There was music, intrigue, high-intensity drama based on real-life crime and even a full-blown dance routine. The series and films from India’s best and brightest filmmakers have something for everyone, and you can see them here first. With five distinct celebrations, Tudum: A Netflix Global Fan Event includes first-look photos, never-before-seen footage, new trailers, behind-the-scenes access, celebrity appearances, interviews, and more from over 100 of your favorite series, films and specials.

Tudum India was hosted by comedian Zakir Khan and popular actor Prajakta Koli. The pair kicked off the show with a bouncy musical overview (in just under 40 seconds, no less). From there, the show went on one wild ride after another, from gritty noir in wealthy Bombay to a genre-bending dark comedy set in a small town to a whodunnit tale about a case of stolen jackfruit.

Monica', O My Darlin TeaserA who-dunnit neo-noir with plenty of epic musical numbers.

Monica, O My Darling

Monica, O My Darling started the show with an epic musical number starring Huma Qureshi, introduced by star Radhika Apte (who, as you might’ve caught in the show, didn’t quite see herself in her work). The movie is a neo-noir about the perfect plan that leads to mayhem: lust, blackmail, betrayal, blood, whodunnit and some robots crushing human skulls.

Rana Naidu

Next up was Rana Naidu, charmingly introduced by the IRL uncle-nephew duo who play a father and son in the series, Rana Daggubati and Venkatesh Daggubati, explained the mass appeal of Rana Naidu (“a whole lot of action, a whole lot of thrills”), and set up the trailer. Taking place in glamorous Mumbai, Rana Naidu  is about a guy who does the dirty work for the city’s most powerful people — in other words, Naidu is a fixer. However, the drama unfolds when his father is unexpectedly released from prison, setting off a chain of events that could change everything. 

Khufiya

Following Rana Naidu was a behind-the-scenes look at Khufiya, introduced by Vishal Bhardwaj, one of India’s most celebrated filmmakers. Bhardwaj explained that Khufiya is based on the novel Escape to Nowhere, inspired by real life events and written by an ex-spy. 

Class Season 1 TeaserThree new students are not like the others.

Class

After glimpses of Rana Naidu and Khufiya, Tudum India took the audience to an elite classroom, where  Tudum India MC Koli introduced the series trailer for Class. The show follows a sudden change in dynamics at the upscale Hampton International, when three new students from a starkly different background enroll in the school and shake up the status quo.

Directed by Ashim Ahluwalia and starring Gurfateh Pirzada, Anjali Sivaraman, Ayesha Kanga,Cyaawal singh, Chintan Rach, Chayan Chopra, Madhyama Segal, Moses Koul, Naina Bhan, Piyush Khati and Zeyn Shaw, Class raises the bar of a high school drama a few notches higher. 

Scoop

Next up, Koli left the classroom and was transported to the newsroom to introduce Scoop, a series based on the true story of the aftermath that takes shape after a reporter who was gunned down in broad daylight. In the sneak peek, audiences got a glimpse of the film inspired by Jigna Vora’s book Behind The Bars In Byculla: My Days In Prison. Scoop  traces the journey of Jagruti Pathak, an ambitious crime journalist whose world comes crashing down ​when she’s charged with the heinous murder of a fellow journalist, and the truth is quietly buried as she waits out a trial.

Kathal

Of course, not all true crime involves murder. Next up on the Tudum India show was a light-hearted first look at Kathal (which translates to “jackfruit”). It’s lightly based on a true incident  — when a local politician’s prized jackfruits go missing, it turns into a bizarre case that falls into the lap of a young and earnest police officer, played by Sanya Malhotra.

Soup

Food must have been on the mind of our hosts, because coming up next is Soup. The show was introduced by a soup-slurping Manoj Bajpayee (who also happens to be one of the stars). Directed by Abhishek Chaubey, Soup follows chef Swathi Shetty as she cooks up a master plan to replace her husband with her lover. But when a bumbling local inspector and a squad of villainous meddlers get involved, her plans could go cold before she knows it. 

CAT

OK, enough about food — the next Tudum India sneak peek was all about a CAT. Well, actually, in this case, a CAT is a person: Specifically, a former civilian informant, played by Randeep Hooda. The clip gives audiences a glimpse of the tense story. Gurnam is forced to become an informant again to save the life of his brother, which forces him to come to terms with his dark past.

QALA TeaserA singer's tragic past catches up to her.

Qala

Haunting, powerful and also rich with excellent music, the Tudum India debut of the Qala teaser  was intriguing, to say the least. Set in the 1930s and late 1940s, Qala is the story of the young eponymous playback singer. It’s about her tragic past and the ways in which it catches up with her, causing her to unravel at the peak of her hard-won success. 

Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga

Don’t let host Koli’s flight attendant intro bit fool you — Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga is serious business. Packed with adrenaline, it’s the story of a flight attendant and her business partner on a mission to steal diamonds and free themselves from the clutches of a loan shark. However, at 40,000 feet in the air, the heist goes horribly wrong and turns into a hostage situation. As fans saw from the sneak peek, chaos ensues. 

Go Beyond The Fairytale of NayantharaA peek into the life one of India's biggest superstars.

Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale 

After all the unexpected laughs, tense drama and over-the-top musical numbers, this special about one of India’s most intensely private but wildly popular superstars brought some real-life romance to the Tudum India lineup. The special follows the love story of Indian superstar Nayanthara, who recently got married in a fairy tale wedding to filmmaker Vignesh Shivan. Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale gave the Tudum India audience an all-access peek into their lives, marriage and beyond. 

Guns & Gulaabs

Closing out the show was a first look at Guns & Gulaabs, directed by Raj & DK. It’s a genre-bending dark comedy set in a small town in India in the ’90s. Actor Dulquer Salmaan described what audiences will get from Guns & Gulaabs, including love, crime and a ton of mid-’90s nostalgia. The teaser r delivers on that promise: Stay to the end if you’ve ever been curious what death-by-wrench looks like. Guns & Gulaabs also stars Rajkummar Rao, Adarsh Gourav, TJ Bhanu and Gulshan Devaiah.
