What to watch this week: ’Black Warrant’, ‘Asura’ and more
A series about life in the Tihar jail, the master of the Japanese family drama returns, and other titles to watch
Black Warrant
Vikramaditya Motwane and Satyanshu Singh’s series is about a new jailer in Tihar in the 1980s. Starring Zahan Kapoor, Rahul Bhat, Anurag Thakur and Paramvir Cheema, based on the non-fiction book Black Warrant: Confessions of a Tihar Jailer by Sunetra Choudhury and Sunil Gupta. (Netflix)
Den of Thieves 2: Pantera
This film picks up where Den of Thieves (2018) left off, with Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department detective Nick O’Brien (Gerard Butler) on the trail of Donnie Wilson (O’Shea Jackson Jr.), who’s revealed as the mastermind of the earlier robbery, and is now planning a heist in Europe. This action thriller is written and directed by Christian Gudegast, and is inspired by the 2003 Antwerp diamond heist. With the always enjoyable Butler headlining, it should be a raucous good time.
