Top Hindi Movies and Series: October 2025 Edition

Netflix periodically refreshes its collection, ensuring viewers get a selection ranging from the latest 2025 cinematic releases to timeless hits and regional crossovers. Here are the most acclaimed additions to the Hindi movie lineup and what sets them apart.

1. War 2 (2025)

Sequel to the blockbuster War (2019), War 2 picks up the pace with Hrithik Roshan reprising his role as Kabir, the Indian super-spy. This time, a covert mission goes awry, forcing Kabir to kill his own mentor and triggering a global chase. With intrigue at every turn, audiences are treated to high-stakes action sequences inspired by the likes of Mission: Impossible. Kiara Advani stars as the vengeful daughter leading the chase, and NTR Jr joins as a formidable rival. Though the film faced mixed reviews due to its convoluted plot, it remains a fan favorite for its action set-pieces. The Hindi version provides access to several dubbed languages, making it accessible to a global audience.

Greater Kalesh stands out as a rare Netflix Original ‘featurette’—a film with a shorter-than-usual running time but no less emotional depth. The plot centers on Twinkle, whose surprise Diwali visit to her family unearths long-held feelings and family secrets. As tensions bubble to the surface, viewers witness a raw portrayal of familial love and friction that will resonate with anyone from a close-knit clan.

Runtime: 103 minutes
Released on Netflix: October 22, 2025

A thrilling entry in the horror genre, Vash Level 2 takes place 12 years after the first installment (the original Vash is not on Netflix, but its Hindi remake Shaitaan is available). The stakes are higher as protective father Atharva must rescue more innocent girls from an ancient evil that previously destroyed his daughter’s spirit. The film’s tension is enhanced by its smart use of atmospheric visuals and chilling sound design. With a Hindi dubbed version and a Gujarati descriptive track, the movie ensures that the pulse-pounding storyline is accessible to a broad audience.

They Call Him OG combines classic ’70s style with martial arts action. After a brutal massacre at his dojo, a young martial artist flees Japan and begins again in Bombay’s dockyards. Years later, when ruthless gangsters threaten his new peace, he picks up his katana to restore order. Notable for its period authenticity and powerful performances by Pawan Kalyan and Prakash Raj, the film is also remembered for enduring several production delays related to its star’s real-life political commitments. Multiple language options make it a pan-Indian treat for lovers of old-school heroics.
