In the days leading up to Diwali, this week's streaming slate is occupied by releases across three languages — a Diwali-set family film, a suspense thriller, a Tamil romantic drama, and a limited series on the life of Muhammad Ali.
From a festive family drama to a boxing biopic, here’s what to watch on streaming this week:
