Netflix has revealed an exclusive line-up of 17 original stories, including six new films and two new web series. From romantic comedies to thrillers to masala entertainers, the streaming giant has come up with a diverse collection of different genres that will keep binge-watchers entertained during this quarantine season.

As the coronavirus outbreak continues to outgrow, we have no clue when the conventional theatre release will be possible for Indian cinema. Considering this, filmmakers are eyeing OTT platforms, and in last few months, we have seen streaming portals purchasing mega budget films.

As quarantine period and work from home continues, we have a lot of time in hand to binge watch. And Netflix India’s announcement at a time like this, holds much more significance than ever before.

Monika Shergill, VP-Content, Netflix India, said: “We are excited to share our lineup of stories across formats and multiple genres. We know our members have unique tastes, moods and needs – sometimes, they want to lean back and watch a delightful comedy, and at other times, they want a pulse-pounding thriller that brings them to the edge of their seats. We are so proud to bring these diverse stories created by acclaimed and emerging storytellers and producing partners. Together with the finest stories from around the world and our rapidly growing selection of licensed titles, we want to give our members something to discover and love on Netflix every day.”
