Indian cinema is having a moment on Netflix — and increasingly, it’s first-timers leading the charge.

Vivek Das Chaudhary’s debut feature “Toaster” has topped Netflix’s Global Top 10 Non-English Films chart, arriving at No. 1 as part of a broader wave of Indian titles — several of them from debut and early-stage directors — that have been stacking up on the list in recent weeks. It’s the latest evidence that the platform’s long-running strategy of backing emerging Indian filmmakers is generating returns well beyond the subcontinent.
