The Tamil original series ‘Exam’ was announced during a recent Amazon Prime Video slate event. This high-stakes socio-thriller explores the dark underbelly of India’s competitive testing system, highlighting the intense pressure faced by millions of students.

Produced by Pushkar and Gayathri under Wallwatcher Films, the series continues their run of grounded, gritty storytelling after Vikram Vedha and Suzhal. It has now locked its streaming date. Amazon Prime Video confirmed that Exam will premiere on May 15, 2026, with seven episodes. It will stream simultaneously in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam.

The story follows a determined young woman with a mysterious past who infiltrates the world of the Regional Public Service Exam scam to expose a paper-leak network exploiting students.

Written and directed by National Award-winner A. Sarkunam, the series stars Dushara Vijayan, Aditi Balan, and Abbas, with supporting roles by Vasundhara Kashyap and Naren Mani.

Raakaasaa

Raakaasa is one of the notable Telugu films released in April 2026. After receiving a decent response during its theatrical run, the horror comedy is now set for its digital debut on Netflix. The streaming giant recently confirmed via social media that the film will be available for streaming from May 1, 2026.

While Netflix confirmed multilingual releases in Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, the absence of a Hindi version has raised questions. Most films today are released in all major languages to maximise reach. Despite its clear potential among Hindi-speaking audiences, Raakaasa has not been included in Netflix’s Hindi lineup, likely due to pre-existing agreements made before its theatrical release.

There is a strong possibility that the Hindi version may stream on ZEE5, given that Z Studios co-produced the film. If a ZEE5 release does not materialise, audiences will have to wait for an official update from the makers regarding the Hindi OTT rights.

Produced by Niharika Konidela, the film marks the feature directorial debut of Manasa Sharma and features music by Anudeep Dev. The film boasts an ensemble cast including Sangeeth Sobhan, Nayan Sarika, Vennela Kishore, Getup Srinu, Brahmaji, and Tanikella Bharani.
