3. Das- For landing
Release Date: 26 December 2022
Release: Netflix India.
Vir Das, the voice of millennials, is back with his fourth Netflix stand-up special and we can’t keep calm. Tickling the intellectual funny bone, Vir Das talks about his childhood in India, the perils of resentment and finding his footing in the world in his new special ‘Landing’.

4. White Noise
Release Date: 30 December
Release: Netflix India.
An irreverent comedy-drama, White Noise stars Adam Driver, Greta Gerwig, Don Cheadle and others. Based on the 1985 Don DeLillo novel of the same name, the story revolves around college professor Jack Gladney (Driver) and his family. Their comfortable suburban life is upended when a nearby chemical spill causes “The Airborne Toxic Event”, leaving a noxious blackout over the area that forces the Gladney family to evacuate. An offbeat, sad story shown through a darkly comedic lens is an unexpected way to end 2022, but we can’t wait to try. White Noise will release on Netflix India on 30 December.

Starting the new year with Master Robbery is our plan this time, and yours?
