Breaking Down Every Title On The Movies List-

Movies

1. Vishwanath & Sons (Netflix)

Topping the charts is Suriya’s family entertainer Vishwanath & Sons, directed by Venky Atluri. Suriya plays Sanjay Vishwanath, a disciplined, wealthy pistol shooter whose carefully controlled life is upended when his son needs a bone marrow transplant — a search that leads him to Maddy (Mamitha Baiju), setting off an unexpected romance layered with themes of ageing, family duty, and second chances. The film crossed ₹260 crore worldwide in theatres before landing on Netflix on September 11, and it’s clearly still pulling big numbers in its digital run.

2. 365 dni (Netflix)

The Polish erotic romantic drama 365 dni continues its long streaming life at No. 2. Originally released in 2020, the film follows a woman who is abducted by a Sicilian mafia boss who gives her one year to fall in love with him. It remains one of Netflix’s most talked-about — and most polarising — international titles, regularly resurfacing on charts worldwide years after release.

Movies

3. Irumudi (Netflix)

Ravi Teja’s Irumudi, directed by Shiva Nirvana, lands at No. 3 fresh off its September 18 Netflix debut. The film follows Trinath, an alcoholic father who takes up the sacred Ayyappa Deeksha to become a better parent to his young daughter, only to be pulled into a disturbing mystery involving missing girls in his village. It became the highest-grossing film of Ravi Teja’s career, earning over ₹230 crore worldwide, and its emotional father-daughter core has clearly translated well to streaming audiences.

4. Plank Face (BloodStream)

A backwoods horror title, Plank Face follows a group of campers who stumble into the territory of a feral, isolated family deep in the wilderness. It’s a niche genre pick on the horror-focused platform BloodStream, appealing to a smaller but devoted audience of extreme horror fans.

Movies

5. Skin. Like. Sun. (MUBI)

An arthouse erotic documentary from Belgium, Skin. Like. Sun. follows a real-life couple spending an afternoon together, shot and edited in a slow, near-real-time style. It’s the kind of experimental, boundary-pushing work MUBI is known for curating, and its presence here reflects India’s small but steadily growing audience for international arthouse cinema.

6. Jana Nayagan (ZEE5)

One name that’s impossible to ignore on this list is Jana Nayagan, now streaming on ZEE5. This isn’t just another entry — it’s Vijay’s farewell film before his transition into full-time politics as Tamil Nadu’s Chief Minister, directed by H. Vinoth. The political action drama follows a former police inspector drawn back into conflict when a child’s fear reignites an old rivalry between opposing ideologies. It had a massive theatrical run, crossing an estimated ₹300 crore worldwide, and its arrival on streaming is naturally drawing huge numbers as fans revisit — or finally catch — Vijay’s final on-screen outing.

7. Modha Rathri (Netflix)

This Tamil rural comedy-drama, directed by debutant Raja Karuppasamy, follows Maruthanayagam and Muthuselvi, two strangers brought together through an arranged marriage. What should be a simple wedding night spirals into chaos, misunderstandings, and unexpected twists over the course of a single evening. Backed by Mythri Movie Makers and released on Netflix on September 18 alongside Irumudi, its light, feel-good tone has made it a comfortable weekend watch.

8. How to Have Sex (Prime Video)

The acclaimed British coming-of-age drama How to Have Sex follows three teenage girls on a post-exam holiday to Crete that gradually shifts from celebratory to deeply uncomfortable, tackling themes of consent, peer pressure, and self-discovery with unusual honesty. Praised widely on the festival circuit, it continues to find new viewers on Prime Video thanks to strong word-of-mouth around its sensitive, unflinching storytelling.

Movies

9. Lust Stories 3 (Netflix)

The third instalment of Netflix’s popular Indian anthology series, Lust Stories 3 brings together multiple directors exploring modern relationships, desire, and intimacy through separate short films. Its anthology format and starry ensemble cast have made it a reliable performer for Netflix each time a new season drops.

10. DC (SunNXT)

Rounding out the list is DC, marking celebrated director Lokesh Kanagaraj’s acting debut opposite Wamiqa Gabbi. A dark, blood-soaked reimagining of the classic novel Devdas, the film follows an outlaw consumed by grief and vengeance after the woman he loves is killed by corrupt police, who then joins forces with Chandra, a woman escaping her own exploitation. Directed by Arun Matheswaran, DC became one of 2026’s biggest Tamil box office surprises, crossing ₹100 crore worldwide before landing on SunNXT — the natural streaming home for a Sun Pictures production.
