The third week of any given month is not overly emotionally difficult for Netflix subscribers regarding favorite titles leaving. The real exodus occurs at the end of every month, and the other items saying goodbye are scattered about.
Such is the case with the list below. While 18 items are going away, many of them belong to a couple of particular franchises. For instance, three Motu Patlu titles are moving on. Rudra fans also have to say heartfelt goodbyes to a couple of titles. Overall, not a bad week.

“It’s a vicious circle that we are caught in, it’s a fight that we have often,” Mehta said. “We need to break out of this. We need a creative ambition, which is greater than just our domestic market, you need a global mindset that says that you are reaching out to the whole world. We are all global citizens now, in one way or the other, we are...
