A trio of ’90s movies starring Sunny Deol + two 2021 theatrical releases + a pair of Netflix Hindi Originals + a kids flick from 2015 = a slow start to 2022. Here are all of the new Indian movies and TV series added to Netflix in January 2022.
All title marked with an N signifies that it’s a Netflix Original.
New Indian Movies on Netflix: January 2022 Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui (2021) Language: Hindi Runtime: 115 Minutes Director: Abhishek Kapoor Cast: Ayushmann Khurrana, Vaani Kapoor, Yograj Singh Genre: Romantic Drama, LGBTQ | Added to Netflix: January 6 Bodybuilder Manu’s gym struggles for business until a gorgeous Zumba instructor named Maanvi starts teaching classes there. Manu and Maanvi fall in love, but their relationship falls apart when Manu reacts poorly to a confession from Maanvi. Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui is a thoughtful exploration of what it really means to be strong and courageous.
Damini (1993) Language: Hindi Runtime: 169 Minutes Director: Rajkumar Santoshi Cast: Meenakshi Sheshadri, Rishi Kapoor, Sunny Deol Genre: Social Issue Drama | Added to Netflix: January 18 A new bride witnesses her brother-in-law rape a housekeeper, but her husband is more concerned with protecting his family’s name. The bride turns to an alcoholic lawyer to help the injured woman receive justice. When it released, Damini (“Lightning“) was considered path-breaking for its progressive depiction of women’s issues, winning several awards as a result.
Dushmani (1996) Language: Hindi Runtime: 163 Minutes Director: Bunty Soorma Cast: Sunny Deol, Jackie Shroff, Manisha Koirala Genre: Romance, Action | Added to Netflix: January 18 The feud between the Singh family and the Oberoi family has spanned generations. When Suraj Singh falls in love with Sapna Oberoi, it presents an opportunity to put an end to all the fighting. Given that Dushmani‘s subtitle is “A Violent Love Story,” that’s probably not how things work out.
Yodha (1991) Language: Hindi Runtime: 148 Minutes Director: Rahul Rawali Cast: Sunny Deol, Sanjay Dutt, Sangeeta Bijlani Genre: Drama, Action | Added to Netflix: January 18 Upstanding lawyer Karan (Sunny Deol) loses faith in the legal system when a judge who leads a double life as an underworld don has Karan’s journalist father murdered. Revenge ensues. The video (embedded below) for composer Bappi Lahiri’s catchy graveyard dance party anthem “Duniya Mein Jeena Hai To” is amazing.
Shyam Singha Roy (2021) Language: Telugu Runtime: 154 Minutes Director: Rahul Sankrityan Cast: Nani, Sai Pallavi, Krithi Shetty Genre: Romance, Courtroom Drama | Added to Netflix: January 20 Rookie filmmaker Vasu is unable to enjoy the success of his movie’s release. First, a head injury suffered while defending his leading lady causes him to manifest an alternate personality. Then he’s accused of plagiarizing his film’s story from a fifty-year-old novel. But it turns out the new personality, the old novel, and Vasu share a connection to dramatic events from the past.
