Netflix’s weekly South slate — count Telangana in
Netflix says it will average one new Tamil, Telugu or Malayalam film every week for the rest of 2026. For the diaspora, that’s a steadier pipe from home than anything the BJP-led Centre or Congress ever built in culture policy — delivered by a streamer, not a sarkar’s slogan.

Analysis
Pellets, protest, and a ‘pre-existing’ FIR
Rahul sat outside a Delhi police office for hours. By evening, an FIR appeared—against “unknown persons”. The BJP says procedure was already working. The timestamp will be the joke.
Analysis
Plans, parks and a ‘High Performer’
