In a remarkable testament to the diversity and quality of Indian cinema, four distinct films—Kalki 2898 AD, Indian 2, Maharaja, and Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba—have recently secured spots on Netflix's Global Top 10 (Non-English) films list. This achievement highlights not only the global appeal of Indian content but also the impressive range of genres that Indian filmmakers are offering to audiences worldwide.

Each film represents a unique facet of Indian storytelling, providing a broad spectrum of choices for viewers across different tastes and preferences on the OTT platform.

Kalki 2898 AD, which took the 2nd spot on the top 10 this week, stands out with its grand sci-fi narrative, immersing audiences in a futuristic world where technology and mythology intertwine. In contrast, up on the 6th spot, Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba weaves a captivating tale of romance and intrigue, inviting viewers into a world of passion and suspense.

On the other hand, Maharaja, which continues its 7th week on the Global top 10 (Non-English) list, taking the 8th spot this week, explores themes of revenge, empathy, and how violence can create a cycle of pain. The film's emotional weight resonates with audiences, making his portrayal both relatable and impactful.

Lastly, Indian 2, featuring on the 9th spot, delivers a blend of action and drama, continuing the legacy of its predecessor with a gripping storyline that explores themes of corruption and justice.

Film critic and trade expert Joginder Tuteja said: "Nearly half of Netflix's Global Top 10 Films list being dominated by Indian films highlights the growing global appeal of our cinema. This trend reflects the impact of streamers like Netflix in bringing authentic Indian stories to international audiences. The diverse genres of these films speak volumes about the range of high-quality content we are producing, which is resonating deeply with audiences worldwide."
