Tehran (2025)
Language: Hindi
Runtime: 115 Minutes
Director: Arun Gopalan
Cast: John Abraham, Neeru Bajwa, Manushi Chhillar
Genre: Spy Thriller | Added to Netflix: August 28
Tehran is a straight-to-streaming release, but not a Netflix Original. The film premiered globally on the service ZEE5 on August 14, 2025 — two weeks before it debuted on Netflix. It’s still available on ZEE5 as well. John Abraham plays a Delhi cop who travels internationally to murder an Iranian operative who tried to assassinate an Israeli diplomat on Indian soil, killing a young Indian girl in the process. The story gives lip service to not taking sides in the Middle Eastern conflict while clearly taking sides, and the result is a moral and political mess.

Director: Anurag Basu
Cast: Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Sara Ali Khan
Genre: Romantic Drama | Added to Netflix: August 28

He brings back four members of his Ludo cast — Aditya Roy Kapur, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Pankaj Tripathi, and Pritam — for Metro… In Dino, a spiritual sequel to his 2007 movie Life in a… Metro (also streaming on Netflix). The new film weaves together multiple love stories to paint a picture of romance in contemporary India, with all its modern pitfalls.
