For
the
first
weekend
of
2021
(January
1-3),
the
Indian
streaming
platforms
have
very
little
to
offer.
However,
unlike
traditional
crime
thriller
and
drama
releases
seen
in
the
past
few
weeks,
this
time
around
we
have
more
reality
and
variety
shows
dropping
in
on
Netflix
and
Amazon
Prime
Video.
Some
of
the
releases
worth
checking
out
in
the
new
category
are
Best
Leftovers,
Dream
Homemakers,
The
Minimalists:
Less
Is
Now
and
Headspace
Guide
to
Meditation.
On
the
other
hand,
ZEE5
ended
2020
with
a
bang,
as
the
awaited
fantasy
show
Paurashpur
premiered
on
December
29
and
SonyLIV
will
be
welcoming
2021
with
The
Spanish
Princess
which
drops
on
January
1.
