Mouni Roy’s Yasmin will have to take a significant decision regarding her pregnancy.

Pill - JioCinema

In Pill, Riteish Deshmukh plays Dr Prakash, a determined medical professional who delves into the murky waters of the Indian pharmaceutical industry. Prakash and three whistle-blowers confront a pharmaceutical giant, Forever Cure, exposing the corrupt nexus involving pharma companies, middlemen and doctors. It’s the common man who’s bearing the brunt, and as they dig deeper, they face formidable challenges.

Kakuda - Zee 5

Set in Rathodi, Uttar Pradesh, Aditya Sarpotdar comes with another horror comedy after Munjya.

Sonakshi Sinha’s Indira is a resolute woman of science who finds herself in this chaos after marrying Saqib Saleem’s Sunny. Riteish Deshmukh’s Victor, a ghost hunter, adds a layer of humour to the chilling occurrences.
