Movies trending on Netflix India
Netflix India’s watchlist right now spans continents and languages a Steinbeck adaptation led by Florence Pugh sits alongside a Telugu rom-com about a dating app gone wrong. Here’s what’s actually pulling in viewers this month.
East of Eden: The Prestige Pick Everyone’s Talking About
East of Eden claimed the top spot in India for the week of September 28 to October 4. Florence Pugh leads this limited series, an ambitious adaptation of John Steinbeck’s classic novel.
The show didn’t just perform well on Netflix. It reportedly sparked a real “Netflix effect,” pushing sales of the original Steinbeck book back up weeks after the series dropped. Garth Davis directs, with Zoe Kazan adapting the screenplay.
Romanchakam: A Multi-Language Rom-Com Hit
Romanchakam tells a simple story with a modern twist. Sumanth Prabhas plays Anvesh, an engineering graduate in Hyderabad who builds his own dating app, only to fall for a mysterious user on his own platform.
The film released on October 1 and streams in five languages – Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi. That wide rollout likely explains why it’s been trending across multiple regional charts rather than staying confined to one audience.
Vishwanath & Sons: A Quieter Kind of Watch
Vishwanath & Sons takes a quieter more emotional approach. It follows a 42-year-old former Olympic shooter now an emotionally reserved businessman, who chooses surrogacy to become a father.
His bond with the surrogate mother reshapes his world in unexpected ways. The film has found a steady audience among viewers drawn to character-driven family stories over big spectacle.
Ohh My Dog: A Lighter Watch
Ohh My Dog rounds out the current India trending list with something gentler. It’s been showing up in the same daily charts as Romanchakam and Vishwanath & Sons lately a sign that viewers want something gentler right now not just heavy drama.
Fresh Additions
Two new Netflix Originals joined the platform this week and are already picking up attention. Mononoke The Movie: Chapter III continues the visually striking Japanese animated horror franchise, with the Medicine Seller facing a demon born from festering grudges.
Crazy Rich Incredibly Broke takes a different route entirely. A Middle Eastern drama about a wealthy family that loses everything. Early buzz suggests it’s carving out its own niche among viewers who enjoyed the original Crazy Rich Asians but want something with more bite.
Why This Mix Matters
What’s striking about this list isn’t any single title, it’s the range. A literary adaptation, a Telugu tech-world rom-com, a quiet family drama and an anime horror sequel are all pulling serious viewership in the same country, often the same week.
That spread says something real about how Indian audiences watch Netflix now. They don’t stick to one genre or one language, they move freely between all of them depending on mood.
