Three Indian Titles Secure Spots on Netflix’s Global Non-English Top 10 List

Three Indian productions have made notable appearances on Netflix’s Global Top 10 list for non-English content during the week ending May 18, 2025. The Hindi web series ‘The Royals’, starring Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar, has retained its position as the third most-watched non-English series on the platform, garnering 5.5 million views and 33 million watch-hours in its second week. Despite mixed to negative reviews, the show has topped viewership charts in seven countries including India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.

Joining it on the list is ‘The Diplomat’, a Hindi film led by John Abraham, based on a true story involving domestic abuse and diplomatic intervention. The film achieved 5.2 million views and 11.5 million watch-hours, and ranked number one in nine countries. Meanwhile, the Telugu-language spy comedy ‘Jack’, featuring Siddhu Jonnalagadda and Prakash Raj, also entered the Top 10 with 2.1 million views. Although ‘Jack’ and ‘The Diplomat’ underperformed in theatres, all three have found global streaming success.

The data underscores a growing international appetite for Indian content on Netflix, regardless of prior box office performance or critical reception.
