Indian (1996)
Indian is streaming in the UAE on Netflix.
The verdict
Indian is a dependable Tamil film — it does what it sets out to do. It holds a 7.0/10 on TMDB from 86 ratings, well above the typical run of new releases. At 185 minutes it's a long sit, so save it for when you've got the evening. In the UAE you can stream it on Netflix.
Should you spend 3h 5m on it?
3h 5m of Tamil drama with an action streak. Past two and a half hours, it needs a proper evening rather than a weeknight.
Don't watch this if…
- you take the score at face value — it's early, and 86 votes can still move it
- you don't have 3h 5m to give it tonight — this is a full evening, not a background watch
- Why
- 7.0/10 from 86 ratings — well received so far, on a modest sample.
- Skip if
- you don't have a clear three hours
- Best for
- A free weekend evening
