What to watch
in Indiatonight.

You pay for four or five streaming services and still spend forty minutes deciding. Not because there's nothing good — because the good things are scattered across Netflix, Prime Video, JioHotstar, SonyLIV, ZEE5, Apple TV+ and MUBI, and none of those apps knows what you watched on the others.

WTW is a small, free tool that fixes exactly that. You rate a handful of films and web series you've already seen. It works out what kind of viewer you are, then hands you a ranked list of what to watch next — with the IMDb score on every title and the Indian OTT platform it actually streams on.

How WTW works

There's no quiz and no account. The whole thing takes about thirty seconds.

1. Rate what you've seen. You get 42 titles most Indian viewers have an opinion on — Sacred Games, Panchayat, RRR, Kantara, Scam 1992, Money Heist, Breaking Bad. Four buttons per title: loved it, just okay, hated it, or not watched yet. Skip anything you haven't seen.
2. Get your viewing persona. From three ratings onward, WTW reads your taste and issues you a certificate — one of eight personas, from The Slow-Burn Sleuth to The Interval Junkie to The Subtitle Nomad.
3. Get the list. Every title in the catalogue carries tags for mood, pace, genre and language. WTW scores the rest against what you loved, subtracts what you didn't, nudges under-seen titles upward, and ranks the result. Each recommendation tells you why: because you rated Tumbbad and Kantara.

Marking something as not watched yet isn't a throwaway. It stays in your recommendations and gets pushed toward the top — a built-in "remind me about this".

Where to watch in India: the services covered

The hard part of "what to watch" in India is never the what. It's the where. Rights move between platforms every few months, the same film can be on one service in Hindi and another in Telugu, and half the good Malayalam cinema sits on a service you forgot you had. WTW labels every title with its current Indian home and lets you filter to the services you actually pay for.

What's in the catalogue

545 films and web series, chosen by hand rather than scraped. The test for inclusion was simple: is it worth an evening, and can you actually stream it in India? Roughly 26 languages are represented. The weight is deliberately Indian — around 350 titles — because that's where recommendation apps built elsewhere fall down.

Hindi

The obvious ones — Sacred Games, Mirzapur, Panchayat, Scam 1992, Gangs of Wasseypur, Andhadhun, Tumbbad — but also the shelf people miss: Eeb Allay Ooo!, Bhonsle, Titli, Soni, Gamak Ghar, Ship of Theseus, Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro, Pyaasa, and the newer run of small-town series like Dupahiya and Gram Chikitsalay.

Malayalam

The strongest regional cinema in India for a decade and comprehensively represented: Kumbalangi Nights, Manjummel Boys, Drishyam 2, Bramayugam, Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam, Aattam, Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam, Kaathal – The Core, Premalu, Manichitrathazhu, Kireedam and more than thirty others.

Tamil

Vikram, Kaithi, Asuran, Vada Chennai, Maharaja, Ratsasan, Super Deluxe, 96, Pariyerum Perumal, Kadaisi Vivasayi, Aruvi, Nayakan, Anbe Sivam, Suzhal.

Telugu, Kannada, Marathi, Bengali & more

RRR, Baahubali, Sita Ramam, C/o Kancharapalem, Mahanati; Kantara, KGF, Ulidavaru Kandanthe, Thithi, Lucia; Sairat, Court, Killa, Fandry, Sthal; Pather Panchali, Charulata, Meghe Dhaka Tara; plus Punjabi, Gujarati and Assamese films that almost never make it onto recommendation lists.

Korean, Japanese and world cinema

The K-drama shelf from Reply 1988 to When Life Gives You Tangerines; Bong Joon-ho and Park Chan-wook; Ghibli and Your Name; Dark, Babylon Berlin, The Bureau, Gomorrah, A Separation, In the Mood for Love, Capernaum, and a Turkish, Danish, Polish and Persian selection that only exists because MUBI exists.

English

The prestige canon — The Wire, Breaking Bad, Succession, Chernobyl — and the under-seen: Patriot, Mr Inbetween, Halt and Catch Fire, The Leftovers, Detectorists, Somebody Somewhere. Plus animation (Arcane, Vinland Saga) and documentary (The Last Dance, Wild Wild Country, An Insignificant Man).

Rare gems: the under-seen shelf

Every title in WTW carries a familiarity level — famous, well known, or rare gem. 278 of the 545 are rare gems: films and series with strong IMDb scores and critical reputations that simply never reached a wide audience. A Marathi film that played one festival. A Malayalam thriller that left Kerala with no dub. A cancelled US series that everyone who finished it still talks about.

Recommendations give these a small boost by default, so your list doesn't just hand you the same twelve things Netflix's home screen already did. Turn on ◆ Gems only and the entire app rebuilds around obscurity. Sort by Rarest first to browse them across the whole catalogue.

The eight viewing personas

Your persona is read from your ratings, not asked for. It's issued as a certificate — a nod to the censor card that opens every Indian film — and it shapes which titles rise to the top.

• The Slow-Burn Sleuth — patient crime and mystery: Paatal Lok, Kohrra, Memories of Murder.
• The Interval Junkie — scale, swagger and set pieces: RRR, KGF, Vikram.
• The Comfort Rewatcher — warm, familiar, finishable: Panchayat, Gullak, Ted Lasso.
• The Subtitle Nomad — will follow a story to any language: Dark, Drive My Car, Kumbalangi Nights.
• The Nerve Ending — folklore, dread and horror that means something: Tumbbad, Bramayugam, The Terror.
• The Ground Floor Realist — small rooms, real stakes: Laapataa Ladies, Sthal, Eeb Allay Ooo!
• The Prestige Bingeer — the whole cathedral: Succession, Scam 1992, The Americans.
• The Head-Trip — sci-fi, mind-benders, formal weirdness: Inception, Legion, Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam.

Filters that match how people actually watch

• Only what I pay for. Tap the services you subscribe to and everything else disappears.
• One language. Pull only Malayalam, only Korean, only Marathi, across all 545 titles.
• Sort by IMDb, by best match, or rarest first.
• Skip what you've seen and it never comes back. Add to list and it's waiting next time.
• Open in the app. On a phone, the watch button launches Netflix, Hotstar, SonyLIV or ZEE5 directly and searches the title inside the app.
