Catalog OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Mohamed Farrag's emotional Arabic series
Still from Catalog | Credits: Netflix
Catalog OTT Release Date: This heartfelt Arabic series is all set to stream on July 17, only on Netflix, and this one's bound to hit close to home for many. Starring Mohamed Farrag and Riham Abdel Ghafour, the show dives deep into what it really means to lose a loved one, especially when that loved one was the glue holding the family together. What is Catalog about?
Set in modern-day Egypt, Catalog tells the story of Youssef, played by Mohamed Farrag, a man who never really had to take charge at home. That was Amina's job, his wife, the mother of his two kids, the emotional centre of their small world. But Amina, played by Riham Abdel Ghafour, is gone now. And Youssef is suddenly thrust into the role of full-time dad, cook, chauffeur, and emotional anchor. He's lost, overwhelmed, and barely holding it together.
Then something unexpected happens: he finds a series of home-recorded videos. Before her death, Amina had documented a guidebook of sorts for their children from bedtime routines to how to handle their tantrums, crushes, or just a bad day at school. These videos become Youssef's lifeline not just to survive fatherhood, but to rediscover himself, heal, and rebuild his family. Meet the cast and crew Mohamed Farrag as Youssef - the heart of the show, portraying a father's emotional journey with honesty.
Riham Abdel Ghafour as Amina - though her character dies early, her presence is felt throughout the series via her video messages.

New Delhi: Known for his witty one-liners, Salman Khan does not shy away from roasting even his friends and family members. Recently, the actor took a dig at his brother Sohail Khan's failed marriage with his ex-wife Seema Sajdeh.

The superstar shared how his home has always had an open-door policy for guests. Recalling an incident with celebrity photographer Avinash Gowariker, Salman Khan said, "He said he would stay for a few days until he found a house. A few years later, I asked him what happened to the house hunt. He said, 'I found one a few days after coming here, but I subleased it because your house has such a great vibe.'" Bringing his brother Sohail into the conversation, Salman added, " Usi dauran Sohail ne bhaag kar shadi karli. Ab woh bhi bhag gayi hain [During that time, Sohail eloped (with Seema) and now even she has run away]." Continuing the story, the actor explained that Sohail asked Avinash to empty the room to make space for him and Seema. To which, Avinash replied, "This is not fair, how can you get married like this?" Sohail and Seema eloped and got married with an Arya Samaj wedding followed by a nikkah in 1998. The couple welcomed their first son, Nirvan, in 2000 and their second son, Yohan, in 2011. They separated in 2022 after 24 years of marriage. Seema is now dating her ex-fiance, Vikram Ahuja.

Host Kapil Sharma kicked off the conversation by highlighting a humorous coincidence, both Shah Rukh Khan's wife and Aamir Khan's girlfriend are named Gauri (Gauri Khan and Gauri Spratt, respectively). Turning to Salman, he joked, 'Aapki life mein koi gori–Gauri nahi hai?' (Is there no fair–Gauri in your life?). To this, Salman replied with his signature humour, "Na gori se, na kaali se... dilwali se." (Neither fair nor dark… only someone with a beautiful heart.) Later, Archana Puran Singh brought up the age-old question fans never stop asking: "Salman, aapko kitni baar log pooch chuke hain: 'Bhaiya, aap kab shaadi karoge?'" (Salman, how many times have people asked: 'When will you get married?') Salman quipped, "Haan, poochte toh rehte hain. Par main humesha kehta hoon, meri shaadi karne se aapko kya fayda hai?" (Yes, they keep asking. But I always say—what difference does it make to you if I get married?) He continued with his hilarious take "Kya aapko maza aa raha hai? Main aapke liye suhagraat mana raha hoon? Aapko itni khushi ho rahi hai ki main barbaad ho jaun?" (Are you enjoying this? Am I celebrating my wedding night for you? You're this happy hoping I get ruined?) On a more serious note, Salman reflected on modern relationships, saying, 'The patience, the fights, the sacrifices that a husband and wife make for each other, that tolerance factor is missing now. These days, someone puts a leg over you while sleeping and it leads to a divorce.' He added, "Choti si misunderstandings par divorce ho jata hai" (Small misunderstandings lead to a divorce) He further remarked on the financial strain of divorce, joking, 'Aur phir divorce toh ho hi jaata hai, aadhe paise leke chali jaati hai." (And then divorce happens, and she walks away with half your money.) Also Read | 'Uske Bawajood Kaam Kar Rahe...'
