Picture: Netflix
Netflix closed out 2025 with a massive influx of Indian movies and series.
With nearly five dozen Indian films added to Netflix this month, there’s no complaining that “there’s nothing to watch!” The bulk of the additions are back-catalogue titles from the studio Yash Raj Films, but there are a bunch of licensed 2025 theatrical releases as well. The movie lineup also includes the Original Tamil thriller Stephen and an Original Hindi sequel to Raat Akeli Hai.
On the series front, December saw the return of The Great Indian Kapil Show and the debut of the Original comedy Single Papa (which has already been renewed). Netflix hasn’t produced any Original Telugu series yet, so they licensed a pair of Telugu shows from the Indian streaming service ETV Win.
Here are all of the Indian movies and series added to Netflix in December 2025. Be sure to check out our HUGE Indian slate preview for 2026 and beyond.
