Gritty crime thrillers seem to dominate Netflix’s new slate with the teaser of YRF-backed Mandala Murders, starring Vaani Kapoor, promising to deliver a delicious murder mystery show. Anupam Kher’s inspiring drama Vijay 69 and Aamir Khan’s son Junaid Khan-led Maharaj are the other YRF projects that will arrive on the streaming platform this year.
Kapil Sharma has joined hands with fellow comedians Archana Puran Singh, Kiku Sharda, Krushna Abhishek and Sunil Grover for The Great Indian Kapil Show to tickle our bones from March 30. A documentary on Indian rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh will also hit the streamer later this year.
Netflix has also released teasers of the upcoming seasons for its old favourites like Kota Factory and Mismatched. Back with its third season, TVF’s Kota Factory explores the challenges faced by young JEE aspirants. The teaser features Jitendra Kumar reprising his role as Jeetu Bhaiya, inspiring and aiding his students in one of Rajasthan’s largest educational hubs. Season 3 also welcomes Lust Stories 2 actress Tillotama Shome to the cast.
