Netflix UAE’s top 10 list in 2026 reflects the country’s diverse, multilingual audience. Two titles currently dominate searches and watch time: the Rajinikanth starrer ‘Coolie’ and the Bollywood action sequel ‘War 2’. Both films have broken regional streaming records and sparked conversations across social media.
‘Coolie’ – Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, this Tamil action drama features Rajinikanth in a never‑before‑seen avatar. The film had a limited theatrical release in the UAE (where Tamil cinema has a massive fanbase) and arrived on Netflix within eight weeks. The story revolves around a porter who gets caught in a gold smuggling racket. High‑octane fight scenes, a gripping background score by Anirudh Ravichander, and Rajinikanth’s signature style have made ‘Coolie’ the most‑watched non‑English film on Netflix UAE in 2026. Many viewers are rewatching it for the post‑credits scene that teases a sequel.
‘War 2’ – The follow‑up to the 2019 blockbuster ‘War’, this film reunites Hrithik Roshan as Kabir and introduces Kiara Advani as a new RAW agent. The story shifts from Europe to the Middle East, with key action sequences filmed in Abu Dhabi and Al Ula (Saudi Arabia). UAE audiences love ‘War 2’ for its slick production, stunning cinematography, and a twist that connects to the YRF Spy Universe. The film’s theme song, “Jhoome Jo Pathaan 2.0,” has also become a viral reel audio on Instagram.
Why are these films trending so heavily on Netflix UAE? First, the UAE’s population includes a large South Asian expatriate community that craves home‑language entertainment. Second, both films offer high production value that matches Hollywood standards. Third, Netflix’s investment in dubbing and subtitles (Arabic, English, Tagalog, Urdu) makes them accessible to a wider UAE audience.
Other trending Netflix UAE titles in 2026 include the Arabic original series “Dubai Rains” (a crime drama set in Deira) and the Korean thriller “The Glory Part 3”. But for now, ‘Coolie’ and ‘War 2’ remain on top.
