Race 

Ranvir (Saif Ali Khan) is a successful horse breeder with a history of breeding and training winning race horses in South Africa. Rajiv (Akshaye Khanna), Ranvir's brother, is also in the racing world, but he is less cutthroat in his job and, as a result, has not produced the same number of winning ponies. However, Rajiv shows his prickly side when he steals Ranvir's girlfriend, Sonia (Bipasha Basu), and hatches a nefarious plot to take over his sibling's thriving business as well. Race is available to stream on Apple TV

Deewar 

Directed by the late Yash Chopra, Deewar takes viewers through the story of Vijay who struggles as a dockworker and eventually becomes a leading figure of the underworld, while his brother Ravi emerges to be an educated, uprighted policeman. This divide causes problems in their relationships. Deewar features Amitabh Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor in key roles and can be watched on Zee5
