2025 wasn’t just a year of great content — it was peak Netflix India energy. From high-stakes heists and prison diaries to messy love stories, supernatural thrillers and royal chaos, Netflix had something for every mood (and every group chat). Here’s a rewind to the titles that ruled our watchlists this year 👑🍿
- Black Warrant
Black Warrant brought us Zahaan Kapoor in a breakthrough role that had everyone talking. A taut thriller that blurred the line between duty and danger. It took us inside the walls of Tihar Jail, recreating the dark, dangerous world of India’s most infamous prison with chilling authenticity. Black Warrant was less about bars and walls, and more about the people trapped behind them. - The Royals
Power, privilege, and picture-perfect scandals. The Royals gave us India’s most glamorous family with problems big enough to fill a palace. Think high fashion, high drama, and high tea with secrets. 👑 Set in the glimmering world of luxury and legacy, the show turned gossip into gold and politics into poetry. - The Roshans
The reality series we didn’t know we needed, The Roshans opens a rare, intimate window into one of Hindi cinema’s most enduring legacies. From the music that has defined generations to the films that shaped superstardom, the series traces the journey of a family that has quietly built Bollywood history. Between candid conversations, behind-the-scenes moments, and unfiltered family banter, it captures the heart behind the heritage. Warm, witty, and deeply personal, the show reminds us that behind iconic names and timeless melodies are shared meals, everyday rituals, and genuine bonds. A comforting, nostalgic watch rooted in legacy, powered by music, and lit with unmistakable star presence. - Khakee: The Bengal Chapter
From Bihar to Bengal, the Khakee universe expanded east with another gritty cop saga packed with heart, history, and heroics. A salute to the men and women in uniform, this one kept us glued to the screen (and our hearts racing). The series took us through the murky lanes of crime and conscience, blending politics, emotion, and pure adrenaline. Once again, Neeraj Pandey proved why he’s the master of the Indian cop-verse. - Dabba Cartel
Five housewives. One secret. A criminal empire hiding in plain sight. Dabba Cartel served up delicious twists hotter than the parathas they packed, proving crime can be a dish best served from the tiffin box. 🍱💣The show peeled back another layer of deceit and sisterhood, showing us what happens when women stop playing by the rules. It was stylish, sassy, and spiced with just the right amount of chaos. - Saare Jahan Se Accha
A fictional action thriller with a patriotic pulse — Saare Jahan Se Accha followed a resilient Indian spy in a deadly game of intelligence and intrigue. His mission? To outwit his counterpart across the border and sabotage a nuclear program before it’s too late. 🕵️♂️💥 - The Jewel Thief
Slick. Stylish. Smart. The Jewel Thief was Netflix India’s first big-ticket action-heist blockbuster — featuring Saif Ali Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat, and some serious globe-trotting glam. Think Mission Impossible, but make it Indian and cooler. 💎Packed with humor, heart, and high-octane set pieces, it was a cinematic joyride that kept viewers guessing till the last twist. - Aap Jaisa Koi
A reserved Sanskrit professor meets a spirited French instructor, and sparks fly in this heartwarming romantic comedy. Aap Jaisa Koi starred R. Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh in roles tailor-made for opposites attract. 💕 Gentle, witty, and bursting with chemistry, it explored love, language, and life’s second chances. A modern-day ode to connection that reminded us sometimes, love speaks a language all its own. - Inspector Zende
He caught India’s most notorious serial killer once, now he must do it again. The show mixed cat-and-mouse thrills with the grit of old-school policing, diving deep into the psyche of both hunter and hunted. Intense, atmospheric, and deeply satisfying. Inspector Zende was a crime drama done right. - Dhoom Dhaam
Yami Gautam and Pratik Gandhi running through chaos in their wedding outfits — for an entire film. That’s the tweet. A madcap comedy of errors that made us laugh, chase, and cheer all at once. 💍🏃♀️🏃♂️ Every twist got funnier, every misunderstanding bigger, and by the end, we were all rooting for love (and breathlessly keeping up). Dhoom Dhaam proved that the wildest journeys sometimes start right after “I do.” - Baramulla
When Netflix dropped Baramulla, the internet couldn’t stop talking about the film. A genre-bending supernatural thriller set against the haunting beauty of Kashmir, it blended mystery, politics, and the paranormal in ways Indian cinema rarely dares to. 🌌 Directed by Aditya Jambhale, the film followed an investigation that spirals into something far darker and otherworldly. Equal parts emotional and eerie, Baramulla was the kind of cinematic experience that lingered long after the credits rolled. - The Ba***ds of Bollywood
Aryan Khan’s directorial debut is bold, biting, and brilliantly meta. A dark satire that peeled back the glitter of showbiz to show us the grime underneath. Love it or fear it, this one owned the discourse. 🎬🔥The series fearlessly dissected fame, fandom, and the price of ambition in an industry obsessed with image. Controversial, clever, and conversation-starting, it was a defining pop-culture moment of 2025.
And that’s a wrap on 2025!
From love stories to loot plots, scandals to space dreams, Netflix India gave us a lineup that was as unpredictable as it was unforgettable. Here’s to more drama, twists, and midnight “just one more episode” in 2026. 🍿❤️
