This week’s Netflix India’s top ten films and series list is back with some interesting additions, omissions, and changes in ranks. For Netflix’s top ten films list, the top spot this week is held by Rajinikanth starrer ‘Annaatthe’ despite its not-so-encouraging reviews.

While the last week’s top ranker – Ram Madhvani’s thriller ‘Dhamaka’ starring Kartik Aaryan is down to second place this week on Netflix. On the third spot is a new entrant ‘Most Eligible Bachelor’ and the fifth place is held by the immensely popular action-comedy film ‘Red Notice’ starring Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot.
On the Netflix top-ten TV shows front, the cult South Korean show ‘Squid Game’ that is being loved by fans across the world, has been surpassed by another admired Korean show called ‘Hellbound’ consecutively for the second week.
On the third place is a new entrant this week – the comedy special show ‘Jonas Brothers Family Roast’ while ‘Narcos Mexico’, whose third and final season started streaming on Netflix from 5th November, has still retained a place on the list.
