However, the latest Hindi movie premiered on Netflix some days back, and the film is now registering high viewing numbers on the streaming platform. In the latest Bollywood movies, 'Faraaz' has managed to stay at the top of Netflix India's charts for seven days straight, when it comes to movies.

A film without stars, with no PR, no publicity, not a Netflix original resonates with so many viewers around the world. Thank you @NetflixIndia for making our little film BIG. Gratitude."
