1. Taskaree: The Smuggler’s Web

Debuting at #1 on ‘Netflix’s global top 10 Non- English TV list,’ Neeraj Panday’s Taskaree pulls you straight into the high- stakes world of airport customs where every suitcase is a potential bust and every terminal is a perilous game of cat and mouse. Packed with razor-sharp surveillance, relentless tactical mind games, and the raw thrill of an off-the-books hunt led by relentless Arjun Meena (Emraan Hashmi), the series turns everyday transit hubs into a gripping arena of power, contraband, and justice.

2. Kohrra: Season 2

After sweeping awards and winning global acclaim for its masterclass in realistic noir storytelling, Kohrra season 2 takes us back into the murky shadows of rural Punjab. What begins as a local murder investigation led by Amarpal Garundi (Barun Sobti) and his tough superior officer, SI Dhanwant Kaur (Mona Singh), slowly transforms into a razor-sharp autopsy of human flaw. Through bleak mustard fields and heavy silences, the series turns a small-town whodunnit into a deeply unsettling mirror of society.

3. Maamla Legal Hai: Season 2

ORDER. ORDER. Priya darkshak…legal chaos of Patparganj court returns with a twist: street-smart “jugaadu” lawyer VD Tyagi (Ravi Kishan) is now a Principal District Judge. Expect total courtroom anarchy as Tyagi attempts to enforce “order in the court.” Also bringing, straight from Harvard, eccentric Naina Arora (Kusha Kapila), as she clashes with as she clashes with the quick-fix instincts of seasoned local lawyers, quirky litigants, and a court system where textbook law plays second fiddle to pure desi jugaad.

4. Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa

Binge the full kaleshi season now! Ekta Kapoor’s high-pressure, jail-themed reality show pushes 16 celebrity “inmates” to their absolute limits- testing how far they’ll trade secrets and dignity just to secure food, beds, or immunity. From sweetly strategic Shivangi Joshi and the masterfully manipulative Ram Kapoor, to unfiltered instigator Shreya Kalra keeping the tension at a permanent boiling point, nobody came here to play nice. With shocking dhokha at every elimination, bitter groupism and broken bonds are the only guarantee in this lockup. Have you heard of the winner yet?

5. Musafir Cafe

Misty peaks, spoken silences, and a love that redefined every plan. Musafir Cafe offers a soulful escape into a world where modern ambition collides with unforgettable heartaches. It’s a serene, poetry-in-motion experience that explores whether first love ever truly leaves us, or if it simply sits quietly in the background, shaping who we are. Anchored by the quiet chemistry and grounded performances of Vikrant Massey, Vedika Pinto, and Mahima Makwana, this ensemble turns a simple mountain stopover into a deeply moving journey of the heart.

6. Operation Safed Sagar

The series soared into the Top 10 across 40 countries on ‘Netflix’s Global Top 10 Non-English TV list.’ Co-written by former Air Force officer Kushal Srivastava, this high-flying drama drops you straight into the cockpit of the IAF’s legendary ‘Golden Arrows’ squadron during the 1999 Kargil War. Grounded in authentic aviation strategy and sharp geopolitical tension, it delivers a thrilling blend of high-altitude action, tight-knit camaraderie, and nerve-wracking military intrigue.

7. The Great Indian Kapil Show

Kaps Cafe (Kapil Sharma and gang) continues to bring non-stop entertainment with an extraordinary lineup of guests. Expect everything from unfiltered banter with internet icons Samay Raina and Ranveer Allahbadia to global superstar Priyanka Chopra, a dose of 90s nostalgia with Madhuri Dixit and Jackie Shroff, beloved sports legends like Yuvraj Singh, Virender Sehwag, the Indian Women’s Cricket Team, and more!
