From 'Piku' to 'Andaz Apna Apna', Netflix has got desi fun too!

Streaming site Netflix is now available in India, with monthly plans starting from Rs 500 for basic services and going up to Rs 850 for the 4K streaming option after a month's free trial.

While the content is dominated by Hollywood movies and series, the site has a section dedicated for the Indian audience. The site doesn't boast of many recently released Indian movies, but doesn't disappoint with its collection of almost 100 titles.

Here are the seven best Indian movies to watch on Netflix:

1. Shahid: The Anurag Kashyap-produced 2013 movie is based on the life of lawyer and human rights activist Shahid Azmi, who was assassinated in Mumbai in 2010.



Starring Rajkumar Rao, Tigmanshu Dhulia, and K K Menon, the Hansal Mehta-directed won the National Award for best actor and director in 2014.

2. Andaz Apna Apna: Every '90s kid remembers this Aamir Khan-Salman Khan starrer. Released in 1994, this laugh-riot went onto to become a cult film.

Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, the movie also saw Raveena Tandon and Karisma Kapoor in lead roles.

Shakti Kapoor's character Crime Master Gogo became quite a hit amongst fans.

3. Piku: One of the recent releases available on Netflix, the story revolves around Deepika Padukone's character Piku Banerjee, her grumpy, ageing father Bhashkor (Amitabh Bachchan) and Rana Chaudhary (Irrfan Khan), who is stuck between the father-daughter duo, as they embark on a journey to Kolkata.

The Shoojit Sircar-directed hit the screens in mid-2015 and did fairly well at the box office.

4. D-day: The Nikhil Advani-directorial action/spy movie released in 2013.

With an impressive star-cast of Irrfan Khan, Rishi Kapoor, Arjun Rampal, Huma Qureshi and Shruti Haasan, the movie opened to good critical reviews.

5. Maine Pyar Kiya: A typical rom-com starring a young Salman Khan in a boy-next-door role and debutante Bhagyashree, "Maine Pyar Kiya" released in 1989 and became an iconic movie in a short time.

The Sooraj Barjatya-directorial gave birth to Khan's character "Prem", which went on to become his most famous on-screen name and was repeated in a lot of movies henceforth.

6. Lootera: A period romantic drama, the 2013 Ranveer Singh-Sonakshi Sinha starrer is based on O. Henry's short story "The Last Leaf".

Directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, the movie won critical acclaim but failed at the box office.

7. O Kadhal Kanmani: One of the few non-Bollywood movies on the streaming site, the movie marked filmmaker Mani Ratnam's return as producer, director, and writer after a gap of two years.


Starring Dulquer Salmaan and Nithya Menen and music by A.R. Rahman, the movie did well at the box office. According to reports Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor were approached for its Hindi remake.
