OMG are you ready for the ultimate binge?
Start with Andaz Apna Apna to get in the groove.
Watch Hum Saath-Saath Hain for family time.
Lagaan as your sports quota for the day.
Laugh it off with Munna Bhai MBBS.
And end your day with Om Shanti Om – the most Bollywood movie ever.— Netflix India (@NetflixIndia) October 3, 2019
