From Irrfan Khan's 'Angrezi Medium' to Nani-Mrunal Thakur's 'Hi Nanna' on Netflix- What to watch on OTT this Father's Day
Whether it's the emotional volatility in Gulmohar, or the raw desperation of Bloody Daddy, fatherhood today is no longer cast in stone, it's sculpted in real time read more Once relegated to the edges of storytelling, stern, stoic, symbolic the Indian father is stepping into the emotional foreground. Thanks to the rise of long-form storytelling on OTT platforms, we're seeing men shed their armour, not in grand gestures, but in moments of quiet vulnerability. Whether it's the emotional volatility in Gulmohar, or the raw desperation of Bloody Daddy, fatherhood today is no longer cast in stone, it's sculpted in real time. These aren't caricatures of masculinity; they're characters learning to parent as they unlearn the past. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD From Irrfan Khan's 'Angrezi Medium' to Nani-Mrunal Thakur's 'Hi Nanna' on Netflix, here's what to watch on OTT this Father's Day: Angrezi Medium This was a spiritual sequel to the 2017 hit Hindi Medium that chronicled a funny yet fragile dynamic between a father and his daughter, played by Irrfan Khan and Radhika Madan. Their relationship goes through a lot of amusing and aching ups and downs before they are reunited forever. Gullak In Gullak on SonyLIV, the father figure is neither hero nor tyrant. He exists in the quotidian rhythms of middle-class life: torn between EMI pressures, adolescent children, and silent sacrifices. The Family Man And The Family Man on Prime Video pushes the trope even further, featuring a sensational performance by Manoj Bajpayee, centring on a national security officer whose biggest blind spot isn't geopolitics, but parenting. These portrayals ground fatherhood in realism: flawed, humorous, fallible, but deeply resonant. Bloody Daddy Shahid Kapoor in this film, appropriately bruised and exhausted, is a single father who's not what he seems to be. At first, he seems to be channelling his inner Sunny from Farzi, biting more than he can chew but also having his cake and eating it too. When he tells that watchman he's from Narcotics Bureau, I thought he was bluffing, but no, he indeed is. He's a bloody daddy because his son has been kidnapped and he's angry, very very angry. And his son, his estranged wife think he's barely good for anything, and indirectly through their tense conversations, they may have exploded in their head- Bloody Daddy. Hi Nanna Nani and Mrunal Thakur's film is now streaming on Netflix. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD A doting father and his 6-year-old daughter find their lives taking a dramatic turn when the woman he loves marries someone else. The film has all the emotional undercurrents to keep you invested and glued with moist eyes.
