This week's digital premieres are led by some significant Bollywood titles. The horror-comedy 'Thamma', starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, made its OTT debut on December 16.

It is available for streaming on Prime Video.
Also releasing on the same day is the romantic drama 'Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat' on Netflix. Featuring Sonam Bajwa and Harshvardhan Rane, the film starts as a classic love story but takes a toxic, dramatic turn. The supporting cast includes Shaad Randhawa, Sachin Khedekar, and Ananth Narayan.
