There is no denying that most of the Netflix India flicks have failed to live up to the expectations despite possessing compelling premises. The popular streaming service must be looking to get rid of this curse and start bestowing outstanding movies to its viewers as soon as possible. Here are the top 5 upcoming films that may aid the OTT platform in this cause.
5/5 – Jaadugar
Release Date: July 15
Panchayat fame Jitendra Kumar will surely be looking to expand his roots in the Hindi film industry with the help of Jaadugar. The plot revolves around a small-time magician, Meenu, who has no other alternative than to bag a football trophy to marry his love. But things get twisty because of his lack of athletic skills. We can throw his weak football team into this mess as well.
4/5 – The Archies
Release Date: 2022
This movie has not even come out, yet it is on the verge of becoming one of the most hated movies in the history of Bollywood. People have brutally trolled its cast studded with star kids like Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor, Mihir Ahuja, Agastya Nanda, and many more since the arrival of its teaser. Call it a perfect platform to launch these star kids in Bollywood or another upcoming Zoya Akhtar masterpiece, but it may bring a record viewership for Netflix India.
3/5 – Chakda Xpress
Release Date: TBA
The forthcoming Jhulan Goswami biopic has Anushka Sharma as its protagonist. This Netflix project will show the glorious journey of one of the most amazing female fast bowlers the world of cricket has ever seen. The Bollywood actress has resumed filming movies after taking a nearly three-year gap due to the COVID-19 pandemic and her maternity break. Prosit Roy is at the helm for this one. He is prominent for his directional work in Pari and Paatal Lok.
2/5 – Monica, O My Darling
Release Date: 2022
This intriguing blend of comic and caper crime genres will hit the streaming service later this year. The film focuses on a man who wants to pull off a perfect murder with the help of some unexpected allies. It stars Rajkummar Rao, Huma Qureshi, Radhika Apte, Sikandar Kher, and Radhika Madan. Vasan Bala has handled the direction. On the other hand, the duo of Sarita Patil and Sanjay Routray has served as the producers under the banner of Matchbox Shots.
