The Story in Brief
Netflix's official viewership data for August 3 to August 9, 2026 shows three Indian titles in the Global Top 10 Non-English Movies list, drawing a combined 5.9 million views. Gatta Kusthi 2 led at number three with 3.1 million views in its second week. Main Vaapas Aaunga debuted at number six with 1.6 million views, and Idhayam Murali entered at number ten with 1.2 million views.
In the India-specific chart, Gatta Kusthi 2 held the number one spot for a second week, followed by Main Vaapas Aaunga and Idhayam Murali. Older releases like Peddi (fifth week) and Ikka (fifth week) also lingered in the top ten. Spider-Man: Far from Home remained at number nine even in its eighth week.
The Indian Opinion
The Netflix data is being celebrated as proof of regional cinema's 'golden moment', but three films in a weekly global list does not signal a structural shift. Many Indian titles still vanish after a few weeks. The real test will be whether films like Gatta Kusthi 2 and Idhayam Murali sustain viewership beyond their debut fortnight, and whether OTT platforms continue investing in mid-budget regional films after the initial hype fades.
