Netflix India’s October 2026 additions are a mix of fresh releases and catalogue depth. The older Hindi films are the bigger story: titles from Excel Entertainment and Eros International arrive alongside seven Bengali series from Hoichoi, dubbed into Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. For viewers, that means a month shaped as much by what Netflix has licensed as by what it has commissioned.
Four Indian Netflix Originals also debuted: the film Gajab Raat, the series #Love and Akka, and a stand-up special from writer and comedian Sumukhi Suresh. The catalogue below covers the Indian films added during October; Hoichoi supplies the Bengali series mentioned above.
If you’re tracking Netflix’s Indian programming, the spread is useful: familiar Hindi comedies and dramas sit alongside newer films in several Indian languages. The list also includes our 2026 Indian slate preview.
