Baahubali: Before the Beginning
Fans are still waiting for the prequel series Baahubali: Before the Beginning, a two-season spin-off of the blockbuster film franchise that was announced in 2018. A good portion of the first season was filmed in 2019, but a report in The Indian Expressin September revealed that the series was undergoing a major creative overhaul in order to “do justice to the expansive vision, depth of storytelling, and complex characters.” Hopefully the revamp will be ready in 2021, but fans may have to wait...
Bombay Begums
Writer-director Alankrita Shrivastava specializes in stories about the struggles of contemporary Indian women, as seen in her 2020 Netflix Original film Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare. Bombay Begums sounds right on brand. Per Deadline:
Mai
Mai is the second collaboration between Netflix and actress Anushka Sharma’s production house Clean Slate Filmz, the first being 2020’s gorgeous period Gothic horror movie Bulbbul. The new series is likely to be another thriller, based on the description from Netflix:
The White Tiger
The adaptation of the novel The White Tigeris the only title in this list with a confirmed release date: January 22, 2021. The English-language international production is already generating awards buzz for performances by newcomer Adarsh Gourav and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who also serves as executive producer. Gourav plays the driver for a wealthy Indian family who uses his wits to escape poverty and become a successful entrepreneur.
Bombay Rose
Technical problems forced Netflix to delay the planned release of Bombay Rose, a gorgeous hand-painted film considered a possible contender for a Best Animated Picture Oscar. Netflix describes this contemporary Indian romance from director Gitanjali Rao thusly:
Cobalt Blue
Filmmaker and author Sachin Kundalkar writes and directs Cobalt Blue, the movie version of his novel about a traditional Marathi family thrown into chaos when the brother and sister both fall in love with the same man.
Dehli Crime
Production is underway for Season 2 of Delhi Crime, which just won an International Emmy for “Best Drama” — the first ever International Emmy for an Indian series. The biggest change for Season 2 is that series creator Richie Mehta opted not to return. He told Film Companion:
Selection Day
We reported in 2019 that Selection Daywas renewed for a second season, but there’s been little news on its progress since then.
Hasmukh
Though there are rumors of second season for the dark comedy Hasmukh, nothing has been officially announced yet. Considering that the streaming service released two stand-up comedy specials by Hasmukhcreator and star Vir Das in 2020 alone, it’s pretty clear that this creative relationship is important to Netflix.
Indian Matchmaking
Indian Matchmaking generated a ton of buzz — good and bad — when it premiered, so a second season seems like a no-brainer. While it hasn’t been formally renewed, the show’s creator Smriti Mundra is eager for another go. Season 1 took a year to film, so the chances of Season 2 being ready in 2021 are slim. But Mundra has lots of ideas for a new season, some designed to address criticism the show faced for its lack of diversity in casting. She told OprahMag.com:
Jamtara – Sabka Number Ayega
Unlike some other Netflix Original series, Jamtara – Sabka Number Ayega was “not conceived as a mini-series,” according to The Cinemaholic. Given that it draws inspiration from real-life crime stories just like Delhi Crime, moving the series forward as an anthology might make sense for Jamtara, too.
