The series delves into a police investigation surrounding mysterious disappearances in Uttar Pradesh, promising a serious and engaging procedural for fans of the genre.
- HOLLYWOOD HUSTLER: GLITZ, GLAM, SCAM (Amazon Prime Video): For fans of true crime, this documentary is a must-see.

- SHE WALKS IN DARKNESS (Netflix): Aimed at the global thriller audience, this international spy series is set in France. The political drama with a spy twist is expected to be a big draw for viewers who enjoy high-voltage geopolitical narratives.
Global and regional diversity on full display
This week’s programming highlights the platforms’ commitment to both international and vernacular content, ensuring a comprehensive catalog for a linguistically diverse audience.
- GOOD NEWS (Netflix): The South Korean disaster comedy, which mixes tension and laughter during a plane hijacking crisis, adds a touch of dark humor. This continues the strong trend of non-English global content being hugely successful with Indian viewers.
