Gajab Raat hits Netflix with a roar — and Manoj Bajpayee’s return to the screen is already being called a landmark. The crime thriller, released directly on the streaming platform on October 19, 2026, has stormed into the global Top 10 in 17 countries, claiming the #1 spot in nine, including India, UAE, Bangladesh, and Qatar.
According to Netflix data from the debut week (October 19–25), the film racked up 4.2 million views and 8.8 million viewing hours, enough to break three opening viewership records for Hindi-language originals on the service. It also secured second place globally in the list of top 10 non-English films trending that week.
That’s not just strong, it’s historic. Gajab Raat now sits among the top 10 highest-debuting direct-to-digital Hindi films on Netflix between 2024 and 2026, outpacing titles like Made In Korea and Dhoom Dhaam. Within 2026 alone, it ranks in the Top 5 biggest opening debuts for Indian films on the platform.
