From a Tamil-language gangster epic to a Spanish drama by Pedro Almodovar - here are the best films on the streaming platform across time and languages.

Eddie the Eagle (2016)

Nirmalyam (1973)

T. Vasudevan Nair’s Malayalam-language black-and-white film, based on a short story he wrote, examines the role of religion and its importance, or lack of, in the lives of everyday people. Through his characters, all of whom are, in some way, dependent on a local temple, he illustrates what it takes to have faith and the harsh circumstances that can cause someone to lose theirs.

Ready or Not (2019)

Gaalipata (2008)

Yogaraj Bhat’s Kannada-language romantic comedy revolves around three best friends who decide to take a vacation. While staying at an army veteran’s guesthouse, they find themselves falling in love with his daughters and widowed daughter-in-law.

Kaithi (2019)

If recently freed prisoner Dilli (Karthi) hopes to have any chance of meeting his daughter for the first time, he must first ferry several poisoned police officers to the hospital in a lorry, while evading the criminals on their tail, in this Tamil Lokesh Kanagaraj film.

The Favourite (2018)

Only director Yorgos Lanthimos could imbue the stuffiness of 18th Century British royals with a wicked sense of humour, which he does in this (fictional) love triangle between Queen Anne (Olivia Colman), Duchess Sarah (Rachel Weisz) and her cousin (Emma Stone), in which each schemes deliciously against the other.

Tu Hai Mera Sunday (2016)

Milind Dhaimade’s film, about a group of friends struggling to find the space to play football in Mumbai, weaves in several heavy themes, but with a breeziness and feel-good nature that will leave you smiling by the end.

Godhi Banna Sadharana Mykattu (2016)

When Shiva’s (Rakshit Shetty’s) Alzheimer’s-afflicted father goes missing, he teams up with a doctor to find him. Meanwhile, the father (Anant Nag) finds himself embroiled in a murder plot in this well-written, heartwarming Kannada-language Hemanth M Rao film.

The Sixth Sense (1999)

Sidlingu (2012)

Vijayaprasad’s sweet, coming-of-age Kannada-language romantic drama revolves around the automobile-obsessed Sidlingu (Yogesh), who falls in love with a government school teacher (Ramya).
