15 Best Hindi Murder Mysteries On Netflix (Movies & Shows)
1. Kohrra (2 Seasons)
The first season begins after an NRI groom is murdered in Punjab just before his wedding, sending two police officers into a case filled with family secrets, grief and damaged relationships. Season 2 brings a completely new murder involving a woman found dead in her family barn, while the investigators carry personal struggles of their own. Across both seasons, every answer seems to expose another emotional wound, making the human stories around the crimes as important as finding the killer.
2. Mandala Murders
A string of ritual-style killings pulls investigators into the eerie town of Charandaspur, where strange symbols and old beliefs appear closely linked to the deaths. Connecting the clues gradually reveals hidden networks and motives far bigger than the individual crime scenes suggest. Every discovery makes the conspiracy more disturbing and raises fresh questions about what is really driving the murders.
3. Monica, O My Darling
A robotics expert finds his seemingly successful life falling apart after blackmail pulls him into a dangerous plan involving murder. Instead of solving his problem, every decision creates another lie, another betrayal and another reason for someone to want him out of the way. The film turns this messy crime into a stylish mystery filled with dark humour and characters whose real motives are difficult to read.
4. Alpha
Elite assassin Sita grows up believing Colonel Fateh Singh Lakhawat is her father until she learns that he actually kidnapped her as a child. She also discovers that her upbringing was connected to a secret regenerative-serum programme and the criminal organisation that shaped her life.

A Mumbai police officer is investigating the murder of a fellow cop when an accident leaves serious gaps in his memory.

8. Glory
The unexplained death of a celebrated boxer brings two estranged brothers back to the hometown and boxing world they once left behind.
