Netflix threw a celebration on Thursday night for Gandhari’s overseas surge.
Taapsee Pannu and Kanika Dhillon arrived with the cast, crew and a few Netflix reps.
The party came as the thriller logged nine‑point‑six million streams in its second week, according to Bollywood Hungama.
That number pushed the film to the top of Netflix’s global chart.
"Taapsee Pannu and Kanika Dhillon celebrate Gandhari success with Netflix as it marks their third collaboration," read the headline of the outlet’s report.
The event also highlighted Dhillon’s fourth consecutive Netflix tie‑up after Haseen Dillruba, its sequel and Do Patti.
For Pannu and Dhillon, Gandhari is their third film together, following two Haseen Dillruba titles that focused on relationships.
This time they switched gears to an action‑thriller.
Director Devashish Makhija steers the story of Bani, a mother hunting her abducted daughter in the fictional town of Joypurra.
Supporting players include Ishwak Singh, Chhaya Kadam, Swastika Mukherjee and Mita Vashisht.
In a brief chat, Pannu thanked fans for embracing a story that feels rooted in small‑town India yet resonated abroad.
Dhillon praised Netflix for giving Indian creators a global stage.
She said the platform’s support for female‑centric scripts opens doors for stories that might stay domestic otherwise.
Industry watchers see the numbers as a bellwether for Indian action thrillers on streaming services.
Romance‑driven titles have long dominated, but a mother‑driven revenge saga breaking the top spot hints at changing tastes.
The celebration ended with hints of future projects.
Both Pannu and Dhillon teased that their next collaboration could push the envelope further, but details remain under wraps.
