Netflix India has released some really good content this year, and the most prominent show from the streaming giant is Kohrra. Other than this Punjab based Netflix India Original; Class, Friday Night Plan, Choona, Guns & Gulaabs, and Jaane Jaan are some of the latest additions to the Netflix India lineup. Khufiya, directed by the famous Vishal Bharadwaj, is a new inclusion that, by the looks of it, is a spy thriller set in post-liberalization India. Vishal Bharadwaj also dropped a whodunnit web series Charlie Chopra and the Mystery of the Solang Valley, and we think the filmmaker is on a roll to be coming out with back-to-back work that will further diversify his filmography.

Indian actor Babil Khan is basking in the success of Netflix original film “Friday Night Plan.”
The high school comedy bowed Sept. 1 and has consistently stayed in the Netflix Top 10 charts across South Asia. Khan debuted with Netflix original film “Qala” and his next venture, drama series “The Railway Men” is also due to bow on the service.
Khan describes those two roles as “emotionally intense.” “I wanted to do something that would leave the audience with a little lightness and relief from a world that is already consuming you,” Khan told Variety.
The actor, who is in his early 20s, added: “People my age are burdened by social media and the anxieties of feeling like they’re being left behind and constantly seeking for validation from outside. I just wanted to do a film, which we can watch without thinking, without intellectualizing and just feel a little lighter from...

There are adventure films, and then there are coming-of-age or slice-of-life dramedies. Both of them have something in common, I think, even though they are totally different genres. Both have to have a sense of fantasy somewhere. Sure, the nature of it will differ, but the element is still there. The new movie Friday Night Plan seems like a slice-of-life drama at first, promising to revolve around the lives of two brothers, Sid and Adi. Later, it turned into an adventure film, where the hopes of seeing the two brothers fall deep into the rabbit hole engaged me, but the film didn’t go far enough. It was content with roaming in known territory. As far as being a coming-of-age film, it didn’t risk much. This upbeat contentment is what I think limited the film from exploring enough. The idea and the characters were there to take that leap of faith.

Excel Entertainment’s Friday Night Plan, directed by Vatsal Neelakantan, seems to have created a good buzz ever since the first teaser was released a while ago. At first glance, Friday Night Plan trailers give off the feel of a slice-of-life comedy movie mixed with family dynamics and coming-of-age elements. We also believe this film has all the aspects of a young adult story that involves a high school senior who comes across as an introvert but will probably soon go through a life-changing incident. The crackling, fun visuals add to the intrigue of the film. Friday Night Plan caters to the younger generation who want to watch some relatable light-hearted films.
Story And Plot
The trailer follows the lives of two brothers, the lead characters of the movie, Sid and Abi. We believe Sid is the reclusive kind, while Abi is the outgoing boy who loves being the troublemaker.
