We have got the final episodes of “Doctor On The Edge” this week, where Jiui is suffering from PTSD and Hari is trying her best to comfort him. As we all know, Jiui's career has taken a big hit after someone leaked his medication details to the media and Governor Changmok leveraged it to blame him for misdiagnosing a patient. Jiui is visibly devastated and Hari is trying her best to console him but none of her methods seem to work. He is one of the finest Public Healthcare doctors and this crisis has left him broken from inside. Changmok has issued a transfer order for Jiui as well, leaving Hari heartbroken as she did not expect to stay away from her newfound love this soon. This whole incident has also sent the people of Pyeondongdo in a spiral since they cannot pinpoint who submitted Jiui's reports – everyone thinks that it's Byeongcheol and just when fisherman Park is about to fight him, Hwayeng arrives, revealing that it was her all along.

Directed by Siddharth P. Malhotra, “Ikka” tells the story of a lawyer who intentionally gives up on his morals and bends the laws to save his family. However, as days go by, his conscience finally awakens, encouraging him to strike back and take down his former enemy. In this article, I have provided you a closer look at the actors associated with this intense legal drama and the characters they are playing.

It isn't a mystery that Cinema is indeed a powerful medium that not only brings forward the important social issues in front of the viewers but also motivates its audience to make amends, and Singeetam Srinivasa Rao's “Sing Geetham” does exactly that by delivering a sharp critique on industrialization masked in pure comedy. For a very long time, Indian farmers have been victims of systematic exploitation, either oppressed by their own government or evil corporations, who force them to sell off their lands to settle debts. In “Sing Geetham,” this exploitation begins when an industrialist named Uday discovers a mine by digging through fertile agricultural land alongside his partner, Brahmayya. Years after Uday's death, his son Prathap, a former convict, learns about his father's property and arrives in the distant village to claim it. He finds the situation tough because the whole plot is already usurped by mining industrialist Brahmayya's daughter Renu, who wants to sell the mine to this businessman, Mr. Swahili. After Prathap proves his identity, Renu reveals that she cannot sell the mine because Mr. Swahili only wants gold and the only thing that's stopping her from digging further is a tree, standing in the middle of nowhere. Prathap suggests removing the tree even though a villager named Gauri has made it her literal home.

Director Buchi Babu Sana's “Peddi” shows us how difficult it is to live in a village that has no official identity on the map, while the rest of the world considers the villagers untouchables. Our protagonist, Peddi is one such villager, who works day and night at the factory to get by. The director has confirmed that this character is loosely based on a wage labourer named Peddi Raju, a talented guy who played cricket and basketball to earn money. In “Peddi,” we see the protagonist as an underpaid labor whose main source of income lies in the village cricket tournaments, where his legendary performance helps other teams win matches. Since Peddi only plays for the highest bidder, two upper caste men, Rambujji and Veer, fight for him. As days go by and Peddi's fellow villagers set out to travel, they find themselves in a tough spot since no train is ready to stop in this unnamed village of Andhra Pradesh.

Director Jeethu Joseph's “Drishyam 3” picks up four years after the events of the second film, where Georgekutty escaped prison by outsmarting IG Thomas Bastin. He wrote a story that ran similar to how he hid Varun's remains and accused the police of planting evidence themselves and using his plot to frame him. Props must be given to Georgekutty because through all these years, he is still sleeping peacefully and I am now worried about his character getting caught in the next sequel. Anyway, let's dive into the plot first before I dissect the film for you. In “Drishyam 3,” Georgekutty doesn't just own a theatre, but he is a successful producer of “Drishyam,” the movie that follows a similar story to Varun's case. While Georgekutty enjoys his movie's success, distribution offers come pouring in and the film's premiere turns out to be a success. Georgekutty strangely encounters two reporters, Rony and Yami, who somehow manage to breach the security and step inside to question them about Varun's murder case. It causes Anju – who's under psychologist Ranjini's observation – to get flashbacks of her traumatic past.

Directed by Go Hye-jin, “Reborn Rookie” follows businessman Kang and footballer Hwang, who are confused because their souls are swapped after a freak accident. While Kang navigates the challenges of living in a younger body, his children Jae-seong and Jae-gyeong mount a ruthless campaign to seize control of his company Choiseong even at the cost of their father's life.

Directed by Jade Castro, “Rekonek” follows the aftermath of a massive solar flare that shuts down all sorts of digital communication. It happens just before Christmas, and the Filipino film highlights the desperate measures people take to reunite with their families. Cora's daughter Peks loses it when she cannot facetime her online boyfriend and all her messages can no longer be sent. Bridgett and Jordan become afraid because if they fail to upload videos on the family vlog channel, they will and subsequently, lose their livelihood. Cora's daughter Trisha is stranded in a foreign airport and she is scared because all flights to Manila have been cancelled. In the meantime, she notices that a girl named Gigi is following everywhere she goes in search of an alternate transport.

Director Singeetham Srinivasa Rao's “Sing Geetham” follows the story of a former convict who falls in the trap of greed once he discovers his father's mining property in a distant village. With time, he slowly realizes the true value of agriculture over rapid industrialization and teams up with fellow villagers to wage a war against capitalism. In this article, you can see all the actors who are in the Netflix movie and the characters they are playing.

Directed by Jo Yong-won, Netflix's “The Apartment Job” tells the story of loan shark Park Hae-gang, who owns an investment firm and often gives out loans under its wing “HK Investments.” He always manages to recover interests from his clients no matter where they run and hide. Despite running a company, his primary revenue comes from the secret casino below his office building, operated by the Oasis gang. Years ago, Yong-man – who is now a retired CEO – led the gang and took Hae-gang under his wing. While Hae-gang runs the casino to make more money, he is unaware that the apartment complex near the office has billions sitting in its reserve fund.

The second episode of Netflix's “The Apartment Job” picks up right after professional scammer Lizard reveals his way of siphoning money from the long-term reserve funds. When Hae-gang listens to him, he gets infuriated because he feels that Lizard is exaggerating. Since Hae-gang wants the absolute truth, his secretary Big Guy pushes Lizard to the edge of the roof and threatens to drop him until he begs for forgiveness. It turns out that throughout the years, Lizard has stolen money from the residents. However, Hae-gang considers saving his life because that man can lead him to the ten-billion that Ju-gwon demands to let Yong-man walk free. However, there are a few problems because not all residents are ready to put faith in a complete stranger in handling their reserve fund account.
