8. Love

Starring – Tom Chacko & Rajisha Vijayan
Director – Khalid Rahman
Language – Malayalam

Love on Netflix narrates the story of a couple who have a troubled family life due to the toxicities that they carry inside them. The story takes us into an inner level thinking of the happenings in the life of the couple.

7. One

Starring – Mammootty, Joju George
Director – Santhosh Viswanath
Language – Malayalam

Santhosh Viswanath’s One on Netflix is a political drama that takes us through the various episodes revolving around Kadakkal Chandran, who holds the distinguished position as the Chief Minister of Kerala. One is sub-par when it comes to the screenwriting side of things and missed the intrigue. However, Mammootty shines bright in an iconic role. A strict one-time watch! – Ashif AR


6. Thimmarusu

Starring – Satyadev K & Priyanka J
Director – Sharan Koppisetty
Language – Telugu

Starring Satyadev Kancharana and Priyanka Jawalkar in the primary roles, Thimmarusu, a remake of the 2019 Kannada movie Birbal Trilogy Case 1, went on to become a decent hit at the box office for all the right reasons. With a quick-paced screenplay, digestible two-hour runtime, and a captivating performance from the lead star Satyadev, this film, despite a few hiccups here and there, is a decent watch inside and out and one of the Best Telugu Movies of 2021.


5. Mandela

Starring – Yogi Babu, Kanna Ravi
Director – Madonne Ashwin
Language – Tamil

Mandela has Yogi Babu as the main lead and Kanna Ravi, G. M. Sundaram, Sangili Murugan, and Sheela Rajkumar in pivotal roles. This political satire is written and directed by Madonne Ashwin and is sweet and educates on the value of voting and how to use suffrage effectively. This movie would have created the necessary awareness among people if released at the right time. Watch ‘Mandela’ on Netflix here. – Nirmal Raj


4. Milestone

Starring – Suvinder Vicky & Lakshvir Saran
Director – Ivan Ayr
Language – Hindi

Milestone (Meel Patthar) explores the journey a truck driver who recently completed 500K km on the road faces a dilemma and some threat when a new intern is appointed to replace him in his role. Slow and unorthodox in its storytelling technique, Milestone might not have that re-watchability factor but it is brilliant in its own way and similar to Ivan Ayr’s previous directorial, Soni. A must-watch!


3. Cinema Bandi

Starring – Vikas Vasistha & Sandeep Varanasi
Director – Praveen Kanderegula
Language – Telugu

Cinema Bandi on Netflix featuring Vikas Vasistha and Sandeep Varanasi playing the primary roles has the heart at the right place, and the candid humor counts in a fresh, happy, heartrending, and light-hearted movie that has its style. The performances, in particular, Rag Mayur, who plays Maridesh Babu, will stick with you for a long time. This excerpt comes from our ‘Cinema Bandi’ review. One of the Best Indian Movies of 2021 on Netflix.


2. Pagglait

Starring – Sanya Malhotra, Shruti Sharma
Director – Umesh Bist
Language – Hindi

Starring Sanya Malhotra in the lead role, Pagglait, explores the story of a young widow, Sandhya, who finds it tough to comprehend her husband’s sudden death. And through the runtime, the narrative displays the journey of her discovering what she wants in life. With intricate storytelling, other relatable characters, and remarkable performances, Pagglait tried to be different and, at the same time, entertaining with some noticeable flaws.


2. Kurup

Starring – Dulquer Salmaan & Indrajit Sukumaran
Director – Srinath Rajendran
Language – Malayalam

Srinath Rajendran’s Kurup is the tale based on real events around India’s most wanted fugitive, Sukumara Kurup. The film takes us to Kurup’s life through different perspectives of people around him. The mood of the movie shifts along with the perspectives and turns into a gripping crime drama in the latter half, when Kurup goes absconding. Dulquer Salmaan was flawless as ‘Kurup’, portraying the varied shades to perfection.


1. Mimi

Starring – Kriti Sanon & Pankaj Tripathi
Director – Laxman Utekar
Language – Hindi

Starring Kriti Sanon in the lead role, Mimi, a remake of the hit Marathi film – Mala Aai Vhhaychy! tells the emotional tale of a surrogate mother from Rajasthan.
