Weekend Watchlist: ‘RRR’, ‘Bridgerton’, ‘Halo The Series’, ‘Achcham Madam Naanam Payirppu’
It’s Friday once again. Don’t we all just love Fridays? As we prepare to spend our weekend indulging ourselves, if like me you don’t have anything much to do, I recommend you take the weekend to catch up on some interesting shows and binge-watch all the new releases. After that Holi party wala weekend, we all are in dire need of some time to chill, relax and unwind. I’m planning on taking a nice long warm bath and then curling up in bed with my laptop and a glass of wine and bingeing on some good content. And the word is that this weekend has a lot to offer us all. So, I took the liberty to put together a weekend watchlist of all the movies and series you can binge on either at home or maybe you can just hit the theatre to catch up on something interesting.
