India’s movie-streaming charts have a distinctly local flavor this Thursday. Recent Netflix India data puts Dhamaal 4, Gandhari, G.D.N and Korean Kanakaraju in the platform’s top four movie positions, while Alpha continues to hold strongly after nearly two weeks on the service.
Platforms & Sources Reviewed
Today’s review covered Netflix India, Prime Video India, JioHotstar, ZEE5 and SonyLIV, with current ranking signals supplemented by Netflix chart tracking and fresh reporting from The Indian Express, The Economic Times and other entertainment-industry sources.
Main Highlights
Netflix — Dhamaal 4 Moves to No. 1
Dhamaal 4 is currently the movie to beat on Netflix India
The latest available daily chart, dated September 8, places the comedy at No. 1 among Netflix movies in India, after four days in the Top 10.
That is particularly notable because Dhamaal 4 arrived on Netflix only September 4 after a successful theatrical run. The ensemble comedy stars Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi and Riteish Deshmukh.
Why it’s trending: This looks like a classic example of theatrical familiarity translating into immediate streaming discovery. A recognizable franchise, familiar cast and comedy format make Dhamaal 4 an easy family-viewing choice at home.
Netflix — Gandhari Is Becoming More Than an India Hit
Gandhari remains right behind Dhamaal 4 in the latest daily Netflix India ranking, at No. 2.
But the bigger story is its international performance.
The Taapsee Pannu action thriller reached No. 1 in eight countries, including India, and entered Netflix’s Top 10 in 49 additional countries within days of release.
Netflix’s first-week data also gives the movie 5.9 million global views.
Why it’s trending: Gandhari has a simple emotional premise capable of travelling across cultures—a mother fighting to recover and protect her daughter—wrapped inside an action thriller.
That combination appears to be giving Netflix something valuable: an Indian story with international viewing appeal.
Netflix — G.D.N Climbs Into the Top Three
R. Madhavan’s biographical drama G.D.N, centered on inventor and industrialist G.D. Naidu, is another strong mover.
The latest available Netflix India daily chart puts the movie at No. 3, ahead of several more conventionally commercial films.
That is especially interesting because G.D.N had a relatively modest theatrical run before arriving on streaming.
Why it’s trending: Biographical films can behave very differently on OTT than in cinemas. A viewer who might hesitate to buy a ticket for a historical biopic can sample it instantly from the Netflix home screen.
Its current ranking suggests G.D.N may be finding exactly the kind of second audience that streaming can create.
Netflix — Korean Kanakaraju Holds No. 4
Telugu horror-comedy Korean Kanakaraju currently sits at No. 4 on Netflix India, giving regional-language cinema another prominent position on the national chart.
The movie’s unusual mix of horror, comedy and Korean cultural influences gives it a particularly strong discovery hook.
Its presence alongside three very different Indian films also illustrates how little the modern streaming viewer respects traditional genre boundaries.
One evening’s recommendations can move from slapstick comedy to maternal action thriller to biopic to Telugu horror-comedy.
Netflix — Alpha Has the Staying Power Story
Perhaps the most impressive longevity belongs to Alpha.
The Alia Bhatt-led film remained No. 5 on Netflix India’s September 8 daily chart after 11 days in the Top 10.
On Netflix’s weekly India chart for August 31–September 6, it ranked even higher at No. 2, its second consecutive week in the Top 10. It generated about 8.5 million global Netflix views during that second streaming week.
Why it’s trending: Alpha demonstrates the difference between a launch spike and sustained streaming demand. New releases naturally push older movies down daily rankings, but remaining inside the Top 5 while several major titles arrive suggests continued discovery.
The Netflix India Top 5 Snapshot
The latest available daily movie chart gives us an unusually clean picture of what Indian Netflix viewers are choosing:
1. Dhamaal 4
2. Gandhari
3. G.D.N
4. Korean Kanakaraju
5. Alpha
All five are Indian films.
And they represent five quite different audience propositions: ensemble comedy, female-led action, biography, regional horror-comedy and franchise-scale spy action.
New Today — Call My Agent! The Movie
One fresh movie worth watching today is Call My Agent! The Movie, arriving on Netflix September 10.
The movie reunites characters from the acclaimed French series five years after the ASK talent agency closed. Andréa, now trying to direct her first feature, reunites her former colleagues when she suddenly loses her leading actor shortly before production.
It will be interesting to see whether an established international streaming franchise can break into an India movie chart currently dominated by domestic films.
Short Trend Takeaway
Today’s strongest signal is straightforward:
Indian movies are owning the Netflix India movie chart.
More importantly, audiences are not converging around one particular formula.
Dhamaal 4 offers familiar comedy. Gandhari is an original female-led action film. G.D.N is a biopic. Korean Kanakaraju comes from Telugu cinema. Alpha brings big-budget Hindi franchise filmmaking.
Streaming is putting all of them onto essentially the same shelf.
And Gandhari’s international performance adds another dimension: Indian movies increasingly do not have to choose between being deeply local and globally watchable.
That may ultimately be the most important trend on today’s chart.
