Netflix Has a New Global Hit on Its Hands

Tapsee Pannu has become an undisputed face for Bollywood on Netflix. She has starred in around 40 titles, and of that total career filmography, about 12 of her major titles have been hosted on Netflix globally or regionally over the years. This includes her direct-to-OTT Netflix Originals like Haseen Dillruba, Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba, Looop Lapeta, and her latest action thriller that has now raked in 9.6 million views on Netflix within its first two weeks.

Her latest film is helmed by Devashish Makhija and comes from Kanika Dhillo, who has also produced it. The cast, in addition to Pannu, is rounded out with Ishwak Singh, Chhaya Kadam, Swastika Mukherjee, and Mita Vashisht. The premise follows Bani (Taapsee Pannu), a mother who temporarily loses her eyesight during a violent struggle while her five-year-old daughter, Mishty, is abducted at a busy railway station in the fictional town of Joypurra.

The film's title is Gandhari, and after being released on September 3, 2026, it has collectively been watched for 18.7 million hours. And that puts this film as the #1 Non-English title for Netflix globally, as per its September 7 to September 13 chart. While the viewership seems to be compounding still, over at Rotten Tomatoes, Gandhari hasn't been able to sit well with critics. Gandhari only has a critics' score of only 25% at the time of writing.

What Other Non-English Titles Are Trending on Netflix

In addition to Gandhari, there are about 5 more titles hailing from India trending on the same chart. During the same period, there sits The Secret Woman at #2, which has been in the Top 10 for 3 weeks (one week more than Gandhari). Then there's Vishwanath & Sons at #3 with around 5.5 million views.

Then against a roughly 2 million views jump, at #4 there's Facing El Chapo, Dhamaal 4 on #5, GDN on #6, Call My Agent! The Movie on #7, Go Team! on #8, Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh-starrer Alpha on #9, and finally Korean Kanakaraju at #10.
