New Films and Unique Stories

One of the quirkiest additions to the lineup is Toaster, starring Rajkummar Rao, Sanya Malhotra, Abhishek Banerjee, and Upendra Limaye. The story revolves around a miser whose wedding gift—a toaster—leads him into a chaotic web of murder and mayhem.

Romance also finds a place in Netflix’s offerings with Aap Jaisa Koi, featuring Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh. This love drama explores the lives of two polar opposites who are inexplicably drawn to each other.
