individuals—from a clinical psychologist in Mumbai to a classical musician in Bengaluru—as they navigate love, identity, and challenges across the transgender spectrum.

Alappuzha Gymkhana throws a bunch of 12th-grade flunkies into the boxing ring, not for glory, but for college admission via sports quota—because why not? What follows is a charmingly chaotic ride packed with bromance, breakups, and body blows. Think Chhichhore meets Creed, if Creed took snack breaks and danced to Baby Jean’s beats. Naslen shines, the gang delivers, and the film ducks melodrama in favour of good-natured laughs and a whole lot of heart.

In Subham, an awkward love story in a coastal town takes a sharp, spooky turn when women begin getting possessed after watching a dramatic TV soap. Set in the early 2000s, when cable TV ruled and gender norms went unquestioned, the film blends horror, humour, and social commentary with effortless ease. Clueless men scramble to decode the chaos, but the real surprise is how cleverly Subham delivers its message: equality is scarier than ghosts for some. It’s equal parts nostalgic, hilarious, and surprisingly insightful—with a side of supernatural absurdity and zero melodrama.

Deep Cover is a playful undercover caper where three improv actors, played by Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom, and Nick Mohammed, get accidentally pulled into the world of real crime by a grumpy detective. With zero actual training and a lot of imagination, they bumble their way through London’s underworld, trying to stay in character—and stay alive. It’s part heist, part improv chaos, with plenty of goofy moments along the way. Not exactly groundbreaking, but if you’re looking to kill time and maybe have a few laughs, it’s a decent pick.

The Traitors is gloriously unhinged brainrot. Karan Johar plays puppet master in a giant Rajasthani palace while 20 celebs and influencers (including Uorfi Javed, Raj Kundra, Raftaar, and Maheep Kapoor) pretend they’re in a murder mystery dinner party with a prize pot. Some are secretly ‘Traitors’, the rest are clueless ‘Faithfuls’, and everyone is suspicious, dramatic, and overdressed. There are missions, backstabbing, and so much squinting over bonfires. If you’ve ever wanted to watch influencers lie, cry, and get fake-murdered in royal surroundings, this show is your fever dream come true.
