“Our exciting line-up of content is across multiple genres and many formats. We are bringing heartfelt dramas, rom-coms, thrillers and more, from amazing creators and talent, both established and emerging. We announced these Indian original series and films because our audiences love the dazzling diversity and variety of our stories,” Monika Shergill, VP Content, Netflix India, said in a statement.

She added, “As a full-scale entertainment service, we want to offer an exciting slate to our members, knowing that each person’s Netflix profile is unique to their taste, mood and need. So, whether they love global titles, world cinema, Hindi films or regional Indian language titles, they will discover something they enjoy on any given night.”
